A reader asked me a question about whether a stock pot vs Dutch oven offered the best solution for her needs. In this post, I will answer question and then give you some more detail of what characteristics they offer and what you should think about when deciding between a stock pot and a Dutch oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I currently have a stock pot that I use quite frequently to make stock, as well as do other tasks in it. I also use it to braise meats, soups, stews and also some Indian dishes<\/a>. The stock pot has served me well but it is coming to the end of its life, it is in poor condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m looking at a pot that can do most things well with importance placed on stocks and braises. I\u2019m very used to a stock pot with its taller sides but I understand that I could get better results on braises and stews in a Dutch oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The sides of Dutch ovens aren\u2019t that tall so I\u2019m a little concerned whether it will be suitable for cooking stocks. I am also a little worried about the capacity of Dutch ovens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Can you let me know what whether a stock pot versus Dutch oven offers the best solution given my cooking style and quantity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amy, Wisconsin<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
