I use it to make soups, roasts, and braising meat. It's easy to clean and in the interior gets stained I think you just boil baking soda in it and it magically disappears. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-dutch-oven#post-335795 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 15:23:33 +0000 Adira 335795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kakimochi: I actually got mine as a wedding gift (or maybe at my bridal shower, I forget), so I wasn't aware of the cost till I just checked it on Amazon, but I agree! Why is the 3 qt more expensive??? Maybe because it's more popular? I find it to be the perfect size for most of my stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-dutch-oven#post-335793 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 15:23:12 +0000 aprk 335793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I would cook exclusively in Le Creuset dutch ovens if I could. They are so useful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-dutch-oven#post-335783 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 15:20:45 +0000 kakimochi 335783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes @adira, i have the 6 qt and 3 qt lodge dutch ovens, i bought from amazon about 2 months ago, though it boggles me that the 3 qt is more expensive than the 6 qt, but still overall a very good price for what seems like a comparable brand to le creuset. i have been using it often, braising, making casseroles, stew. one pot spaghetti, yum!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-dutch-oven#post-335013 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 10:23:25 +0000 ShootingStar 335013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Calphalon one, but I'm not too sure what to do with it other than cook meatballs, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-dutch-oven#post-335007 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 10:21:17 +0000 CATWOMAN 335007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>teehee "dutch oven" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-dutch-oven#post-334996 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 10:14:43 +0000 Freckles 334996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 4.7L (i think??) oval Le Creuset dutch oven that we got at the outlet store in California. $170 was an AMAZING deal considering they cost about $300-$500 at the Canadian William Sonomas. </p> <p>I use it pretty frequently, so i think it was one of my better purchases. I use it for braising, stews, and soups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-dutch-oven#post-334970 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 10:05:18 +0000 LemonLong 334970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one and I don't use it that much.

Not chipping, just wearing away, so food tends to stick. I still love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-dutch-oven#post-334911 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 09:42:55 +0000 yoursilverlining 334911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 2 – a Le Creuset one and a larger cast iron one. I prefer the cast iron one because we can use that on the stove top as well. </p> <p>My favorite thing to make is a pork loin with roasted onion and fennel. We also make soups and stews in the dutch ovens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-dutch-oven#post-334888 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 09:37:33 +0000 pinkcupcake 334888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I want one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-dutch-oven#post-334827 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 09:07:43 +0000 Mrs. Blue 334827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a few and I use them all the time for virtually everything. I do a lot of meat dishes in them, but they are truly versatile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-dutch-oven#post-334816 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 09:02:29 +0000 MamaMoose 334816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank God I'm not the only one who giggled in my head. Sometimes I think I'm trapped in the 5th grade.</p> <p>I have a Le Creuset one but I received it as a gift for my birthday this year and I haven't done much cooking while I've been preggs so I haven't tried it yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-dutch-oven#post-334811 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 08:58:54 +0000 littlebug 334811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have debated about getting one, but I can put our Calphalon pots in the oven, so I usually end up just using my 5-qt saucepan when a recipe calls for dutch oven usage. If I had the space in the kitchen to store it, I'd go for it, but I don't so the Calphalon works for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-dutch-oven#post-334799 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 08:51:48 +0000 hellobeeboston 334799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Le Creuset I got for our wedding and i LURVE it.</p> <p>i use it quite often, especially in the winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-dutch-oven#post-334786 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 08:43:43 +0000 oliviaoblivia 334786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have three from Le Creuset, a 5.5 quart, 9 quart and a 5 quart braiser. They get more use than anything else in our kitchen. You can find them at TJ Maxx every so often. I'm tempted to buy more because I love them so much, not because we need them.</p> <p>As for recipes I use them to make just about everything but my favorite is the NYTimes no-knead bread recipe. Perfect loaves every time. I also use Jamie Oliver's roast chicken recipe a lot. Oh and baked oatmeal in the winter. </p> <p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/08/dining/081mrex.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/08/dining/081mrex.html</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/chicken-recipes/chicken-in-milk" rel="nofollow">http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/chicken-recipes/chicken-in-milk</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-baked-pu-159872" rel="nofollow">http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-baked-pu-159872</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-dutch-oven#post-334773 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 08:36:55 +0000 ladyfingers 334773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my dad got me a cheaper Better Homes and Gardens 6 qt one for Christmas a few years back.

I hoped we'd get one as a wedding gift, didn't happen. Had one on my Christmas wish list, didn't happen. So I found one at home goods for like $40 and bought it for myself :) It's ~6qts, Chantal, green enamel. I've only used it once so far. Baked beans. I'm sure I'll use it a ton though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-dutch-oven#post-334749 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 08:25:28 +0000 BSB 334749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: haha! It did sound weird as I was writing it out!</p> <p>I thought about adding pot or cookware to the title but ended up not doing it. </p> <p>DH said the same thing when I told him I wanted one. </p>
