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

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

I love using these enamelware pans in the oven but not on the stove top. The bottoms are too thin which of course, is an advantage in the oven but not on top of the burners. Use mine for stew and baked beans, scalloped potatoes, etc and then pop on the lid and store the leftovers in the refrigerator.

Dear TJ, the Le Creuset website states that one can use their cookware on a glass top stove. Great, isn't it? They just state the obvious, that you should lift the pot, while moving it on the stove top, not slide it. You know that it could scratch the glass, I'm sure. Cheers, Marsha

The inside of this dutch oven is enamel. Enamel is supposed to be pretty hard to scratch, but I choose to use non-metal utinsels with this cookware, just in case.

Yes, but as a general rule of thumb you don't want to use metal utensils in enameled cookware. Wood, plastic, and silicone are best.

I am used to these excellent pots since 30 years, while I lived in France. At the time they were very ordinary and cheap ones. Now they are expensive.French and Dutch oven seem to me marketing names for America, in France they are just Cocotte de chez le Creuset, see in Amazon.fr below, anyways the one that I bought as a present (my 30 year old one is still perfect) was much cheaper at Amazon than elsewhere. http://www.amazon.fr/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_10?__mk_fr_FR=%C3%85M%C3%85Z%C3%95%C3%91&u;rl=search-alias%3Dkitchen&field-keywords;=le%20creuset&sprefix;=le+creuset%2Caps%2C291 .

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.

The outside coating is a thick colored enameled coating. Very nice, that's what Le Creuset is known for. The inside has a black enameled finish that is similiar to a traditional cast iron skillet. It does take well to seasoning and will achieve a patina with regular use.

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 will work, but I would not place this in an enameled dutch oven, just for the simple reason of the danger of chipping the enamel! I only use bamboo utensils in my enameled oven and never a trivet, if I need a trivet I will use a regular Iron dutch oven....no enamel.

This book covers Le Creusets' line of enamel coated cast iron cookware. French/Dutch ovens to Tagines to Terrines. There are only 12 recipes in the Dutch oven chapter, though. The book is very nicely done, with attractive photos, too. If you are looking only for dutch oven recipes, perhaps another book would be best. However, this one does give insight to everything in their cast iron line. Hope this helped. Enjoy, Robert

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

You can go to this link http://www.wokshop.com/HTML/products/woks/wok-iron-enamel.html and it has one for your needs. You can also look at the other woks on their website. I hope this helps you out.

I haven't used it with a dutch oven, but it works well to spread the heat out, so it should work fine with the dutch oven, although a cast iron oven might not need it.

NO - You do NOT have to season ENAMELED Cast Iron. You should use a little cooking oils to cook with though.
