If you haven’t already, consider investing in quality enameled cast iron cookware like that which is available by Le Creuset. Not only do you get the benefits of cooking and baking with cast iron but these products are also dishwasher-safe. And while cast iron gets a bad rap for being heavy, Le Creuset products are the lightest cast iron by quart on the market. Dutch oven options are available in multiple colors and sizes from 2 quarts up to 13 ¼ quarts. The Le Creuset cast iron products are compatible with all cooktops and work well with induction cooktops due to the cast iron. The products are also oven-safe up to 500F. If you’re new to using cast iron cookware, I recommend starting your collection with a mid-sized Dutch Oven, between 4-5 quarts. The 4.5 quart Dutch Oven is a versatile size to use for soups, stews. Use your new Dutch oven to make this delicious recipe for Lentil-Vegetable Stew by Forks Over Knives.

Cooking and baking with cast iron dishes can provide an exceptional experience and produce delicious results. Here are five reasons you should use cast iron in your kitchen. First, cast iron is known for its sturdy and durable material. Second, cast iron provides a more even heat distribution (not hot/cold spots) and stays warm longer. Third, cast iron easily allows you to go from cooking to baking to serving using the same dish! Fourth, premium cast iron products are now dishwasher safe, making cleaning even easier after a meal. Lastly, cast iron can withstand high temperatures on a cooktop or in the oven, unlike most standard cookware made with aluminum.
Cheers!
