There is a great cookbook out for Dutch ovens called Glorious One-Pot Meals by Elizabeth Yarnell. Over 200 pages, soft cover book. No pictures, but the book is very well put together and some great recipes, all seperated by category. Seafood, vegan, chicken, vegetables, etc. If your looking for recipe ideas, check this book out :P

Yes, as long as the enamel is intact on the inside of the pot. That's what is great about this pot you can directly cook in it and can with it. Dual purpose :)

HiThanks for your enquiry - however, sorry, but as "general" retailers and not cookware specialists, we are not best placed to answer this. Probably best to ask someone with cooking/baking experience and knowledge.YoursBuzzBase

The Lodge is completely enameled. Unless you scratch off the enamel, it will not rust. I love my Lodge Dutch Ovens, I have 3 now.

Le Creuset pots work nicely, but do require more time to heat the pot, lid and food through, so keep that in mind. Stainless steel is another great option. Use with copper, steel, aluminum, enameled cast iron, or glassware pots in standard sizes with short handles and tight fitting lid. Use the right sized pot for the food you want to cook in order to best retain heat.Also, glass lids work, but do not retain heat as well as the metal lids. Also, we always recommend placing a dish towel and a potholder (silicon is best) beneath the pot to protect your bag from the heat and spillage, Hope that helps!

I had a less expensive enameled dutch oven before this one. The enemel had a tendency to chip very easily. So far no chips in this one and it tends to cook more evenly on the cook top. Is it worth the price....yes, if you use a dutch oven often as I do.

Answered by another Amazoner: "In the book that came with one of my pans, they call it vitreous enamel. I am very sensitive to chemical smells and any off odors and there is nothing about this pan that has ever put me on edge. I hope this helps. Here's a link about the process of enameing, while it isn't Le Creuset, I think it will give you a general idea of it.http://www.porcelain-industries.com/porcelain-enameling-101"

Hi I use a black speckled enamel pot used by other solar ovens and it wors well. Am going to try cast iron. Think it will take a while longer to reach max heat.

My impression of a Dutch oven is cast iron. Usually they are out over hot coals. This pot is stainless with a heat resistant lid, but just doesn't look rugged enough for using as a Dutch oven

I have not used it in other than my regular oven. It is ceramic and designed for low-moderate heat cooking over a longer period of time. I have used it successfully many times in my oven at a temperature of up to 350 (F) because that's what the recipe called for. I think I would opt for a cast iron Dutch oven for use on a wood stove rather than this ceramic pot. But that is just my opinion.

A properly seasoned cast iron skillet won't stick. The Le Creuset looks very nice, but sticks pretty easily. Had I to do it over again, I'd go for cast iron.

I am used to these excellent pots since 30 years, while I lived in France. At the time they were very ordinary and cheap ones. Now they are expensive.French and Dutch oven seem to me marketing names for America, in France they are just Cocotte de chez le Creuset, see in Amazon.fr below, anyways the one that I bought as a present (my 30 year old one is still perfect) was much cheaper at Amazon than elsewhere. http://www.amazon.fr/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_10?__mk_fr_FR=%C3%85M%C3%85Z%C3%95%C3%91&u;rl=search-alias%3Dkitchen&field-keywords;=le%20creuset&sprefix;=le+creuset%2Caps%2C291 .

I just found out what a Dutch Oven is. My neighbor told me about it. I ordered one to cook a recipe in. Comon sense would tell you to only use utensils that do not scratch the surface. This goes for any pans that have a coating or something. I really just started cooking stuff.

I am not sure which products you are comparing... But I do love the Lodge Dutch Ovens. I own 3 different sizes, and each costs $50-$60.Le Creuset is made in France, and retails between $250 and $400 per "French" Oven. Lodge is made in America, and is great for slow cooking, Braising, cheaper cuts of meat. Pork Shoulder (called Pork Butt in the Grocery Store) with Carrots, Celery, and Onions, with a cup or 2 of water, will be so delicious when cooked for 3 hours at 350F. You should try it. If you have never used a Dutch Oven, it is amazing the flavor that you can get.
