Objects in our homes come and go, but some stay around for years like a dear friend. This Le Creuset pot is one of my oldest friends. It has helped me learn to cook and has never judged me for the "mistakes" I made. We have been together for more than twenty years, and she is better than ever. Seasoned with family memories.
Having a quality cast iron dutch oven is worth the investment. It will produce better-tasting food and stand the test of time. Maybe to even be passed on one day- full of family favorite recipes.
