Fry, Braise, Bake, Roast, and More!]( [What makes a Dutch oven special? Let us count the ways.] Dear friend, The pride of every kitchen, the Dutch oven, is on every gift registry and in every well-stocked cabinet. A good Dutch oven is a kitchen essential, heavy and thick enough to conduct and retain heat and deep enough to handle large cuts of meat and quarts of cooking liquid. You may associate it with braises, stews, and chilis, but it can do much more. How much easier is weeknight cooking when you’re dealing with only one pot (a Dutch oven)? Which pot best approximates a bakery’s steamy bread ovens? (A Dutch oven.) How can you keep salad cold on the table? (Put it in a chilled Dutch oven!)

The recipes are designed to work with the most common sizes of Dutch ovens (5½–7 quarts) so that you won’t need to purchase a new one (but if you’re in the market, we’ll steer you toward great options at a range of price points).

We surveyed home cooks and learned 84% of you have a Dutch oven but only 30% use it at least once a week. Here in the test kitchen, our 69 Dutch ovens are in near-constant use. For Cook It in Your Dutch Oven, we’ve unlocked the full potential of this classic pot by creating recipes that not only can be made in a Dutch oven, but should be. We took advantage of the pot’s unique features, such as the heavy cast-iron construction, the enameled surface of our favorite Dutch ovens, the high sides, and the tight-fitting lid, to make each and every recipe foolproof. Stew, braise, roast, fry, bake . . . all in this versatile kitchen workhorse [order now]( Make One-Pot Dinners Nowhere is the Dutch oven’s do-it-all power more apparent than in one-pot meals. Its capacity to hold large amounts of food, along with its ability to handle nearly any cooking method, makes it easy to transition from the stovetop to the oven and then to the table for serving—without reaching for another pan. Once you make our Weeknight Bolognese, Udon Noodles with Mustard Greens and Shiitake-Ginger Sauce, and Beef Enchilada Casserole in your Dutch oven, you’ll never go back to the multipan/multidish versions of old. [Chicken Pot Pie with Spring Vegetables]( Chicken Pot Pie with Spring Vegetables Serves 6 Build your filling in the pot and then invert the lid and place your lattice crust on the upside-down lid so they bake together. The lid emulates a baking sheet, allowing the heat to circulate around the crust so it crisps evenly and doesn’t turn soggy, as it would if it were baked directly on top of the filling. [We break down the steps to create a lattice top for your Chicken Pot Pie with Spring Vegetables]( You’ll reach for your Dutch oven again and again [order now]( Roasts and Braises A Dutch oven is excellent for roasting and braising. The pot makes it easy to brown meat on the stovetop before going into the oven to finish. Our Chicken in a Pot with Red Potatoes, Carrots, and Shallots; Braised Short Ribs with Wild Mushroom Farrotto; and Indoor Pulled Pork with Sweet and Tangy Barbecue Sauce are intensely flavored, easy-to-master recipes. With a Dutch oven you can also cook en cocotte, a classic French technique that relies on a heavy covered pot to trap moisture released by the food, creating a concentrated jus as the meat braises in its own juices. [Roasted Pork Loin with Barley, Butternut Squash, and Swiss Chard]( Roasted Pork Loin with Barley, Butternut Squash, and Swiss Chard Serves 6 We cooked the pork loin en cocotte to produce juicy, perfectly cooked meat along with creamy barley. The low-heat, trapped-moisture method kept the pork from overcooking. Once it was done, we finished cooking the barley on the stovetop, adding cubed butternut squash and Swiss chard stems toward the end of cooking so they could just become tender. In the final minutes, we stirred in the quick-cooking chard leaves and some Parmesan cheese for a bit of richness. Fry Your Favorites Chances are you don’t own a deep-fryer—but that doesn’t mean you can’t make plenty of fried foods, from pub-style Fish and Chips to Drop Doughnuts. Even shallow-fried foods such as our Extra-Crunchy Fried Chicken are worth making in a Dutch oven, as the pot’s high sides alleviate spattering. Whether you’re deep- or shallow-frying, the Dutch oven’s heat retention ensures that foods fry up crisp, not greasy or soggy. [Coconut Shrimp with Mango Dipping Sauce]( Coconut Shrimp with Mango Dipping Sauce Serves 6 to 8 Making this bar-food favorite at home is easy with our simple and flavorful recipe. Maximize coconut flavor in the shrimp by adding sweetened shredded coconut to the panko coating and use creamy coconut milk as a binder to help it stick. Fry the shrimp in three small batches to maintain a consistent oil temperature in the Dutch oven. A dipping sauce of pureed mango, peach preserves, and fresh cilantro is the perfect accompaniment. Bake Artisan-Style Breads Using a Dutch oven is hands-down the easiest way to re-create bakery-style breads such as Seeded Seven-Grain Bread, Spicy Olive Bread, and Pull-Apart Dinner Rolls. The pot mimics the steamy environment of a professional bread oven to create light interiors and crisp crusts, and it also helps enriched doughs rise high as they bake. [Oatmeal-Raisin Bread]( Oatmeal-Raisin Bread Makes 1 loaf Sweetened with just a touch of brown sugar, this bread is great toasted up for breakfast or perfect with coffee for an afternoon snack. Mixing the oatmeal into the dough toward the end of kneading incorporates it without creating big clumps of oats. Mist the dough with water and sprinkle more oats on top for a pretty finish.

The pot’s heat-retaining sides also help desserts such as Peach Cobbler, Bourbon-Pecan Bread Pudding, and White-Wine Poached Pears with Lemon and Herbs stay warm at the table. [Chocolate Lava Cake for a Crowd]( Chocolate Lava Cake for a Crowd Serves 12 Individual-size chocolate lava cakes are a classic restaurant dessert, but they’re fussy to make at home, especially when serving a crowd. Our foolproof recipe makes a large-scale lava cake that maintains the magic of the original but offers up easy shortcuts (such as mixing the batter right in the Dutch oven). The pot’s heat-retaining walls keep the cake’s center gooey and warm through second servings.

We tested models and have both an overall winner and a Best Buy option. WINNER - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED [Le Creuset 7 1/4 Quart Round Dutch Oven. BUY NOW.]( [Cooking: 3/3, Ease of Use: 3/3, Durability: 3/3] This perfect, pricy pot bested the competition again. It was substantial enough to hold and distribute heat evenly without being unbearably heavy. The light-colored interior and low, straight sides combined to give us good visibility and made it easy to monitor browning and thermometer position. The broad cooking surface saved us time since we could cook more food at once. The lid was smooth and easy to clean. This pot is expensive, but it was exceptionally resistant to damage. best buy - recommended [Cuisinart Chef's Classic Enameled Cast Iron Covered Casserole]( [Cooking: 3/3, Ease of Use: 2.5/3, Durability: 2.5/3] With an exceptionally broad cooking surface and low, straight sides, this 7-quart pot shared the same advantageous shape as the Le Creuset. It was heavier, but not prohibitively so. The looped handles were comfortable to hold, though slightly smaller than ideal. The rim and lid chipped cosmetically when we repeatedly slammed the lid onto the pot, so it’s slightly less durable than our winner. Caring for Your Dutch Oven (It’s Easy!) We know these pots aren’t cheap, but with a little care and a few tricks, your Dutch oven will retain its beauty for years (George Washington’s mother, Mary Ball Washington, included her Dutch oven in her will, so we’re talking heirloom durable). Enamel is a glass-like coating that is fired onto the cast-iron pot. If it’s sharply struck with something harder, it can crack or chip. If you’re using metal utensils, try not to bang them against the edge of the pot or strike the inside too hard. If your pot does crack or chip, it’s fine. There’s cast iron under the enamel, which is perfectly safe to cook with.
