[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently invested in a cast iron Dutch oven. It was $79 at Target. It is great for reducing the number of pans I use! For example, I made beef stew the other night, and was able to brown the beef in it, then saute the onions and garlic in it, then add the tomato paste and other ingredients and simmer it for several hours. So, one pan for a multi-ingredient dish.[/quote] I looooove my cast iron Dutch oven. I bought the Lodge brand (also at Target, I think, or maybe Amazon) and it was only $50 or $60. I use it almost every single day. I do the same thing the PP mentioned- brown any meat first or sweat out veggies, then add tomatoes or broth or whatever. I'm also a huge fan of steam-in-the-bag stuff. The other day I did steaks on our George Forman grill while potatoes steamed in the bag in the microwave and frozen broccoli steamed on the stovetop. Dinner was done in about 10 minutes total (no joke) and cleanup was also a 10-min process.[/quote]
