What makes a Dutch oven special? Let us count the ways. Chicken Pot Pie 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. What can you make in your Dutch oven? Better to ask what you can’t make. 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. The foolproof recipes in Cook It in Your Dutch Oven prove just how versatile this multitasker is. With your most versatile pot you can: 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. 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. 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. Make 'One-Bowl' Desserts Use a Dutch oven as your mixing bowl to prepare rustic desserts and then transfer it directly to the oven to bake. 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.
