It does a better job of anything needing long, low temperature cooking, like
braises and moist baking, but shines at giving oven-like conditions on top
of the cooker.
Once upon a time it would have been used to bake by people who didn't have
ovens, but that requires a cast iron lid which many modern ones don't have.
Coals were piled up around and over to surround the pot with dry heat, so
there's the biggest hint as to what does best.
Think of it as an non-electric slow cooker. Try the No-Knead bread recipe.
Make stew with dumplings, a big pot of stewed beans, braised goose, pot
roast. It will soon suggest itself when you start to cook certain things.
