I’ve bought a new pot, red, beautiful and enameled. The old one I used to have was cracked. And my two cast Iron pots are not enameled.
So I ended up cleaning that cupboard & sorting pots and pans (not really what I planned to do today). And I have loads. Some from the bottom and back are really dirty & need a thorough clean.
I will have to decide which should go for keeping in the basement. For a single person the amount is ridicules & I’ve not even got to the lids on the top shelf 😱

    It really will do just about anything well. I used to prep stews in a bonafide slow cooker, but I find I get a better result from my enameled pot, slow cooker probably wins out on the energy bill though.

        I made a lot of sourdough in my old enameled Dutch oven. I will say that preheating it like you should is not good for it. At least my original cheap Dutch oven has been chipping and losing some enamel. I’m not sure if my more high quality Dutch oven (Staub) would also be losing enamel in the same conditions, but I don’t want try
