“I think food just tastes better cooked in cast iron pan. The reason I chose this Dutch Oven was the versatile lid that also doubles as a skillet.”
“I use this 'upside down' for baking boules of bread. I put the bread in the lid and cover it with the deep base. This allows me to not have to reach down into a dutch oven to place my dough or retrieve it. Aside from that, it's classic Lodge quality cast iron.”
