Dutch ovens are awesome, there's no other word for them! They are a classic cooking tool for a reason.
I love them so much that I wrote a detailed post all about why and how to choose one, you can check that out right here.
I often find myself reaching for my Staub Braiser or my Staub 5.5 qt for most of my recipes, and if you’re like me, you’re going to find yourself making these recipes on repeat.
What are the best things to make in a dutch oven?
- Chicken and potatoes - cooking chicken and potatoes in a dutch oven will result in beautifully seared and then braised chicken that’s super tender and juicy! Just add potatoes to the mix and you’re all set for dinner.
- Braised beef - braised beef is fantastic in the oven, whether you’re making short ribs or a chuck roast, you’re going to end up with melt-in-your-mouth meat that’s pretty addicting!
- Chili and stews - the dutch oven is an ideal choice because it allows for browning, and then braising. Additionally, it heats evenly, keeps your stew hot, well after you’ve removed it from the heat!
- Mashed potatoes - garlic mashed potatoes, russet mashed potatoes, or Yukon mashed potatoes, all are fantastic made in the dutch oven. The reason being: they’ll stay warm for over an hour after you’ve made them. This is especially ideal if you’re serving a crowd or family!
