re: Enameled Cast Iron question

I picked up a 7-quart enameled cast iron Dutch oven at Goodwill for $5 about 7 years ago. It's a no-name, but was in great shape and I've used it many, many times.

Got an enameled steel Merten & Storck brasier from Germany that cost many times more, and it works well too, though not better, except for one thing, it's a lot lighter than cast iron.
