For several years I have been wanting an enameled cast iron dutch
oven/casserole. I won't pay over $100 for one. I know they are worth
it, but I'm close to 67 and won't use it more than once a month, so an
expensive pot, no matter how long it will last, is not cost effective.

I have haunted Marshall's and Ross looking for a bargain without
success. Cheapest I could find was above $50.

Today's ad from HEB (local supermarket chain) offered one for $29.97. If
you purchased it you got a coupon for $10 off of a boneless shoulder
roast, free corn tortillas and a free can of HEB's brand of tomatoes
and chilis. I did find a nice shoulder roast for just under $8 and took
a can of tomatoes with diced chilis, but didn't bother with the
tortillas as I have a package in the freezer that came with the "loco"
deal for the mahi mahi "fish taco" chunks I bought last week.

Even though my roast was less than $10, they credited me the entire
$10. The girl said there was no other way to do it. The canned tomatoes
were tagged at 79 cents. Final cost was below $20.

I am really excited about my new casserole. Of course it's made in
China, but what isn't these days?

Oh yes. It's red with an off-white interior.

Size? What kind of lid?

I prefer an oval porcelain on steel roaster, they weigh much less,
cost much less, and I think they cook just as well.

What is the brand name on the bottom? Is it Tramontina? If so,
you got a great bargain.

I hope you new DO works out for you.

I'm 67 also, but I don't look for a purchase being cost effective by
age. If I (or my wife) want it, can afford it, I buy it. It does not
matter if it cost $20 or $200, the kids will sell it for $2 at a yard
sale after I'm gone.

I was given one as a gift. It was a mistake. The people who gave it to me
do not cook. I asked for the oval pasta pot and they got me the oval cast
iron casserole, same brand. I could not lift it by myself, even empty.
Took Angela and I both to get it out of the cart to return it. Don't
remember the size but HUGE! I can't imagine trying to lift it with food in
it, especially when it is hot from the oven.

5.2 Quart. Lid is regular lid with a high-temp plastic knob.

I used to lift weights at home. And Angela lifts them. But this was a

LOL. My absolute favourite cooking vessel is a cast iron dutch oven I
bought at a yard sale for $5, about 25 years ago.

It's pale green, has a stylized tulip decoration on it, and says MADE
IN HOLLAND on the bottom.

I do exactly the same, and clean up is easy. It's my favorite pot and
Le Creuset doesn't chip like the cheaper copies. (Although you can
buy a lot of cheaper copies for one Le Creuset.)

Janet. The one thing you need to do if you plan on using that pot
in the oven is to replace the lid's knob.
You can find replacement knobs on Amazon. I got one for my
Tramontina at the advice of several reviewers on Amazon.
You said it's a high temp plastic. It's not. That is the only
really cheap thing about that pot. Go get a metal knob replacement.

Okay. Will Do. The literature that came with it said the knob was good
for up to 450° F. I figured that anything I was going to cook in the
casserole would be low and slow and that was enough, but we have a
wonderful hardware store that carries everything. I'm sure they will
have a metal or glass knob.

I've had a cast iron dutch oven for many decades. I used to use it once
in a while but now not for a decade or more. I should try to think of
something to make in it. Evidently my bachelor cooking projects have
changed more than I realized - smaller and simpler as I age.

We had a great hardware store like that too. Then Home Depot moved to town.
And, any more, I beame disenchanted with Home Depot so now I have neither.

The thing I learned about the enameled cast iron is that you can burn
the h""l out of something if you use high heat. You need to use less
heat than you think because once the pot gets hot it keeps the heat.
Also, don't add too much liquid at the beginning -- the heavy lid does
not let moisture escape like lighter weight pots and lids do. If you
need a photo that demos too much heat, ask. I've got one of those ;o)

I can spend hours and hours there. They have a "household goods"

Nordicware bundt pans they carry.

When visitors come here I take them to Mexico, the each at South Padre
Island, a couple of state parks and wildlife refuges and Johnny's True
Value Hardware. Even the local Home Depot and Lowes will send you there
if they don't have something.

I have a similar hardware store. Not that I'm looking for knobs for
cookware, but I can get just about anything I want there. The staff is

I bought the cast iron pans I didn't inherit from a hardware store
like that, only it was just a little neighborhood store - nothing
fancy.

You can buy glass and they'll cut it for you too, buy nails and screws
by the each or by the pound, buy different types of chain or rope in
any length you want... the list goes on and on.

My father did pass away a few years ago. My mother is doing fine and
enjoying the car I bought her. No jealousy here. Jill's rants are
sickening. She has a 40 page resume and now relies on the death of her
parents for survival.

I read rfc - whatever rants you're referring to don't happen here.

You're bitter because your parents are too poor to leave you anything
- or do they subscribe to the notion that the last check they write
should be to the undertaker... and it should bounce? It was just a
rhetorical question, I don't care what your personal circumstances
are.

Jill was left with the house, which isn't worth very much in terms of
dollars. It's a fully paid off (an assumption) roof over her head,
but she has non-negotiable built in expenses (not an assumption) that
don't make it the windfall people would like to assume it is - even in
this down economy.

But that is her life and her business. You do know it reflects badly on
you, not her?
You just look like you are spitting with envy ... ugh Anyway I am out

Thanks, sf. I do wish people would stop responding to this troll, who
dogs my footsteps like a puppy begging for attention. He talks about
*my* rants but what the hell does he contribute to RFC? Obviously

In this economy an inherited house is a free liability.

Don't worry Jill. Anybody here with a brain, knows who the trolls
