I'm gunna break her in with a nice beef stew 😋

A grocery store loaf could never compared

I want to make ribs on my Dutch oven today, I have 1 LB of boneless country style ribs.

I hate BBQ sauce and can’t find a recipe without it. Can I just do a dry rub in the Dutch oven or will they burn? Do I need a sauce when using a Dutch oven?

I received this as a birthday gift from amazon and had to return the first on for an actual chip. Noticed a pinhole near the bottom of this one. Is it still safe to use? Really don't want to have to return another one if I don't have to.

I always struggled with the bitterness of using Guinness in stew but cooking half of the beer in the stew and adding half at the end, plus adding brown sugar seemed to do the trick. Turned out beautifully.

As the title says I joined this group to gather info:)

I loove preparing Sunday roasts for my family but my instant pot always disappoints.

I was looking at the brand Le Creuset.

Any recommendations are very welcome!:)

Sister wants a Dutch oven for her birthday, sent me this one. Sold exclusively by Belk's.

Any reviews on it? Should I look at other brands, specifically Lodge (that's my price range)?

Did I permanently fuck up my Dutch oven?

I recently moved into a new place, and I put my stove on medium (4 out of 10) to heat up the pot. Apparently my stove is powerful as fuck. Burnt my Dutch oven immediately once the olive oil was on it.

I tried using baking soda and vinegar.

I used baking soda and vinegar and boiled it with water.

I tried pouring out the solution, put some more baking soda on it then used half a lemon to scrub it.

I used salt and the other half of the lemon.

What do I do.

I discovered this scratch in one of my medium-sized dutch ovens. It's about an inch and half long. I'm unsure if this would be considered chipping since I can feel it, but it's pretty small so I'm also unsure if this is still safe to use. What does this sub think?

If it's not safe to use, what are the recommendations for disposing? I do not want to keep it around the apartment and I don't bake bread (I read I could use parchment paper over it and bake bread). I also wouldn't want to donate it and expose someone else to the danger of a chipped dutch ovens. Thanks!

my friend told me that once it reachs 190 degree, then you have to keep it in there for another 2 hours then it will be perfect, its a 3.5 lb pot roast cut into halfs and are sitting side by side in the dutch oven.

Bought from Target less than 2 weeks ago, this was the second use. I haven't used any metal utensils on it. I had it on the gas stove heating up with some oil. It wasn't even hot yet.

Tri-Bells, onion, garlic, carrot and tomato. Plus a little seasoning. No dairy.

I posted in another sub and was drafted to the sub, but I stupidly had set my stove top to high and let my Dutch oven. Sit there for far too long and then when I added something into it, it basically caused my stove top to explode and the enamel on the Dutch oven to crack. I now know that I’m supposed to only cook on medium however, if anybody else had some helpful advice on things to do to not screw up my kitchen again I would greatly appreciate it!

Added oil to Lodge enameled dutch oven to brown some meat, and I noticed small bubbles coming from this small hole. I was able so sear the meat and slow cook for 6 hours without the hole getting bigger or any cracking. Anyone else experience this? Accident waiting to happen?

Any suggestions other than non metal utensils and don’t clean it with anything other than a nonabrasive sponge and mild soap? Are people heating too long or not stirring or not warming the pot up with contents? Let me know. I just got a beautiful DO for Christmas and I do not want it to end up on here asking “help”.
