Most of what Ed said is what I would advise, EXCEPT do not line with foil
because then you can't slosh a bit of wine in and grt the browned bits off
for a sauce. You'll end up losing a lot of flavor in the dishwater.
I would not use my dutch oven because the sides are too high for good heat
circulation. Lower is better.
