I have both and use them for different purposes. The braiser I use like I would a normal pan of that size but like that it has a the heavy lid (mine is glass so great to see through it). I like it for making one pot rice/noodle dishes. And since it's cast iron, it gets really hot and I can get a good sear on meat. I use it to make chicken breasts in a lemon cream sauce or really any good sauce. </p> <p>I think this is the one I had. Found a super great sale. <a href="https://www.surlatable.com/staub-35qt-braiser-with-domed-glass-lid/PRO-3895943.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.surlatable.com/staub-35qt-braiser-with-domed-glass-lid/PRO-3895943.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dutch-oven-recipes-1#post-2915891 Tue, 26 May 2020 22:51:50 +0000 bhbee 2915891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePumps: ooh that’s a tougher choice. I have what I think is the 2.75qt oval that I bought myself before later getting the 5.5qt round on my wedding registry. I very rarely use the oval as it’s just not big enough for a lot of things and I don’t really make any side dishes in it (probably should!). The 5.5 is an ideal size for my purposes, I can put a pot roast in there or make soup which would both be hard in the 2.75. But 3.5 is a little bigger obviously. You might sometimes have to adjust a recipe, but I could still see making it work. </p> <p>For me the question would be, what would I use the braiser for and what other pans do I have that are similar size/purpose? And same for the Dutch oven. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dutch-oven-recipes-1#post-2915888 Tue, 26 May 2020 20:49:23 +0000 LadyDi 2915888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePumps: probably depends on what you’re using it for. 3.5 seems pretty small. Mine is 7 and I think it’s a great size, 5.5 would have been ok too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dutch-oven-recipes-1#post-2915886 Tue, 26 May 2020 20:37:47 +0000 PurplePumps 2915886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: Thanks! I think I'm convinced. Do you think a 3.5qt is too small though? (this is my workplace reward... my options are a 3.5qt dutch oven, or 3.5qt braiser) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dutch-oven-recipes-1#post-2915843 Mon, 25 May 2020 19:13:21 +0000 gotkimchi 2915843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We’re making Italian beef in our Dutch oven tonight </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dutch-oven-recipes-1#post-2915842 Mon, 25 May 2020 19:10:49 +0000 bhbee 2915842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePumps: Dutch oven for sure. It’s more versatile (like with the bread recipe above) and the high sides make it great for soups and stews. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dutch-oven-recipes-1#post-2915840 Mon, 25 May 2020 17:20:14 +0000 PurplePumps 2915840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have a Dutch oven and braiser can weigh in on which would be "better" to have? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dutch-oven-recipes-1#post-2915597 Tue, 19 May 2020 11:45:21 +0000 Mommy Finger 2915597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: You reminded me of another pork ragu I've made that is amazing.</p> <p>Also, this one with beef short ribs: <a href="http://alittlezaftig.com/?p=2642" rel="nofollow">http://alittlezaftig.com/?p=2642</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dutch-oven-recipes-1#post-2915587 Tue, 19 May 2020 08:34:07 +0000 hellobeeboston 2915587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've also had this one saved for a while but keep forgetting about it - my cousin makes it regularly and shared the recipe, sounds SO GOOD:</p> <p><a href="https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/pork-ragu-creamy-polenta" rel="nofollow">https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/pork-ragu-creamy-polenta</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dutch-oven-recipes-1#post-2915586 Tue, 19 May 2020 08:32:38 +0000 hellobeeboston 2915586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is more of a winter recipe, but I make this in my dutch oven at least once a week when the weather is cool, usually on a Sunday since it takes a while, it's SO DELICIOUS:</p> <p><a href="https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/beef-stew-with-carrots-potatoes.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/beef-stew-with-carrots-potatoes.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dutch-oven-recipes-1#post-2915585 Tue, 19 May 2020 08:22:56 +0000 LadyDi 2915585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: @Mommy Finger: these all look great, I’m going to have to try this bread.

And I use mine for this recipe too. You don't have to use a dutch oven but it holds in the heat so well and it's big enough b/c this makes a lot. But it's so good!!!</p> <p><a href="https://natashaskitchen.com/creamy-chicken-and-rice-recipe/" rel="nofollow">https://natashaskitchen.com/creamy-chicken-and-rice-recipe/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dutch-oven-recipes-1#post-2915455 Sat, 16 May 2020 00:04:38 +0000 bhbee 2915455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="https://www.cookinglight.com/recipes/beef-daube-provencal" rel="nofollow">https://www.cookinglight.com/recipes/beef-daube-provencal</a></p> <p>Not short ribs but tasty tender beef - smells amazing and great leftover and frozen. </p> <p>Also start making Dutch oven bread!
