"If you really want to impress the home cook in your life, show up with a recently released large-format Dutch oven (it holds 7 1⁄4 quarts) from Charleston-based Smithey Ironware. This big boy can handle cooking for bigger groups — which makes it perfect for the entertainer or sizable family in your life. Smithey’s signature finish will never chip or crack, and it looks great just sitting on the stovetop." - Erin Perkins
