My first dutch oven – not the top of the line Le Creuset, but it should be good enough for my entry level tryouts. My first try was rice cooking. OK, I know it wasn't exciting but I had to take baby steps first... My second try was a roast leg of lamb. It was pretty simple and yes, the lamb came out quite delicious. It worked! Wow! I will try seafood stew next. Stay tuned for photos of my finished product.
Cooking technique learned: there is a difference between dry roasting vs. dutch oven roasting. Dry roasting is done with high temperature; dutch oven roasting requires liquid and is with moderate heat.
