Cutlery and More has additional colors at that price

Yep, bought a few as gifts. Incredible deal.

You can do a small batch of gumbo and probably serve 4 people.

The 5.5 hits the sweet spot for me but the 7 is nice too.

Looks nice. We use ours for that, too. Also for cooking a hen to make broth.

Same here. Got the 5 quart a couple of years ago and now it is mine and my wife’s favorite piece to cook in.

4 Quart Dutch oven in Truffle White or Graphite. If you wanted one, they probably won't be any cheaper.

If you use Honey, or coupon code SBG1487 you save an extra $10.

Unless someone can tell me the difference between cast iron of Lodge and cast iron from Staub. I think the cast iron will heat up and cook the same.

Also, the best restaurants and chefs that I know cooking your food, is not overly worried about high end name brand pots & pans unless, they have stake in it.It seems that folks who have fancy cookware, somehow think the food taste better, just saying. I like my restaurant grade pots & pans and my Lodge cast iron. Seems I have not had any complaints. The one Chinese made Cajun brand jambalaya pot lid I have, is a little warped. But still cooks a great Jambalaya without any issues.

Please educate me. How is expensive cast iron different than Lodge cast iron?

I understand maybe for enamel. I do not cook in enamel cast iron, I never really understood the reasoning.

Damn MD! Nice collection!

My chef pans are nothing special. Simple skillets and pots nothing fancy.
