Description

Home cooks know that the Dutch oven is the original slow cooker and the most versatile pot in the kitchen-whether the model is well-used, a garage-sale find, or the latest luxe beauty from Le Creuset. From savory meals to sweet desserts, soups to stews, or the perfect pot roast, the Dutch oven is your go-to kitchen essential for cooking comforting one-pot meals.

Don't relegate your prized pot to the back of the cabinet. Learn how to put your Dutch oven to work every day in so many different ways. Turn out practical yet fun meals made entirely in one pot, such as Weeknight Pasta Bolognese; Chicken Pot Pie with Spring Vegetables; and Lamb Meatballs with Orzo, Tomatoes, and Feta. Impressive braises and roasts, such as Braised Short Ribs with Wild Mushroom Farrotto and Roasted Pork Loin with Barley, Butternut Squash, and Swiss Chard, go seamlessly from the stovetop to the oven. We even walk you through deep frying and artisanal bread baking at home. And a range of appealing desserts, from Pear-Ginger Crisp (the pot holds a generous 5 pounds of pears) to Bourbon-Pecan Bread Pudding, benefit from the Dutch oven's high sides and even heating.
