I inherited my grandmothers dutch oven (center), it's probably 70 years old now. Still cooks up a storm!

Then I found I lived an easy drive from an outlet store and, well, yeah, that happened. :)

I use it regularly, I used to be in the Le Creuset sub on reddit, but then reddit went to hell. :(

So... any other fans out there?

I only just learned about these because of your post but now I'm extremely interested.

Cast iron cooking is a whole different experience... Enameled cast iron makes it super easy, no seasoning required.

no seasoning required

Why is that? That's the one thing that's always kinda freaked me out about cooking with a cast iron pan which is why I shied away from it for so long.

My instinct is to just scrub a pan until its clean. Not leave it to be seasoned. Unless what I saw in real life was wrong? my ex cooked with a cast iron pan.

Bare cast iron needs to be seasoned to establish a slick, non-stick, surface.

Enameled cast iron already has an enamel coating on it, no seasoning required.

Nice! Sounds like I'm gonna get me an enameled one.
