Tis' the season to start talking about Dutch Ovens. Fellas, I already know you are thinking, "fart + under covers = Dutch oven." Well, that is true but when it comes to fall cooking, the Dutch oven is THE tool of the kitchen. So you may ask--what exactly is a Dutch oven...you know, the other kind? It is any large, heavy pot that is suitable for stovetop or oven use. These hard-working pots are the perfect tool for slow-simmered soups and braises, as well as a few other required fall meals, such as the chili for football! So what is our top Dutch ovens?
1. Le Creuset 3.5-Quart Wide Oval French Oven, $239 at Amazon — this is the Green Egg of Dutch ovens.
2. Lodge 6-Quart Lodge Color Enamel Dutch Oven, $50 at Amazon — this is my hunting Dutch oven that I take and used for stew and baked beans. At this price it is a great deal and you can get your start on this one.
3. Staub 4 1/4-quart Oval Dutch Ovens, $155 at Amazon — This is an oval Dutch oven great to hold, and roast a chicken using this. Cleans easily, works hard, and looks good.
