In the last week, Iâve probably dirtied up my dutch oven over ten times. From bakes to sauces to braising short ribs, my forest green Le Creuset gets used and abused on the dailyâbut after a quick soak, the meals of the past wipe away with ease. The dutch oven is a kitchen essential that I think gets put on the back burner all too often (see what I did there). It can be used for anything, though many people steer away from lugging the heavy dish out of cabinets onto the stove. I keep mine clean and on the front burner, ready for action at any time. Investing in a good dutch oven is like finding a nice vase or the perfect centerpiece for a table, it can sit on the stove whether or not itâs being used, and adds a unique pop of color to any kitchen.
