Came across a great pot roast recipe from Cooks Illustrated. but I do not own a dutch oven. Do I need one? And what is a popular size for 2 adults and 1 toddler? I am thinking 6 qt is just too big. What are some recipes that you must use a Dutch Oven for? My pot set has thick bottoms and glass lids, which probably don‘t go in the oven.Also, Ceramic bakeware. Do I need some? I have 3 glass baking 9x13 dishes, and 3 glass pie plates. Wondering why I have no ceramic? What are some recipes that you must use ceramic for? I am thinking glazed ceramic, not porous. But feel free to give opinion on porous bakeware.
A metal pot and glass lid should work in your oven. Check manufacturer's specs for your item. Dutch oven just means heavy closed pot for slow-cooking. Could probably make the dish in a crock-pot or slow-cooker, as well. You don't need to buy ceramic bake-ware. In 30 years of cooking and raising a family, I never had a ceramic oven dish--except for my crock-pot. Heavy Creuset pots are sooooo expensive. And hard to clean. Here's a story for you. A woman wanted to make a roast for dinner, just like her mother used to make, so she called her for the recipe. Mom said: you take the roast and cut 3 inches off the end, set that aside for something else, and then add your onions, etc She followed her mom's instructions, and the dinner came out great. But she called her mother back and asked her why she had to cut off the end. Her mother said because that's what my mother always did. So they both decided to call Grandma, and ask her why. Grandma's answer was: Because your father and I were so poor when we were first married, I didn't have a pan big enough to hold a roast. Make do. Use it up. Or do without.
The bloody engine, of course. Idiot!
That's an odd question. The primary shaft.
but I do not own a dutch oven. Do I need one? MAYBE, BUT A CROCK POT WILL TAKE ITS PLACE. And what is a popular size for 2 adults and 1 toddler? THE GLASS PROLLY DOES NOT GO IN THE OVEN. GET THE BIGGEST ONE YOU CAN AFFORD. YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE THE WHOLE THING BUT AS YOUR FAMILY GROWS YOU'LL BE GLAD TO HAVE A BIG ONE. Also, Ceramic bakeware. Do I need some? NOT SINCE YOU HAVE GLASS. I have 3 glass baking 9x13 dishes, and 3 glass pie plates. Wondering why I have no ceramic? BE SURE TO LOWER YOUR OVEN TEMP BY 25?f WHEN BAKIGN IN GLASS/PYREX SO THE FOOD DOESN'T BURN. What are some recipes that you must use ceramic for? CASSEROLES, SERVING DISHES (LIKE FOR GRILLED FOOD, CORN ON THE COB, ETC)I am thinking glazed ceramic, not porous. But feel free to give opinion on porous bakeware. ACTUALLY, THE POROUS PIZZA STONE OR DEEP DISH BAKER WOULD BE VERY HANDY TO HAVE. THEY DO AN EXCELLENT JOB OF BROWNING AND LOOK VERY HOMEY AND EARTHY TO ME. BUT SINCE YOU HAVE 3 GLASS BAKERS, JUST A BIG ROUND PIZZA STONE SHOUDL DO NICELY. GREAT TO REHEAT LEFTOVERS, ESP. FRIED FOODS, AND BAKE BISCUITS AND ROLLS ON (NOT TO MENTION PIZZA!)
