    Talking I need recipes for my poor neglected Le Creuset french oven.....

    I have had this baby - and its gorgeous! Cherry Red for about 5 years .... DH used to work in a high end homewares store so my cupboards are full of this stuff!

    I just recently made a casserole twice in it which was yummmmmmyyy - starts on stove top and then into the oven but that was literally the first time I have used it in 5 years!

    Just wondering what great recipes I can do in there?? Would any slow cooker reciepes work or plain old casseroles? I haven't made casseroles much (obviously) so I have been looking up the recipes on taste dot com.

    TIA you cooking goddesses!

    Oooh, you can do anything! Casseroles, braises, potroasts, stews, curries of any description. If you are cooking covered in the oven on low heat then you can use sc recipes, as the liquid content will be similar. If in doubt, I just have the liquid level with the meat/veg content, you can always thicken/reduce the sauce if need be. (But I like lots of sauce so probably overdo it a bit).

    Soooo depressing that you've had it for 5 yrs and hardly used it! I've wanted one for about 10 yrs and still don't have one *sulk*
