This is the workhorse your kitchen needs for everything from slow-braised stews to crusty sourdough. The heavy-duty enamel coating makes cleanup surprisingly painless, though you sacrifice the lightweight handling of modern non-stick pans for the superior, even heat retention that only cast iron can provide.
