I was thinking of something completely different when you said "Dutch oven." Thanks for the laugh.
 
It's pretty pricey, but that's the real deal for making casserole meals in the oven. Cast iron holds the heat well and a well-fitting concave lid directs condensate right back to the meal. If the lid for that Dutch oven fits a cast-iron skillet or frying pan (even if it doesn't cover the pouring spots of said frying pan) you have gotten extra versatility out of this combo. My wife and I have a Dutch oven with a 12" lid, a 12" skillet, and a 12" frying pan, and they are our most cherished cooking tools.

Being funny by accident is not funny, unless the accident was funny but i did not have an accident i was being earnest, any way up, what other meaning can Duch oven have?
Head scratch.
 
Lodge makes a very good Dutch oven. I've had mine for well over 20 years, its seasoned to perfection. Yes, you should buy it.
