What to Look for in an Enameled Dutch Oven

If you don’t already own a Dutch oven, I’d love to recommend some of the pots that I know and use regularly. In fact, all of these pots were used over 100 times in testing the recipes for this cookbook!

Cuisinart (5.5 quart) – This oval-shaped Dutch oven was the very first pot I ever purchased. It’s the perfect size for a family of 2 – 6 people, and it’s the best value for its quality and durability.

Le Creuset (7.25 quart roaster and 4.5 quart for everyday) – Definitely the most expensive, fastest to heat up, and built to last Dutch ovens you could possibly buy. I love using the larger one for high-volume dishes like stews or roasts; this is great for when you want leftovers or want to serve a crowd.

The smaller pot is ideal for desserts and just a great size for every day cooking if feeding 1-4 people.

My most recent budget find was the Amazon basics Dutch oven. I absolutely love its large round shape and size for baking bread and roasting chicken. It’s worth noting that the enamel surface is easy to chip. I’ve chipped the handle already, and it received mixed positive and negative reviews.

Last but certainly not least is the newest addition to my Dutch oven collection: a round 4 quart Staub in matte gray. I absolutely adore this pot. It’s really the perfect size for most recipes and a great overall quality pot with a black interior (which I really love).
