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

Question

In this recipe ( http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/cooking-live/baked-ratatouille-recipe/index.html ) for baked ratatouille, would using a large pot instead of a dutch oven affect the result? Thanks

Answer 1

As long as the pot can safely go in the oven, you should be fine. Just check for doneness now & then since your pot may be thicker or thinner than a dutch oven.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.
