What size?

>>11668794
Try to shove it into your ass.

>>11668796
5.5 QT

>>11668800
Oh, well in that case try sticking it up your anus.

>>11668800
You can bake breads in it. Most "artisan-type" bread recipes call for a Dutch oven to simulate the very hot yet humid oven that bakers use.

>>11668800
maybe trying shoving it up yer bum

>>11668794
You need to protect that thing before you use it. Put a burner on high heat and get your dutch oven nice and hot so the pores in the enamel open up.
Then you can rub it down with oil.

>>11668794
They're unitaskers. Re-gift it to someone else

>>11668821
He should re-gift it to his ass.

make stews

I've been using cabbage in a bunch of stuff I make lately but you can basically just throw any browned meat plus whatever else and make a meal in those

LOL WHAT IS THIS? CASSEROLE DISH? BITCH

>>11668794
>I literally have no idea what to do with a LARGE LIDDED POT

>>11668794
is this a cast iron?

>>11668849
No, it's made of unicorn teeth

marco pierre white has a few videos online where he uses/shills crockpots

>>11668794
Keep it on your bedside table so you can use it to clobber intruders who wake you at night.

>>11668794
Make Boeuf bourguignon. I unironically recommend trying couscous with it as an alternative to potatoes or pasta. Goes pretty good together.

make some carbonnade a la flammande
aka
Stoofvlees

beef stew with belgian brown ale, a little vinegar, sugar, and fruit jam. serve it over french fries.

>>11668794
A dutch oven? Anon, gtfo

Make a turkey with it heh

>>11668820
no, never use high heat on it.

>>11668794
french onioned soup
>stews
>curries
>stuff like this

>>11668926
And spices bread you fucking mongoloid

>>11668978
Took this long for somebody to post this and I'm really upset

>>11668800
Bouef Bourginon, Coq au Vin, any kind of stew or soup

>>11668794
Insert it into your urethra

>>11668820
You fucking serious

>>11668794
You have been given a dutch oven made of enameled cast iron.
The heavy lid is useful for keeping moisture inside. That makes it good for braising and baking. Low and slow is what it's best at.
But you can make almost anything else in it that you would in a normal pot. Stews, soups, casseroles, you name it. EXCEPT the enamel cannot take very high heat, so do not use it for deep-frying. And the enamel can get scratched off if you attack it with metal utensils. But with reasonable care it should last you a very long time.

>>11668820
Fucking kill yourself

>>11668820
no, do not do this.

>>11668821
>unitasker
>a fucking pot
Pfft your cookware ONLY cooks? Mine sucks cock and washes itself afterward, and on Sundays it fetches the paper.
Dumb faggot.

>>11668794

Slow cooking meats. Don't touch it with metal anything - it'll scratch and then chip faster than you can say give it back jamal.

>>11668794
Try cooking in it

I have the exact same 5.5QT and it's pretty much my favorite thing in my kitchen.

I've made plenty of soups, chilis, and risotto in there.

favorite so far is my french onion soup and gumbo.

>>11668794
Insert into your anal cavity

>>11668794
If you didn't get a gift receipt, re-gift it.

>>11668794
Try stuffing it up your doo doo hole.

>>11668794
I also got one years ago for Christmas, a Le Creuset. I was shocked because those fuckers are expensive. I barely use it. It weighs like 20 lbs.

I have that exact dutch oven. I use it for soups, stews, braises, stock, bread, and caramelizing shitloads of onions.

>>11668794
put in pooper

>>11668794
That fucker is bad ass. Make beef stew in that bitch. Or better yet. Make your bitch make beef stew in that fucker. Put on stove top- sear the flour dredged beef chunks. Fry the onions/garlic with an anchovy. De-glaze with some wine and beef stock. Put the lid on and put the fucker in the oven on 350 for a while. That shit will be goooood.

>>11668794
i'm always worried i'm going to get my thumb stuck in the handle and drop it and break my thumb
so try that i guess

>>11668794
bruh

Stew, pulled pork, chicken. You can do a lot with it. I’d love one but I have to use other stuff instead but the recipes still turn out great.

>>11670361

he should re-gift it up his own ass

Boil ayahuasca for 24 hours then shove it for your ass

Thanks, anon. Brought a smile to my face

you can cook a chicken breast in it without drying it out
350 for 23 mins, lid on
will be quite juicy

>>11674959
You can cook a chicken breast with anything and have it not dry out. All you need to do is not overcook it. You don't need a meme pot for that, you just need to not cook it too long.

>>11674962
Eh - if you're going to cook it in an oven you want something that's closed or it's going to dry out. You're right that it can be almost anything - as long as it's closed it will work (hell, just a parchment paper "bag" will work). I never said OP should go and buy a dutch oven to cook chicken, OP asked what to do with the dutch oven he already has. I have him a use for it.

>>11674975
>something that's closed or it's going to dry out
No, you really just have to not overcook it. It really is that simple. Use a thermometer if you don't have enough experience to go by feel yet.

Though I do agree that the oven is a silly method to cook chicken breast. Doing it in a pan is much faster, uses less energy, and makes it easier to get a nice sear on your chicken for flavor.

>>OP asked what to do with the dutch oven he already has. I have him a use for it.
Fair enough, it just seems like a kind of silly choice of uses. Dutch ovens are best for braises. Choosing one to cook a chicken breast is disadvantageous.

>>11668794
2 pounds of roughly cut onions
2 pounds of cheap beef
1 bottle of dark beer (pic related)
Some tyme

Melasses or brown sugar

>I don't have the faintest idea what to do with one of the most useful and versatile types of pots in existence
breh

>>11668794
Stick peice of meat side, add bbq sauce and veggies, put in oven for 2 weeks, eat said meat once it can be pulled apart

Aka pulled meat

>>11668800
>5.5 QT
what the fuck is that in real measurements. how many litres is a ""QT""?

>>11675440
If only everybody was a click away from convenient unit converters

>>11675440
quart = freedom version of "litre" [sic]

>>11675440
A quart and a liter are very nearly identical. I thought you had good schools over there? Did they not teach you even that much?

>>11668820
Mustard gas posting is against the rules

>>11675464
they didn't teach us about third world measurements. sorry.

>quart is roughly identicle to litre
thanx! (i looked it up too)

>Dutch Oven
if it's enameled it's a french oven. dutch ovens are raw cast iron. just so you know.

>>11668794
Cook food in it OP. They work well for that.

>>11675482
we changed it after France bitched out same thing with freedom fries

>>11668794
Same here, made soup with mine for the first time and it did the job well

>>11668794
Wear it on your head to protect yourself from evil space alien waves.

>>11668794
Looks like a dutch oven, I would assume you do dutch oven things with it and it can go in the oven also.

lube it up and sit on it until it slides up your ass.

>>11676736
>dutch oven things
fart in it op

>>11674959
i do 450 for 17 minutes

>>11674975
no, staying moist and tender has more to dow ith not overcooking and not whether it is cooked in a closed containor or not....

>>11668794
It's a pot how do you not know how to use a pot?

>>11668794
i got one of those too.

i already have a smaller staub one too. they can be very good for making pilafs.

>>11668794
Don't try and take it out of the cupboard with one hand as the lid will fall off. The lid will be fine but you'll have holes in your kitchen floor

>>11675409
the layout of that recipe gave me AIDS

>>11668794
Make bread in it.

Easy starting point and cheap ways to get good bread.

I asked for one of these, but I got a Nintendo switch instead.

What a strange world

>>11678590
dude theyre like $30 just buy one

>>11668807
do you know any good recipes?

why can't you deep fry in it? the oil only needs to get to 350 degrees and the pot is supposd to be oven safe up to 500.

>>11679734
who said you can't?

Make bread in it. I'm actually doing so right now and will post results later if I remember to do so

1) Boston baked beans
2) Yankee pot roast

How do you guys clean the stain out of the inside?
>bleach water soak?
>bar keepers friend?
>baking soda and dishsoap?
what actually works and doesn't wreck the enamel?

>>11680663
coarse salt and a scrub pad

Deep fry some fried chicken

>>11668794
I always make my butter chicken in a dutch oven

>>11682003

>>11670329
Pics of your 5'5" QT?

>>11683562
