Can you cook a pork roast in a oval dutch oven or should I use a roasting pan instead?!
I have both but was wondering if it is possible to use a dutch oven to sear it first then put it in the oven to cook the rest of the way through!. I have a Le Creuset 8 quart oval dutch oven and the roast weighs 4 1/2 pounds!. Should I use a lid or no lid!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

You most certainly can! I always use the same pan to sear and cook my roasts, if it's big enough!. I allow for about 2 -3 inches all around the protein for vegetables and better heat flow and yes, I do use the lid as well!. This will increase your cooking time and to keep all of those wonderful flavors steaming together for maximum taste!.

After you brown it on top of the stove,
of course the oven is just fine!. I would lid it, more tender and cooks faster!.
