The holidays are all about family get togethers and some good food! We can all agree that this time of year we allow ourselves some leeway when it comes to enjoying our favorite foods and home cooking takes the lead. Having the proper tools in the kitchen is a must, especially if you host annual holiday dinners, like myself. This is the time of year I always wish I had one more casserole, one more pot, or a whisk that isn’t completely bent from being pushed inside a drawer! You have a few weeks, so now is the time to take inventory and stock up on some essentials!
A new pots and pans set is at the top of my holiday wish list this season. I prefer pots that can easily transfer from stovetop to oven, without plastic or rubber pieces that may melt. This is especially important when making braised meat or similar dishes. The Calphalon Contemporary Stainless 8 quart Dutch Oven is my new kitchen favorite. It is the perfect size for anything from pasta to soup, and everything else in between. I love the versatility, durability, and quality of Calphalon products. My favorite feature is the shape of this Dutch Oven. Without being overly bulky or too tall, the width makes it easy to stir and access the contents of the pot, as opposed to a taller, more narrow 8 quart pot.
The handles on the Calphalon Contemporary Dutch Oven stay cool to the touch, so you don’t have to worry about burning yourself when you pick up the lid or touch the handles. Not all of my pots are dishwasher safe, but this one is, which gives it some extra points in my book. Priced at $99, this Dutch Oven is a great value and will be a staple in your kitchen. The best part? Calphalon stands behind their products so you receive a lifetime warranty on your cookware.
Don’t get caught without the necessary tools to cook a perfect holiday meal this season! Head to Calphalon and take advantage of their package deals, competitive pricing, and lifetime warranty.
I love this Dutch oven. I have always wanted one of these kinds of pans. It’s nice that Calphalon offers a lifetime warranty.
