There is a great cookbook out for Dutch ovens called Glorious One-Pot Meals by Elizabeth Yarnell. Over 200 pages, soft cover book. No pictures, but the book is very well put together and some great recipes, all seperated by category. Seafood, vegan, chicken, vegetables, etc. If your looking for recipe ideas, check this book out :P

I would imagine that Le Creuset would enhance this products ability greatly! Enameled cast iron is fantastic at this process by itself! How much more so with this wonderful bag! I can't wait to try it out myself ;)

I would *not* use this on Le Creuset enameled cast iron. For their enameled cast iron, Le Creuset recommends only soft scrubbers or brushes, and specifically not metallic scrubbers. http://www.lecreuset.com/care#ci-cleaningRecommendations for their stoneware can be found here: http://www.lecreuset.com/care#stnwr-cleaning

Le Creuset pots work nicely, but do require more time to heat the pot, lid and food through, so keep that in mind. Stainless steel is another great option. Use with copper, steel, aluminum, enameled cast iron, or glassware pots in standard sizes with short handles and tight fitting lid. Use the right sized pot for the food you want to cook in order to best retain heat.Also, glass lids work, but do not retain heat as well as the metal lids. Also, we always recommend placing a dish towel and a potholder (silicon is best) beneath the pot to protect your bag from the heat and spillage,Hope that helps!

I just found out what a Dutch Oven is. My neighbor told me about it. I ordered one to cook a recipe in. Comon sense would tell you to only use utensils that do not scratch the surface. This goes for any pans that have a coating or something. I really just started cooking stuff.

If you use it as a convection oven, any type of cookware will do.... just remember that food does cook faster because of the circulating air.......If you use it as a microwave......Use microwave cookware and be careful not to use metal or cookware that has metallic paint.....you will have a fancy spark show! ceramics seem to work best! Hope this helps!

The one I purchased (L12DCO3) would work. But remember; the Dutch Oven itself is very heavy...and once filled with a soup/stew will be too heavy to move around. Be prepared to serve from the oven. and hopefully one of the men will offer to clean it. Also don't forget to season the oven prior to the first use. All that being said... this is a great item at a great price that should last a lifetime.

You could probably do it if you knew what you were doing, but I do know that Lodge sells flat bottom dutch ovens. You may want to look at those first.

I usually use my cast iron skillet, but I am sure it would be okay in the dutch oven too...

There are about 75 recipes in this book. [Edit: I see someone else counted 68 - i just estimated.] Le Creuset makes a dozen or so types of enameled cast iron cookware, so there are about six for each type (dutch oven, skillet, etc.). I bought the book with my first Le Creuset product (a dutch oven) primarily to learn how to not ruin the most expensive piece of cookware I own. The recipes are varied, and can be made in non-cast-iron cookware, but if you just want recipes, this is not the best source.

Answered by another Amazoner: "In the book that came with one of my pans, they call it vitreous enamel. I am very sensitive to chemical smells and any off odors and there is nothing about this pan that has ever put me on edge. I hope this helps. Here's a link about the process of enameing, while it isn't Le Creuset, I think it will give you a general idea of it.http://www.porcelain-industries.com/porcelain-enameling-101"

I use my cast iron on my ceramic cook top all the time. I'm of course careful not to drop them, but everything has worked fine including my 9 quart dutch oven. I have found that hard anodized heats faster on the ceramic, but love using my cast iron too...

Absolutely. I cook everything that is cooked on the stove top in my Le Creuset. It's great but it is very heavy.

Depends what you're looking for whether a campfire Dutch oven or one for stove top and or oven. Generally, the heavier it is, the more stable it is with regards to holding/dispersing heat. I have a campfire version, the enameled one, and another 8 qt with a dome lid. All are Lodge. There are others out there, although I'm not familiar with them. I have an older cast iron skillet that is not a Lodge, and it is fine. I also have a cast iron loaf pan in which I have made breads and meatloaf. I also recently purchased a 12 inch Lodge cast iron skillet, and got a stove top griddle and ribbed square pan as gifts; all are Lodge. Keep your un-enameled cast iron well seasoned. Even if pre-seasoned, I still season them myself.

Try one of the Imusa casseroles. Imusa Enamel Dutch Oven, 4.5 Quart, TurquoiseThey don't do heat diffusion very well (you will appreciate the difference when you get the LC), but they have the same easy-to-clean enamel advantage, they're made in Mexico, not China, and for the price of a LC dutch oven you could buy ten of them.

HiThanks for your enquiry - however, sorry, but as "general" retailers and not cookware specialists, we are not best placed to answer this. Probably best to ask someone with cooking/baking experience and knowledge.YoursBuzzBase
