Show Cooker vs Dutch Oven
-
Funny, I never knew what a Dutch oven was until now - I'd heard the term used, but never realised it was what the Brits call a casserole dish.

Dutch oven has other definitions.

Found in a lot of Louisiana kitchens. Not quite a dutch oven, but we do use it for one.

Our dutch oven is 2nd only to the frying pan in usage.
For slow cooking we put it in the oven. I don't see any reason why it would be superior to a slow cooker for that - but what is better is that you can sear the meat (it's enameled cast iron) then braise in the same dish. I do that often.

I’d call it one. Mine is stainless and does a great job. That one looks to be aluminum.

I had a Le Creuset grill pan. Hated it. Never been impressed with expensive cookware.
We have 3 Le Creuset pieces. A frying pan, a saucepan, and a Dutch Oven. I love them all. Just bought a new Lodge cast iron skillet. Love it too. I'm a cast iron convert.

If you want a good skillet, but want something lighter than the Lodge:

Magnalite.
And the debate rages...The old Magnalite is better than any of the new stuff, be it branded Magnalite or something that looks like it.
