Owning a Dutch oven is proof that you’ve made it. No matter what else is going on in your life, you can come home to a dependable piece of cookware that will cook soups, stews, braised meats, and bread better than any other piece of equipment in your kitchen.
My Le Creuset Dutch Oven is one of my prized possessions. It’s bright orange—a color I intentionally chose because it’s the brand’s signature hue—and has a gold knob, that I swapped myself and never looked back. Who needs a dining room tablewhen you have a Le Creuset Dutch oven? (Don’t answer that, I know how it sounds.)
Of course, Le Creuset isn’t the only brand that makes dutch ovens. Nowadays you have your pick from established kitchenware brands like Emile Henry, Staub, Cuisinart, and Lodge to newcomers like Great Jones and Misen. They come in a rainbow of colors, a whole host of different sizes, and in both oval and round shapes. There’s a Dutch oven to fit every budget and every kitchen. And once you obtain one, there are all kinds of great ways to fill it.
For regular weekdays and snowy weekends, there’s tortellini, chuck roast, sweet potatoes, kale, chicken thighs, and lentils that are yearning to be turned into a delicious one-pot meal.

Yep, but you will only ever need to buy one, and once you’re done can pass it down to your grandchildren.
aged, tenderized, lime rock encrusted armadillo roadkill cooks up good in a dutch oven...
I have a terra-cotta one and it makes the BEST pot roasts.
Low and slow with fresh rosemary and the meat just falls apart. Then I make my gravy in it.
Getting hungry!
I have my grandmother’s cast Dutch oven. It has so much seasoning to it that absolutely nothing sticks to it. It’s the best cooking utensil I own.
I saw $300-400!
Yessir

Instapot is the best kitchen tool ever invented.
Le Creuset is indeed top of the line.
My wife and I were discussing an economical way to prepare stews and sourdough breads. We decided to go Dutch on a Lodge. Much cheaper, just about as good.
