1. You won't get laid for a month

Never, ever, give wifey stuff as a "surprise".

The single exception is if she's been asking for one. Even so, it will be the wrong brand, colour, texture.

2. Is it an enameled Dutch Oven?
Edited on Fri May-16-08 03:08 PM by hippywife
My husband surprised me with one a couple of months ago. Now I make wonderful crusty bread all the time. Is that why she wants it (or you want her to have it? LOL) Also made a dynamite Italian Pot Roast in it.

Hope she loves it! I know I do mine! :hi:

3. Where the heck did you get one? I've been looking for months.
My boyfriend was going to get me one the other day and I can't find one! (I don't want one with plastic handles - I want to be able to put it in the regular oven).

You are a good husband.

5. Target carries

Tramontina ones that are labeled casseroles, I think. That's what my husband bought for me. It was only around $60. I just swapped out the knob on the lid with a ceramic cabinet knob and the handles are also enameled cast iron. It's been a great addition to the kitchen.

Tramontina's got a very good rating from Cook's Illustrated, too.

9. Oh, okay. Changing out the knob might do it.
And I wonder why they don't call it a Dutch oven?

10. Beats me.
All I know is that it works really well. I can bake bread in it at 450 and it comes out really nice.

And I see this thread isn't about what we thought it was. :eyes:

12. Maybe you shouldn’t wait, that might get uncomfortable
Just give her a nice big excuse to leave the room or light a match now.
