Quart Dutch Oven
Can I cook small portions in a large dutch oven?
My mom gave me this huge 5 quart Le Creuset enamelled cocotte, will I ruin it if I cook small bits?
I live alone.
LUCKY YOU.. I am Jealous! No you won't ruin it, but your food will cook much quicker than you may want it too. There are only three of us in my house hold, and I use my dutch oven to make meals that I want to have one night, and then freeze left overs in for the nights we don't have time to cook. I would suggest that you try some good slow cook recipes but cut the proportions in half and keep your eye on the cooking time and temp. And just make sure you keep enough liquid (wine, broth, water or juice) extra to keep whatever you are cooking moist. Good Luck and Happy Cooking
