The Best Dutch Oven

A Dutch oven is a kitchen workhorse—it’s the one pot that can turn out savory soups and stews, braise meats until they’re fall-apart tender, and also bake crusty bread. A good Dutch oven will last for years, and it doesn’t have to cost a fortune. After spending hours searing, braising, steaming, and sautéing, we think the Lodge 6-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven cooks just as well as more expensive pots. With design details like roomy handles and a wide cooking area, it stands out from the other ovens we tested.

The best Dutch oven
This inexpensive Dutch oven aced every test, and its design rivals that of pricier models.
We recommend
Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast-Iron 5½-Quart Round French Oven, made to last

Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast-Iron 5½-Quart Round French Oven

Made to last
Some cooks may want to invest in this exceptionally durable, high-quality pot. It doesn’t cook much better than the Lodge, and it costs far more, but Le Creuset’s oven is the kind of piece people pass down to their kids.
