The pot Eliza bought me
I’ve wanted one of these porcelain cast iron pots for a very long time. You’ll often times see these used by professionals, on television, or by the more serious “chef” in your family.
Eliza surprised me by picking up a 6.5qt. version for me. I can’t be happier, as she was able not only to find a great deal, but the quality of the pot is extraordinary. These suckers are well made, sturdy, heavy, and gorgeous.
The very same night she gave it to me, I made some deep fried chicken in it. I made the oil temperature a bit too hot, so I burned the first 2 pieces, but they were test pieces anyway. This pot does an amazing job with heat disbursement. I had absolutely no trouble bringing the oil up-to-temperature, and then being able to adjust it.
I’m looking forward to using this for many kitchen projects, along with the cook book of course.
Thank you, again, for a great gift Eliza.

I’m jealous. Back when I still enjoyed going camping, we used these things to make some of the best desserts ever. Dutch rasberry turnover was especially good.
You definately scored big on this one.
Daniel: We’re going camping this summer, but unfortunately I can not use this pot on the fire. The porcelain enamel does not react well to wood fires, though it can be used on a gas range. I have a whole other gammet of goodies for when I go camping. I love camping.
Le Creuset is love!
You are very welcome!
Mine is almost 20 yrs old. How do I get one re-enameled?
Denise: I didn’t know that you could get them re-enameled?
I got a red one for $.25 (yes, that says twenty five CENTS) at a garage sale.
