Do you ever go to a kitchen store and see a tool or cookware that is prohibitively expensive? One such item is the dutch oven (insert jokes here), an essential dish for braising and roasting. The 5 qt Le Cruset dutch oven costs $240. Although this is a spectacular product, there are other options for less money that will serve your culinary needs.
One such item can be found at Cost Plus World Market (www.costplusworldmarket.com). For those of you who do not have a Cost Plus in your town, their items can also be ordered online and shipped to you directly.
Cost Plus offers a a 5 qt cast iron dutch oven for $59.99. I recently purchased this item and have been thoroughly impressed. In this instance, it does not seem that you pay for what you get and, although I have not cooked with the more expensive dutch oven, I couldn't imagine it being any different than its less expensive relative.
If you disagree or have any opinions on this matter, please let me know!
Enjoy!
