Want to buy an oven

[john_smith]

Hello,
I want to buy a Dutch oven as I have a cast-iron already. But it is too heavy to handle. So, I wanted to know is there any difference between iron and aluminum.

Look alike but different animals, the cast will keep temps a lot more even due to the density of the material where as the aluminum will cool off and heat up quicker and I wouldn't expect them to cook a lot of difference but there will be some.

Check out the stainless steel DOs. A 9 quart can be had for $35-$50. They last forever. I have three, and two of them are more than 40 years old.
