So the outlet mall now has a Le Creuset outlet. Nick and I went in and a 6 3/4 oval 2nd was $130. From what I recall that's an awesome price. We were ready to buy. Then the salesperson told me that the unit can not be heated dry. So I can't sear my meats in the pan? I'm a little confused because that's what the point of it all was.

So what do you do with your Dutch oven, and do you put liquid in the bottom before you heat it up? Do you sear in it?
