I'm a lover of classic cookware. Whether it's a vintage copper saucepan or a cast-iron skillet, I've learned (after countless cooking mishaps) that high-quality vessels will never fail you in the kitchen.

I won't negotiate when it comes to investing in pots or pans; only the best cookware is allowed in my kitchen. While nothing beats long-established makers (think Le Creuset or Mauviel) who have nailed the art of the perfect pan, I've spotted homemaking icon Martha Stewart has created her own equally chic version for a far lower price point.

As a cookbook author and host of her own culinary show, it's no surprise that Martha Stewart's cookware is good. A testament to the quality of her products, it comes as no surprise that Martha uses the enamelled cast-iron Dutch oven in her own Bedford kitchen.

Taking to her blog to share her culinary creations, Martha uses the pot for a delectable beef bourguignon. She says, 'Beef bourguignon takes about three to four hours to complete. This duration includes preparation, searing of the meat, braising, and resting. After 90 minutes in the oven, Molly takes it out to check. She is using one of my Enamel Cast Iron Dutch Ovens.'

Sharing the results of her classic French dish, it's clear that the pot is perfect for slow-cooking. Designed to sit proudly on a stovetop or bask inside an oven for many hours at a time, it's a hardwearing choice that will suit any cook of any calibre for years to come. It's not just chic Dutch ovens that Martha has designed; she's covered all bases with her line of pots, pans, and utensils that will come in handy whenever you're in the mood to whip up a storm.


Martha's chic Dutch oven pan is one worth investing in. Available in a range of uplifting hues, it's a charmingly simple yet sturdy choice that will make the sometimes precarious art of cooking feel rather straightforward.
