Staub Dutch Oven Review and Gujarati Potato Curry Recipe
A few months ago we posted a general overview of Dutch Ovens. Last week, a package came in the mail from CSN stores—and today, we have a review.

GUJARTI STYLE SLOW POTATO CURRY
The secret to the deliciousness of potatoes is all in the sugars. While frying, boiling and even pressure cooking all still produce a tasty product, the absolutely best way to get maximum flavour from your spuds is to slow-roast them at a moderate temperature. This one pot curry is the perfect cozy-home food for a a cold winter’s night.

Hmmm, that is one thing I do not have in my kitchen – a dutch oven. Very interesting. That recipe sounds delicious!

I like to make desserts and candies and whenever the recipe calls for a dutch oven I get bummed because I don't have one. Thanks so much for this review – I am definitely going to check it out!

I once had a slow cooker and the knob broke off, thus turning it into a giant paper weight. I would love a Dutch oven, and to try your recipe. I love Indian food.

Hello-
I am trying to figure out who the maker is of this old dutch oven I found. Can't find anything about it's mark, which is a raised 4 leaf clover. There is no name anywhere. I read your general article on dutch ovens posted a few months ago & saw that you had one from ireland. Does it have a similar mark & do you know what maker it is? Any help would be greatly appreciated. : )

Hi Jessica! To be honest, I can't recall the manufacturer of our pot, and we just recently passed it along to a new home. Ours didn't have a clover-leaf, which is too bad, as I think that would be quite pretty! I'm wondering if it was La Cuisine? I think it may have been. It wasn't antique—or particularly nice. Rather a beast actually.
As far as clovers go, I have no real idea.
I've seen an American brand's donut irons and waffle irons with a three leafed clover (Ace Cloverleaf I think?). Clover shaped items seem to have been a hot commodity. I've seen griddles and the like with that shape, and even some old Le Creuset pieces made in that shape. So cool!
Griswold, a highly collectible brand has a mark which is a Swiss cross in two concentric rings that may be construed as clover-ish?
There are actually cast-iron collector's associations. If you are super-curious you may want to post to one with a picture and details, http://www.griswoldandwagner.com/ may be a good place to start.
Or, check and see if your library has any cast-iron collectors guides?

I just purchased a pink (off-white on the inside) 9" skillet, enamel coated cast iron. It is old and has the raised 4 leaf clover on the handle. I have looked all over the internet for 2 days and even called the Lodge Cast Iron co. to see if they could help me identify this maker. I found someone else who posted a search on the internet several years ago for this maker. I would love to find out how old it is which ehow says the enamel coated cast iron started being made in the 1930's here in the US. I don't know where this one was made but perhaps in another country because you don't find that many here in the US.

I believe the four leafed clover is the old Club aluminum??
