How to Move a Dutch Oven

A Dutch oven's enamel coating chips at the rim more than anywhere else, and the pot itself is heavy enough to demand a properly sized box. Handle both of those and it travels fine.

Pro tip: Tuck a folded towel inside the pot itself before adding the lid on top, giving cushioning without adding a separate item to pack.

Watch out: Never let the lid rest directly on the pot without padding between them; the two enamel surfaces meeting is one of the most common causes of a chipped rim.
