One of the primary functions of a cast iron round dutch oven is braising. By slowly cooking meats or vegetables in liquid over low heat, the Dutch oven tenderizes tough cuts of meat and infuses dishes with rich, complex flavors. Whether simmering a hearty beef stew or braising a succulent chicken in wine, the black cast iron dutch oven excels at transforming humble ingredients into culinary masterpieces.
