Calphalon Dutch Oven
Best nonstick Dutch oven for home cooks seeking easy cleanup.
This is the workhorse you want for everyday braises and stews when you value convenience over tradition. By swapping heavy cast iron for hard-anodized aluminum, you gain a lighter pot that heats evenly and cleans up in the dishwasher, though you do sacrifice the searing power of a classic enameled vessel.
