I really need a dutch oven for all kinds of things. But what size? I'm leaning towards the 6 quart as a reasonable size for a two person household. But do I need more than one? Decisions, decisions.
It is totally true - you buy that knob and slap it on there and no one would know you didn't drop $500 on your pots! It's like sewing little alligators on all your polo shirts.
Heh, people buy it because on a lot of these, the original knob only goes up to a certain temperature, meaning you can't use the lid in the oven. The steel one is good for as much heat as the pot can take :)
6 quart is a good size. I have an eight quart All Clad stock pot that can go in the oven, except it's almost too big for that. I have a six quart Le Creuset dutch oven and a three quart. I never use the three quart. Partly because our last apartment had a ceramic stove top and we couldn't use those pots there.
