Do I need a Dutch Oven and ceramic bakeware?
Came across a great pot roast recipe from Cooks Illustrated... but I do not own a dutch oven. Do I need one? And what is a popular size for 2 adults and 1 toddler? I am thinking 6 qt is just too big. What are some recipes that you must use a Dutch Oven for? My Pot Set has thick bottoms and glass lids, which probably don't go in the oven.
Also, Ceramic bakeware. Do I need some? I have 3 glass baking 9x13 dishes, and 3 glass pie plates. Wondering why I have no ceramic? What are some recipes that you must use ceramic for? I am thinking glazed ceramic, not porous. But feel free to give opinion on porous bakeware.
You can "braise" a pot roast in any large pot with a lid, and do it on the stovetop over the lowest heat on in the oven on low heat. It's just that "Dutch ovens" are usually Cast Iron (and many are also enameled over that so they can be washed in the usual way) and cast iron holds heat both evenly and very well over a long time.
As for "glass bakeware," it's fine for many things, but again ceramic or ceramic-covered clay or cast iron are better because of their smooth and even heating and heat-retention.

(And those also don't have the problems of especially the latest "glass" formulas for many glass/Pyrex/etc containers--especially if placed on wet or cool surfaces while hot:

I have a 5 or 6 qt** enameled Dutch oven (not the "best" made by Le Crueset, but a very good one made by Lodge and better than the Martha Stewart, etc., ones so available now). It's big (they come in various sizes) but will hold a whole chicken or large amount of soup/stew without problems which is fine for just the DH and me, or son added. I just leave it out on my stovetop since it's attractive (mine is blue).

** 10" dia, 4.5" tall
By "porous" bakeware I think you're referring to clay/terracotta, which is good because (after soaking a while) it will hold water while the food is baking which can help keep the foods inside moist and tender.
How do I efficiently clean my corning wear dishes?
I have a set of white corning wear bakeware. I love them, and use the large oval baker all the time to bake chicken. I often end up with baked on "stuff" from what we bake the chicken in, like barebque sauce or other marinades I use. I have one heck of a time getting this stuff off!! I soak the dish in hot soapy water before cleaning and it doesn't seem to help. Now my oval baker has all these stains on it from stuff I couldn't get off and I hate the way it looks.
Any tips on how to get all of these baked on stains off my dish??
Thanks!
Baking soda is good.
There are cleaning powders out there made for cleaning the Corningware, but I have never used them. While I was searching the answer for you, I came across a really great website for dealing with a variety of cooking products. See #1 below:
A review with lots of ideas thru an Ebay patron is #2 below:
And one last spot to read up on...
#3 below:
I've saved all three to my favorites, since I am addicted to the CorningWare French White collection. Still trying to get several pieces by & by thru Ebay.
You've done well with CorningWare - Enjoy!
