[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Literally everything.  No joke.  I have seven and use them all the time.  Baking bread, baked pastas, braises, stews, soups, stocks, browning meat, slow-cooked dishes, dal, lentils...

There is nothing you cannot make in your dutch oven.  Well, I don't use it for scrambled eggs.  But baked egg casseroles?  Absolutely.[/quote]

I love this forum!! Can you give more examples of what kind of stuff you’d made over a week or 2 week period? I’m really
trying to expand my repertoire. [/quote]

Haha. Sure.

I bake sourdough every week and have two 4.5 quart ovens that I use for bread (and other small batch stuff). I have two so I can bake both loaves at once.

Also this week:
- duck fat fried potatoes last night in big Dutch oven 
- poaching chicken breasts for Caesar salads tonight
- also tonight making an apple crisp that I’ll bake in one of the smaller ovens (cast iron is great for baking because it holds heat really consistently, is easier to pull from the oven than a baking dish because of the side handles, and I love having a lid for leftovers storage!)
- tomorrow night making dal and rice. I’ll use one oven for the dal, another for the rice. And my cast iron LC pan to heat up my naan. 
- Thursday making homemade gnocchi and will boil the pasta and then toss with pesto in my Dutch oven. 
- Friday pot stickers, again in my cast iron pan. 
- Saturday I’m baking braised short ribs, polenta, and roasted green beans. I’ll probably use three for just the meal, although may do the green beans on a sheet pan. 
- Sunday I’ll make stock and then soup, so that’s two more uses…

It goes on and on and on[/quote]
