Well Dutch oven cooking or slow cooking like that in the oven, isn't my natural instinctual style of cooking. We use our oven for: baking my homemade of focaccia/pizzas with multiple variant toppings; roasting certain root veggies, occasional quiche-like flans and stuffed phyllo roll. We don't roast meat because we prefer not eat/prepare such a large amount of meat...for only 2 people. Anyway we only eat certain meats.
There are some Asian dishes that use clay pot but I've never tried them yet and haven't figured out if stovetop or oven-based.
For the actual cooking process, I just prefer the speed of the stove top dishes that we do..except of course for soups. We seldom have stewed nor braised entree dishes nor do we ever make casseroles. Neither he nor I grew up on casserole dishes so we haven't moved forward in life.![]()
So we have too many casserole ceramic dishes as gifts.![]()
