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

No it is not the same coating as the Le Creuset Dutch ovens. The dutch oven is a bit slicker coating. This is a a little rougher coating.

I had a less expensive enameled dutch oven before this one. The enemel had a tendency to chip very easily. So far no chips in this one and it tends to cook more evenly on the cook top. Is it worth the price....yes, if you use a dutch oven often as I do.

A stockpot is the same thing as a dutch oven, the pot is just called by different names depending on the manufacturer. Both come in different sizes, from about 4 quarts to 8 quarts ... Enjoy the Scanpan. I use both Scanpan and Swiss Diamond. They are both the very top of the line for "nonstick" cookware. And yes, there is a caveat there. lol

I own all three brands. All-Clad is my favorite...with exception to Le Creuset's dutch oven...my other favorite pot.

The modern aluminum Dutch ovens are more often used for stovetop use only. The reason is because aluminum does not hold the heat as well as cast iron. You can still place them in the oven, but you will need to check them more often to make sure your food is cooking to the right consistency.Most dutch ovens are aluminum and though they can cook in an oven they are really made for the stove top. The cast iron utensils work much better in oven and distributing the heat more evenly, resulting in a moister dish and less chance of burning.

Le Creuset is a French company which is why I imagine they call it a French oven-why call it a Dutch oven when it is made in France? It is the same concept, the same thing. These are cast iron, very heavy and well made and will last for generations if well cared for, therefore, worth the money if you are a serious cook. Can be used on any cook surface, gas, electric, even induction, as well as in the oven. No so with some others. Your name is unusual.

The difference is the skin is a lot crispier compare to regular oven roasting. Your regular convection oven doesn't give off direct heat like the rotisserie.

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.

It is a tad bit bigger and weighs just a bit over half of what the Lodge cast iron dutch oven weighs.... I have arthritis in my hands and had to give up my cast iron cookware because it is too heavy for me. I love this Dutch oven!

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.

I don't know about "Dutch Ovens" ... I am using these gloves for my wood stove. I can put the wood into the stove at 800 degrees and can rearrange the wood etc comfortably.

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.

hihttp://www.all-clad.com/Pages/searchresults.aspx?k=dutch%20oven i found these 2 dutch ovens on the all clad website. the possible difference may be that one of them is copper core. but i'm not sure because i didn't see the #'s on the website's description.hope this helps.

Yes. I frequently make artisan bread in this dutch oven. It's also great to have the rounded top because you can brown meat in the top while cooking stew and such in the bottom.

There is no difference in using a convention feature than using a regular oven, it cooks faster. Let me know if this answers you question.
