Reader question: Is the La Crueset the only dutch oven you recommend? ~Jean S., Seattle, WA_

Hi Jean,

Thanks for writing! The only requirements for Dutch ovens when making [Glorious One-Pot Meals](http://elizabethyarnell.com/books/gloriousonepotmeals/) are:

1. They must be made of cast iron.
2. They must have a well-fitting lid that does not have any gaps.
3. They must have a flat bottom.

Both seasoned cast iron and enameled cast iron Dutch ovens work well for [Glorious One-Pot Meals](http://elizabethyarnell.com/books/gloriousonepotmeals/), and the brand does not matter.

Looking at my own shelves of cast iron Dutch ovens, I can count five brands that all make perfect Glorious One-Pot Meals.

Happy cooking!
