The usual thing is sometimes what always works and this is the case of the utensil that concerns us today, the cast iron pots now better known as cocottes (pot in French) or also, Dutch oven, thanks to firms that have put it back at the top of the wishlist of kitchens such as Le Creuset.
The success of this type of pans It is based on the fact that its design, elaborated in the traditional way, resists the passage of time, that is why, although it is an important investment, it is worth it if your grandchildren will inherit it; Furthermore, they are perfect for preparing traditional stews as they resist high temperatures and distribute heat evenly.
In Amazon we can find several examples of this type of pot not only from the popular French brand that we mentioned before, but also from others such as Staub, also very well known in this field; These are some of our favorites:
