I splurged on their dutch oven about ten years ago. Well worth the price. dameatball May 2018 #8
Totally agree. GoneOffShore May 2018 #11
Those dutch ovens are heavy! dameatball May 2018 #12
Indeed they are. GoneOffShore May 2018 #13
Even without food in them they are heavy! smirkymonkey May 2018 #16
It is wise to pick out a good place to store them. So far I have not been wise....:)) dameatball May 2018 #18

The man is joyfully sharing his magnificent chicken dish. If filed in c&b, I would never see it.

When we redo our kitchen here in Aix, I'm getting one of those or a Le Creuset, despite the fact that they are super expensive, even in the land of their manufacture.

We just gave away all of our Le Creuset but one. Too heavy to bring over to France.
The only one I still have is a round blue 3 quart with a lid.
Had two large Dutch ovens, a small skillet, the orange twin to my blue 3 quart, and a tarte tatin pan. Friends got them, not strangers.

When they are full it can be a two person job to lift them!

you know the story about reaching out and lifting and the strain it puts on your back. Been lucky so far!

here in Orlando a restaurant called, not coincidentally, Le Coq au Vin. One of the finest things I've ever put in my mouth.

Le Coq Au Vin has been consistently good for decades. Enjoy!!

I lived down that way for over 30 years and they were there before I got there. We've moved to the north side of Orlando but I still drive by there on occasion and I always think "This isn't too far - I gotta go there again".

Pretty sure that was the first French food, other than toast and fries, I ever had and I have never been disappointed in a dish there. But man, that coq au vin is something else. A universe beyond anything I've had before or since.
