I have a Wolf range I purchased 5 years ago, and the operating instructions were adamant about not using liners or aluminum foil in the oven. Check your instructions for care of your oven, and if it's not clearly addressed, call Wolf and ask them. It would be a shame if your new oven were ruined by a product not cleared for use in the Wolf. I can tell you, after 5 years of cooking with my range, that the oven clean feature works wonderfully well, and has cleaned up that blue interior so it looks like new. Also, pay attention to wiping up spills soon after they occur, as that will help your oven stay clean too. The instruction book provides great info on how to use/maintain your new range.

I had great results last Sunday at 350 degrees. I heated a little oil in the Le Creuset on the stove top, browned the patted down (paper towels) corned beef for a couple minutes all around, poured in a bottle of beer and water to about half way up the beef, and cooked it with the lid on for 3 1/2 hours. It was perfect! Tender, juicy as can be, and not at all dry. I did this for hash so threw out the water. If I was preparing cabbage, pots, and carrots I would dilute the very strong broth with water and divide into two pans; one for potatoes and carrots and another for the cabbage, and cook each for approx 20 minutes until done. This method was an experiment vs the very long and slow techniques that I've used in the past. This is a winner and will be repeated again without a doubt. Michaelp

We just bought the 5 shelf iron display. The shelves are not wide enough for the large 9 1/2 qt oval dutch oven. The 5 1/2 qt and 3 1/2 qt round ones look great on it. I am a little disappointed the large oval doesn't fit. I tried putting it on top, but, since it's the largest pot in the mix, it looked strange. Also, we have the 3 1/2 qt braiser, it fits, but, you have to turn it so the handles don't hit the bars on the side. So for now, the stand and the other pans in the mix sit in my bay window. It's the only place I could see all of them and not keep them in a cabinet. For me, they are heavy, it's easier to lift them from about half counter height. And it makes for a nice window display. We paid alot for them, it would be awful just to hide them away.

Lucille, if your large Dutch oven has a perfectly flat bottom, it should be fine on your glass topped stove. (As long as you don't drop it on it.) But if it has a ridge around the bottom, I would check with the manufacturer of the stove before using it. It's been pretty cold here lately, Gumbo sounds so-o-o-o- good! Rusty
