A large Dutch Oven can always cook smaller portions. If you are only going to buy only one, get the big #14. That is the standard advice. My advice is to get a smaller one to learn on. I started with a #10. I now have it, a #12, two #14s and a rare and HUGE #16 ( these cook differently than the others.)
