New kitchen toy

I've been eyeing an enameled cast iron Dutch oven for many months. Finally found one I liked and was willing to pay the price ($50 - the Le Creusets are like $300) for on Amazon's spring sale, an Overmont 7 quart. Going to try it out tonight with an Italian recipe I've always wanted to try, pork braised in milk.

I've always thought they were pretty but don't see how they're any more useful than my nonstick soup pot. I could imagine buying one for a dinner party if it was for a dish going directly from the oven to the center of the table.

I have a stainless steel one, but the sides slope inward from top to bottom, making it narrower at the bottom with less browning space. I wanted something bigger.

We use ours multiple times a weeks. We started out using it only for Indian food, but it’s great for braising meat too.
I’ll often brown a piece of chuck then put it in the oven for low and slow.
I have a cheap one, not le creuset or staub. My first one lasted about five years before it chipped. Bought another cheap one. If it chips again I’ll get a premium one.

Please let me know how it works. My wife keeps stealing my Lodge, which is meant for outdoor cooking…
