You have the mother of all great cookware. Just remember not to take it from freezer to heat or it can crack. But you can make all sorts of casseroles in it, soups, roasts, chickens, fried chicken, baked chickens, ribs, anything. If this is a le crueset or its cousin, this will last you a LONG time. Use wooden utensils with it so you don't chip the enamel, and clean with hot soapy water. Not a good idea to put it in the dishwasher.
