| I just got my very first Le Creuset and can’t wait to use it. It is the 7 qt Dutch oven. Anybody have a good recipe they’d like to share? |

I use mine almost every time I cook. Enjoy!
Boils water so fast for pasta. My favorite recipe in it is Barefoot Contessa's Lamb Shanks with Orzo. |

Barefoot Contessas Company Pot Roast is an amazing recipe. Also Chicken and Orzo in a pot— a variation on classic chicken noodle soup, really.
I make pasta sauce in mine a lot. And all my soups. |

Those sound great, thank you! |

Yes! I love The NY Times recipe for this, or Sally’s Baking Addiction. |

I think 7 qt may be too big for this though |

Same here. I use it almost every day. It heats up so much faster I used it for everything from pasta, to chili to stealing veggies. |

+1. I use mine everyday too! I would make a nice bolognese. Re: baking, Depending on which recipe use, I would caution against preheating your pot dry because it can crack enameling. Some recipes call for that some don’t just keep it in mind. |

| Do not use your nice Le Creuset for baking bread. Get a smaller cheaper enameled cast iron pot for that, and use parchment paper inside as well. Even still, mine discolored. But I use my large Le a Reiser for almost everything every day. Even when a recipe calls for a skillet, I usually use my Dutch oven because I don't have to worry about the ingredients overflowing (like wilting a lot of spinach). |
