What Is a Dutch Oven and Why Every Kitchen Needs One

It retains heat exceptionally well, making it ideal for tender meats, rich gravies, and perfectly steamed biryani.Because everything happens in one pot, there's less washing up and more flavour — the kind of cooking that rewards a little patience and gives a lot back.
