Picked up a new Foodsaver vac sealer and a 6qt Lodge enameled dutch oven this morning at the PX.

They'll both get regular use.

What are your thoughts on the enameled dutch oven? I've seen them before. But never pulled the trigger.

6qt. I have a 6qt regular cast iron, love it.

Was thinking with this one, wouldn't have to worry as much about hurting seasoning.

Will let you know after i give it a run.

I just did a chuck roast in a red sauce in our Lodge. It cooks with a nice even heat and is pretty easy to clean. I know that from cleaning it, it gets used a lot in our kitchen.

I've been wanting the 6 qt enamel CI for doing sides and casseroles on the gasser. Being the tight ass that I am, I just haven't popped yet.
I bought a 3 qt corning ware w/ lid for $5 at the thrift store and it us doing great, exactly what I wanted for the two of us. I don't worry about getting it all smoked up on the grill. But, I can't do direct heat with it, and that would be nice.

I bought a enameled Dutch oven from sears as they closed down for $32 , I love it no worry about seasoning it as stews and such ruin that and you have to redo, If I could afford it all mine would be enameled ,I don't see the need for a plain jane 1 unless its for making breads , most of my cooks always involved wet ingredients and I cant keep it seasoned like my skillets

We bought an enabled CI Dutch Oven many years ago. It is a work horse around the kitchen. Although not what we have brand wise, WOOT has this sale going on:

If i like it, I'll probably part with the 6qt cast iron.

I have the Lodge 6 quart non-enameled. Love it. But I was thinking about the enameled version to avoid reseasoning. Though that really isn't a problem because it has been seasoned soo many times hardly anything sticks to it.

We have a hot plate for our 8 quart so it doubles as a serving vessel.
Love it.
