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

Thank you for your input.I found a few Japanese cookbooks that intend for Le Creuset cast iron ovens. The recipes seem easy. It is Japanese cooking in the cast iron. Photos look fabuluous.

to Markmurto, have you adapted NuWave recipes to this oven? I have the Oyama arriving tomorrow, since it is non-halgen and supposedly short on recipes and all the cookbooks for this type oven are halogen inspred, I'm thinking I'll be "creatively adapting" all my regular cooking times/temps with this oven. I did not want halogen because of burnt/exploding bulb/burnt socket issues I've read with the halogens. Any answer from you (or others) is appreciated, thank you!

Le creuset Ovens are more resistant to chipping (I have a 43 year old one ) but lodge are long lasting - Le Creuset have a lifetime guarantee. There are now many rival companies and most are cheaper but only LC has this guaranteeMore on French ovens from frenchovens.org with comparisons.

I bought this item 2 years ago because it was being discontinued. I already had a smaller version of the dutch oven and ordered this model to replace it. I believe it was being discontinued to be replaced by the 1000 series. This is a quote from Tramontina: "New manufacturing techniques combined with improved materials and design have revitalized old world cooking traditions to offer superior product performance and versatility for an exceptional cooking experience." They may have made changes to the material used or the enamel bonding process. I'm not sure exactly. The design of the 1000 series on their website looks like the sides may be less sloping than my model. I suppose you could email Tramontina and ask what the changes are. I like my model and use it often. It has held up well. I do hand wash it as directed.

A french Oven is normally enamelled but a dutch oven is normally not enamelled.French ovens are long lasting for slow cooking..Dutch ovens are an older cast iron design.There are now a number of French USA and Chinese companies making French Ovens

Yes! As with all cast iron, you can easily transfer all Le Creuset from stove to oven to make delicious dishes. I love my collection. Take good care of them and they will last you forever.

this set has no teflon... I own these items. All the cast iron item from Le Creuset are not teflon... the steel fry pans that state non-stick might be teflon.

Yes! Be careful, as the heat in the pot is almost instantaneous. Induction activates the ferrous molecules in the cookware, the pot gets hot immediately. Low heat, in Le Creuset, and induction, is best. In my experience, a higher temp is achieved very quickly, losing that gained heat happens much slower. I use my induction top's temp set feature to keep temps low low, like 150F, or lower, for slow slow.

Hi I use a black speckled enamel pot used by other solar ovens and it wors well. Am going to try cast iron. Think it will take a while longer to reach max heat.

I have this Dutch Oven and a similar Le Creuset. On gas ranges I prefer cast iron. For electric ranges I prefer this one in stainless. I'm buying another because I'm now cooking on electric and I'm no longer seeing them at Marshals. Just the inferior ones with welded on bottoms. Cast iron takes too long to heat on electric.

It only has a couple recipes in it. I searched the internet for free countertop convection oven recipes and purchased two books from Amazon that I like and they have a lot of receipes in them. Cookng With Convection by Beatrce A. Ojakangas and The Best Convection Oven Cookbook by Linda Stephen. I hope this helps you, Darlene

I have not used it in the oven, but the information for Le Creuset cast iron cookware says it's safe to use in the oven. No max temp is given.

Practice and oil. Do not expect stainless steel cookware cook easily like nonstick . I can make good omelette, maybe 80% of time only. Have not tried crepes yet.

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.

I am sorry to read about the problems other buyers are having with the cracking of these pots. I've now been using mine since 2007 or so and it's as solid as ever - and I use it often - on the stove more often than in the oven. I wonder what type of stove others are using - mine is a glass top (electric) - perhaps the pots don't stand up to gas stoves like they should? Just a thought. At any rate, the seller should stand behind what they sell and that is disappointing.

I have never made this recipe, however I went on line, reviewed the recipe and noticed it calls for the oven to be preheated to 450 degrees. This pot is not recommended for temperatures higher than 350 degrees. Might I suggest you look into purchasing a cast iron or cast aluminum 6 quart covered Dutch oven.
