A garland, two candles, three little decorative pumpkins that end up in the compost by mid-November. \u003cstrong\u003eThis one, you simmer in.\u003c\/strong\u003e It's a real 3.8-liter (4 qt) enameled cast-iron Dutch oven, with a real heavy lid, that happens to be shaped like a pumpkin. It spends six weeks at the center of the table and the rest of the year in the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA Dutch oven first, a decoration second\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cast iron does exactly what you expect of it here: it heats slowly, it holds the heat, it gives it back. \u003cstrong\u003eThe lid has weight, and that's the point\u003c\/strong\u003e — the steam falls back onto the meat instead of escaping, which is the whole difference between braised beef and boiled beef. The cream enamel inside lets you judge the color of a sauce base by eye; the colored enamel outside needs no seasoning or oiling. You have nothing to do for it to age well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e3.8 liters, meaning what\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA beef bourguignon for six. A whole chicken, snug but whole. A squash soup for the whole table, \u003cstrong\u003eserved in the pot it cooked in\u003c\/strong\u003e — which spares you one more bowl to wash on a night when you already have twelve. Ø 24 cm (9.5 in), 19 cm (7.5 in) high with the stem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem-shaped knob, brass finish\u003c\/strong\u003e — screwed on, metal, it goes in the oven with the rest. It's the detail that makes you leave it out on the table.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCream enameled interior\u003c\/strong\u003e — no seasoning, no oiling, and a light shade that lets you see where a sauce is at.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll cooktops, induction included\u003c\/strong\u003e — flat base for gas, electric, ceramic and induction, and the oven up to 260 °C (500 °F).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo integrated handles\u003c\/strong\u003e — a firm grip with pot holders, including when it comes out of the oven full.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSix colors\u003c\/strong\u003e — pumpkin orange, cream, sage green, matte black, brick red and storm blue.
