Time again for the kitchen tool of the day. The title may seem a bit misleading, because the items posted in these blog posts won't necessarily be a tool. Well in my mind a tool means some sort of gadget, but its going to be an item that I think every kitchen household should have in their arsenal, from knives to different bakeware and cookware. So for the sake of this weekly blog post a tool will mean anything that you will use in your kitchen.
Ok now that I got my mindless ramblings out of the way, now onto the Kitchen Tool of the week. This week its a Tramontina Cast Iron Dutch Oven. I've been wanting one of these for a very long time. There was one on sale around Christmas for $35 and my mother in law got it for me for my Christmas gift. This dutch oven is heavy duty and durable. They are great for soups, stews, roasts, braises, and basically anything that you want slow cooked. They are cast iron which means they are great conductors of heat and can also go from stove top to oven without any worries.
One of my favorite things about this pan is for browning purposes before I make a stew or roast. Since its such a great conductor of heat it gets meat very brown, and if you read my posts on my Beef Tips and gravy, you saw the goodies that are left in the bottom of the pan after you brown stuff. This is a huge flavor bonus. I know a lot of people love their CrockPots but that browning is something you won't get from a Crock Pot! This pan is definitely worth the investment!
thanks for this usefull article, waiting for this article like this again.
