I'm veggie too but don't own one. With that said, many things you can make in a dutch oven you can just as easily make in a crock pot. I have a great cook book for veggie crock pot recipes I found on amazon.

Many call the Nesco Roasting ovens a 'dutch oven' read more here http://www.nesco.com/category_774b5b98e066/ I suspect since it's Grandma and she's saying this around the holidays that this very well could be what she's referring to. I have one myself in both the 6 quart and 18 quart sizes. Oh wait, I still have my old 18 quart sized one hiding out in my garage too in case it's needed. You can use those instead of an oven to cook almost anything you would cook in an oven. VERY nice in the summertime when the temps are 90 and above because they do not heat your house up. And you can cook a turkey in them as well. I have not cooked a turkey in my oven since I bought my big roaster because they come out of their so moist. yea, I realize that is lost on a vegetarian. LOL Your guests would like that though. ;) There are other companies that make those same type of roasters but trust me, stick to the Nesco if you buy one. You can also get a nifty divided insert to put inside the Nesco that will keep warm three different dishes. That comes in very handy during the holidays for veggies and mashed potatoes/gravy.VickiThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611232516583515409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379093287265592451.post-5061572061678534442010-09-09T13:10:43.937-05:002010-09-09T13:10:43.937-05:00oh how I would love that cute dutch oven!

I also use it to do meats (start on the stove, finish in the oven). But I love that it's cast iron - heats so well. And the thing stays hot for-e-ver. So it keeps your soup warm even during dinner.

I love mine and cook both veggie and meat dishes in it. After you've used one, you will wonder what you've done without it.

But now that I've read Quimby's description, I'm not sure I'm ever going to be able to use my Dutch oven again so maybe it's a gravy boat you need until someone comes up with an alternate meaning for that!Carol, The Answer Is Chocolatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06013333128752587195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379093287265592451.post-24581895174939836972010-09-08T15:24:35.023-05:002010-09-08T15:24:35.023-05:00We just use our Dutch oven as a really big pot.

Of course a Dutch oven is also when you fart in bed and then pull the covers up over the other person's head. Next time your grandma says you need a Dutch oven, there's an image that should make you laugh out loud!Quimbynoreply@blogger.com
