Enameled cast iron Casserole

[cleanshaved]

you have a lifetime set there, I am sure over time they will get good use.
I looked a Stubbs but the price was the highest here of all the pots. That set would have cost a few thousand dollars here.

I need to try this no knead bread.

 

[DoctorShavegood]

It is Staub, yes. My fiancé is a bit of an overachiever. He feels if one is good then 10 pieces must be better.

I love using the cocettes for baking no-knead bread. Yum.

I don't cook in them enough. I just lack the time and have a picky man to feed. :-(

Hey Eperdu(don't know your first name) fire one of those beautiful enamel coated pots up. Maybe some chili for starters.

I only had a couple of Guinness last night so good to go today. Prime Steer Shortribs are now in the oven.
Do I need a bigger pot

 

[DoctorShavegood]

They don't make a bigger pot. You are good to go bud. My mouth is somewhat watery.

My mouth is full of Guinness.

Yeah I know this is a big as it gets. They may fit better in the pot if I cut them down a bit but I don't have a meat saw and I like the man size piece.
I have seven more whole Shortribs, so the BBQ is calling for a go at these.

I used Guinness for these but any stout will do. I almost got a NZ stout made with Oysters......intriguing
I think that will be a must for the next one in the pot.

Glad I had a big pot for this. It was the right width but still have not made use of the height. I think this pot fully loaded would be very heavy.

I received my Le Chasseur Round Casserole 30cm in Inferno Red today.
It's the wrong time of the year here to get the most out of it but got it now as the price was right.
I think it was worth the wait to save some money in the out of season sales.

 

[DoctorShavegood]

Beautiful Chris. Ah, now the next question is????? It never ends....

I suggest paella. Yip, it's Out of your comfort zone. Full of seafood and perfect for the pot. You better look that one up.

 

[cleanshaved]

yip I have thought of paella and that sounds great.
I have also been thinking of some big Porks chops in a apple sauce, cottage pie, chicken thighs or drum sticks, maybe a lemon chicken. Devilled sausages. Fish, we have some Snapper in the freezer.

I think summer time is on in NZ you can use your cast iron on the bbq. No heat in the house.

yes it's our summer here. Using the BBQ sounds a good idea for a low a slow cook without cooking the house as well. I'll give that a go.
This time of year I prefer lighter meals, so it would still probally get more use in the cooler months.

I got a 6.5qt for Christmas! First thing I made was short ribs in a marsala wine sauce to go over tortellini. It's delicious!

Well, you broke that dude in. Chris, it looks marvelous.

 

[cleanshaved]

Arrived home to find that the Misses had cooked some lamb shanks in the new pan.
Good to see that see has taken a liking to the pan as well.

 

[DoctorShavegood]

There's nothing left in the pan for you to eat.

Nah just a poor photo, two shanks and the sauce was ample.
I'm thinking Pork Chops are next for the pot sitting on top of some thinly slice potato and a sauce.

 

[cleanshaved]

still have not done the Pork Chops.
Today was a Cottage Pie.

 

[DoctorShavegood]

Oh Chris, please help me...that looks like so much comfort food. By comparison I had water and a bowl of air tonight.

One more for flat red...........Pork Chops on sliced potato, with onion, mushroom soup, milk, salt and pepper.
