May I use a large pot instead of a dutch oven in this recipe?

In this recipe ( http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/cooki鈥?/a> ) for baked ratatouille, would using a large pot instead of a dutch oven affect the result? ThanksMay I use a large pot instead of a dutch oven in this recipe?
As long as the pot can safely go in the oven, you should be fine. Just check for doneness now %26amp; then since your pot may be thicker or thinner than a dutch oven.May I use a large pot instead of a dutch oven in this recipe?
If I read the recipe correctly, you don't put the Dutch oven in your regular oven anyway...just a pie pan. A large pot should be fine, you'll just have to stir more often to keep it from scorching on the bottom.
you can use a large pot with a lid. If you're unsure of whether the handles or lid top is oven safe, wrap the handles with foil
I don't think it would be a huge difference if anything at all. A dutch oven is usually a thicker pot with a lid.
