Dutch oven

[JBM]

I got one for Xmas. A Le Creuset and I'm excited to use it. What do you make in yours? I'm mostly looking at pot roast type of recipes so far.

I bought mine to bake bread in but I find I use it a lot. Never for pot roast. I use it mostly for things like soup, I guess?

[witchypoo]

cassoulet
lamb shanks
baked beans
braised poultry
fruit desserts like slump and grunt

[glwestcott]

Anything braised. Certainly all Witchy said and bread too!

I need to know if "slump and grunt" is one recipe, or two.

[BonitaApplebum]

And I make soups and chilis in my dutch oven, in addition to the above. It's also useful if I ever get wild and want to deep fry something.

Grunt/slump: two names for the same thing. They are like a cobbler but cooked on the stove instead of in the oven.

I have two - one smaller and one larger and I use them all.the.time.

I use mine a lot for popcorn as well. Diablita is I'm sure cringing as she reads this. But it makes great popcorn!

A lot of the basics I used to use it for all the time I now do in the instant pot, so it gets used less than it used to.

[diablita]

  you remember that?

Mostly stews/soups/sauces/curries not made in the IP

I bought one like 20 years ago and have NEVER used it. It's in the basement.

My Le Creuset deep skillet is a true workhorse in my kitchen.  I use it for braising, e.g., coq au vin, boeuf bourguignon, frying fish and oysters, searing scallops, and browning meats that go into the Instant Pot.  The IP is great for a number of dishes, but the Le Creuset is far superior for searing and browning.

I do! Because I was so confused at why you would be upset with him—it makes great popcorn! Mine is so beat up has so much patina by now that l use it for anything and everything. I do have a quarter sized chip in the enamel though, which is a bummer. I think a roommate at some point used metal utensils.

So I decided to make a pot roast. I found a recipe from Ina Garten and went to Whole Foods today. I spent a lot of money getting everything I need. Then I got home and this happened.
Plus I have veggies to cook. I guess a separate pot?

I mean, you just need another, larger Dutch Oven 

[witchypoo]

i will wait for your feedback re the ina pot roast recipe before i say anything.

I have an old Club Aluminum one that I use all the time. 

[Rejaneration]

I had one for years and never used it.  Then, started with anything that needed deep frying (actually my guy used it for that). Now, coq au vin and anything that requires braising.
