I'm so excited...


Rachael Ray has just walked into my life in the form of a 7 qt. round dutch oven. Enamelled cast iron.

The thing probably weighs at least 10 pounds empty. But I'm in love.... I can't decide what to cook first, so send me your ideas via comments!

Edited to Add: This pot is available from Amazon.com. I used rewards points to buy it, but I think it costs around $100. You can get enamelled cast iron for less, though - probably $40-$60.

I think I am going to do some kinda browning/braising dish - maybe a beef stew - first. :)

  1. Roast? Stew? Lentils? Fish w/ sweet potatoes? A whole chicken with veggies? I'm jealous!!

  2. Definitely some kind of a red meat dish. My hubby is a meatatarian. "It's not a meal if there's no meat!" :P I was perfectly fine with our pumpkin ravioli last night, but had to make some honey garlic sausage to go with it so there would be MEAT. Good thing I did, turned out he doesn't like pumpkin ravioli, which is classed as "froufy" food.
