Need a good first meal to set it on a proper path. Gumbo is probably my favorite thing to cook so that an option, but I also love braised meat dishes. Thought about maybe some oxtail. What says the FDB?

Both of your ideas are good options and things that I commonly cook in a dutch oven

I like doing some osso bucco or braised short ribs in a dutch oven also

Chuck roast is also good in a dutch oven

Literally any soup or chili or soup adjacent dish like a stew is going to be great in there also

Beef short ribs are great to braise with a tomato and red wine.
I love braising country style pork ribs with any of a number of different flavor combinations, green chiles with tomatillos always works well.

Is the inner lid dimpled or flat? If flat, it will not baste the meat continuously during the cook.

The lid on my Le creusets are all flat. I’ve braised many a dish with delectable results.

Sounds reasonable. The Staub pots have the lids with spikes and dimples that promote more vigorous basting.

I second beef short ribs. Braised to your preferred tenderness, these babies will provide you a meal that’s hard to beat.

I caved. As much as I wanted the first cook to be a 3-5 hour marathon, my impatience got the best of me and I used it for a quick weeknight meal.

Chicken thighs, Brussels sprouts, onion, leeks, quinoa. Stove top, 20 minutes in the oven at 400. Ignore the presentation and shitty camera work- my wife is a notorious chicken breast only person and she devoured it. Pot cleaned up like new and the chicken all seared evenly, even on my janky stove top
