5.5 Quart Dutch Oven

A dutch oven is a cast-iron pot with a lid that traps in the heat and keeps your food moist. It's great for cooking stews, soups, and other dishes that require a lot of liquid. The shape of the dutch oven allows you to easily stir the contents without disturbing the crusty layer of flavorful browned butter at the bottom of the pot.
