I love the All-Clad they send me emails when their prices are on sale
Soooo these are just large pots. Disappointing
Since i started using the pot from my Instant Pot on the stovetop, my heavy enamel dutch oven collects dust. It sears great and retains heat just fine.

I have a few Dutch ovens. One I inherited from my grandmother, enameled outside, stainless interior. My other favorite is my Cast Iron Dutch Oven I found at a second hand store w/Lid. Then there is the one that came with my Waterless Cookware Set I bought back in 1975… which I still own today!!! Guess it really was a great investment almost 50 yrs ago!!!
Why on a test of lite weight Dutch ovens do they have Staub Dutch ovens up there. They heavier than Le Creuset.
Great vid folks!
I’m glad to know about the lighter Wt cooking pots. I can’t lift the heavier cast iron ones. I’m 81. Tks for the info. J Thomad
Just wondering why you guys didn’t include any of the enamel coated carbon steel Dutch ovens? Like the ones from BK Black steel.
the role of the mask is good,
So is the only reason to use one of these is that they're easier to lift? I'm not mocking anyone where that could be problematic but I don't really see a need for me who has a cast iron enameled dutch oven and a stainless stockpot with a pasta insert. I guess i could see if you were routinely cooking down chicken stock more than once a week so you might need the extra job specific cookware.
It’s tough to tell but it doesn’t seem to me you included enameled carbon steel. Were those included and just fell short? I thought they were good for bread
I think it’s safe to say LeCreuset and All-Clad are always top picks an Tramontina is always a Best Buy?
geez i JUST got done making payments on my le creuset! Don't tell me to buy another!
I love your equipment corner videos and I respect Adam’s judgement! I especially appreciate this video! I just placed an order on Amazon for the Tramontina 6-quart tri-ply clad stainless steel covered stock pot for only $65.98 that is almost 50% less than stated in your video! 🙂

This is one of my favourite channels. Not sure what the deal is with the black and white clips but it really isn’t enjoyable for me. Just some feedback. Everything else is great, as usual.

Good review. Occasionally I think about getting a new Dutch oven, but then I use the hand-me-down I got from my mom. Its a 6 qt Arist-O-Craft stainless steel Dutch oven from the early 1960's and its been perfect. It's been great for things like soups and stews, chili, things like that.
I use a Mauviel pot as a lighter version to my le creuset cast iron pot
I use my Demeyere Atlantis pots for everything. The heavy base with the thick copper core heats so evenly, it's an absolute dream for searing before cooking or braising. Stainless steel also can never chip, and will basically last forever
I have a different version of the All Clad and love it. It was a factory second that I got years ago. It is a copper core. My wife had a Club aluminum dutch oven that he loves but it sucks. The handles are integral with the pot and they get scorching hot.
Having a heavy bottom and a heavy lid are the key features that make a dutch oven a joy to cook with. Wouldn't "lightweight" defeat the purpose?
I will never give up my heavyweight Dutch Oven! ❤🤣
I have the 30 year old version of the All Clad Dutch oven. It is amazing and still looks like new, but the best part is that back in 1993 it came in a 7 piece set that cost $150.
I'm not giving up my cast iron. There, I feel better. 😁👍🌤🍷
Could you pencil in a review of cast aluminum cookware? I have a 3 (or 4?) qt pot my mum got in the 30’s. I’m 82 and remember mashing potatoes in it when I was a teen. It’s had it’s lid knob and handle (both wooden) replaced twice. Mum referred to it as "hammered aluminum ". It’s heavy, not pretty, but is practically non stick! Don’t know if they are even made of late. Thanks in advance for your consideration . 👵🏻 🤗
Hi ATK 😋
Take care
Love my enamel cast iron dutch oven that I bought years ago in Mexico for $15.00. works great and has lasted.
I went with a Demeyere Industry 5qt. Stewpot. I prefer a heavy-bottomed pot (after having trouble with the lighter-weight pots and sticking). Bought at an amazing price. Yes, it takes a little longer to heat up but works like a charm. Note: having to do with nothing about this post: could you please update the review on the best sauciers (FYI: there is no longer an All-Clad D3 3qt. There is a D5. Looks like last review was 2016?).
