Dutch ovens

i really wanted a le creuset but my bank account says no lol. i got one from target, the brand is hearth and home i think ? something like that

Hearth and home is decent! That’s my first it definitely wears kinda quickly Lodge has a cast iron. You’ll never need to replace!

@Mic would you happen to know which is better the enameled cast iron or the regular cast iron

Lodge!

Any cast iron. Enameled is fine. Even the home brand ones will last a lifetime. I have Staub, I don’t like the look of Le Cruset even though it’s more popular I like the modern look of Staub. Find one you like the look and color of and just get it Xx I use it for soups and pastas and to slow cook. As for bread I’ve only made focaccia and pizza bread I haven’t attempted sourdough (I should, we buy it once a week 😂)

@Sabrina I don’t think you can wrong with either ! I use both but personally like regular cast iron. Especially with bread you’ll always have either a sling or parchment paper under it so no worry about sticking!

Thank you ladies! I got my Dutch oven today and made my first loft of sourdough bread 😇
