I need to purchase a new Dutch Oven to replace the 50-year old Le Creuset I got from my mother.
But, instead of a new Le Creuset, should I look into a Cuisinart, or some other brand?
What do folks like?
I really want to buy a dutch oven but there's no way I can afford the Le Cruset model. America's Test Kitchen says this is the next best option. Has anyone bought it and if so, do you recommend it. If not, is there another one you recommend? I'd like to stay around the $100 mark.
Sometimes I’ll see something at a thrift shop that screams, “Help! I don’t belong here!” This was one of those items. Before I opened it, I expected to be let off the hook by finding a horribly chipped interior finish. Nope. Pristine. The only “issue” I can find is a chip in the outer enamel, at the bottom edge, the size of a point pen tip. Other than that, I can’t see any evidence this thing has even been used. Been wanting to try an a Dutch oven with an enameled finish, so I couldn’t pass this up for $16. I’m going to pull my raw cast iron 5qt Lodge out of the rotation and give this one a try for the foreseeable.
