Owning a Dutch oven is proof that you’ve made it. No matter what else is going on in your life, you can come home to a dependable piece of cookware that will cook soups, stews, braised meats, and bread better than any other piece of equipment in your kitchen.
My Le Creuset Dutch Oven is one of my prized possessions. It’s bright orange—a color I intentionally chose because it’s the brand’s signature hue—and has a gold knob, that I swapped myself and never looked back. Who needs a dining room tablewhen you have a Le Creuset Dutch oven? (Don’t answer that, I know how it sounds.)
Of course, Le Creuset isn’t the only brand that makes dutch ovens. Nowadays you have your pick from established kitchenware brands like Emile Henry, Staub, Cuisinart, and Lodge to newcomers like Great Jones and Misen. They come in a rainbow of colors, a whole host of different sizes, and in both oval and round shapes. There’s a Dutch oven to fit every budget and every kitchen. And once you obtain one, there are all kinds of great ways to fill it.
For regular weekdays and snowy weekends, there’s tortellini, chuck roast, sweet potatoes, kale, chicken thighs, and lentils that are yearning to be turned into a delicious one-pot meal.

I’ve had pizza cooked in a dutch oven on a camping trip once. Very tasty.
how hard is it to boil water?
The stupid Dutch Oven jokes ruined it for all of us.
a #31 as I recall. 6 1/2 quarts — my wife says the kid Mess Sgt in me is still trying to cook in units of one hundred.

The type of Le Creuset we are talking about in Dutch Ovens is cast iron coated with hard porcelain. Leaching aluminum from acidic foods is possible with aluminum foil misused but anodizing makes quality cookware virtually immune to loosing aluminum in cooking and storage.
A non anodized pan used for cooking and then storing tomato sauce overnight leaches an amount of aluminum equivalent to one-four-thousandths of the aluminum in one antacid tablet.

They have a lifetime warranty- we took one back for that, and it was covered.
We collect cast iron cookware, and hang it on the brick wall around our kitchen wood stove. Several years back we stopped in a Lodge cast iron outlet on Christmas holiday, and got a Dutch oven. The best Dutch oven chicken in the world comes out of that thing.
Yep....we took our dutch oven pizza with us and made pizza. Gotta watch the coals.....nuked the first one, I ate the 2nd one (a little burnt on edges), but the 3rd one.....PERFECT....thin crust pizza. The kids said it was the best they ever had.
Until your power goes out or your China-mart microwave craps out and there are no more on the shelves.
Just about nothing will stop me from making a fire and cooking. LIke Cowboy Kent Dutch cookin'
