Experienced cooks like chef Mario Batali know that a cast iron dutch oven is extremely versatile. It's perfect for slow simmering (such as stews and slow roasting), and it also handles high heat for frying and searing. This enamel-coated dutch oven allows for even distribution of heat without hot spots and also provides excellent heat retention. Its secure-fitting lid ensures continuous natural basting to keep foods moist.
