I inherited my grandmothers dutch oven (center), it's probably 70 years old now. Still cooks up a storm!
Then I found I lived an easy drive from an outlet store and, well, yeah, that happened. :)
I use it regularly, I used to be in the Le Creuset sub on reddit, but then reddit went to hell. :(
So... any other fans out there?
Oh man, I wish I could afford these. I always cheap out with cookware and it never lasts.
But until I can afford the real thing, does anyone have any recommendations for decent knock-offs or imitations?
Lodge's enameled cast iron pots are great. The enamel is made in China, but surprisingly so are some staub and Le creusets.
Ill have to check them out. I bought a cast iron lodge years ago (and I ended up wrecking it, hehe) but it was great while it lasted. Didnt know they did enameled stuff!
How does one manage to wreck cast iron?
I left it to soak after making bacon. It became a greasy rusty mess... (of course now I could have saved it) but at the time i tried steel wool and gave up. The experience has led me to buy enamel coated iron instead
