Seems like a pretty good deal if someone is in the market for a dutchy.  



Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    I love mine. I like the legs for my placesetter. Almost time for soups, stews and chili. I also bake bread in it.

    I love mine as well. The advantage of the legs is it keeps the bottom of the pot from building up a burnt layer of food. As you know you don't use soap or rough scrappers to clean seasoned cast iron pots so the legs are a real plus!

    Think this will fit a medium egg?

    I wish I were saying that now. Real feel of 104 today. At least it's down from feel of 107 yesterday.

    @ smokeypitt. It's time to either buy a cabinet or make one. How can she argue with that??? Lol

    I guess that I have been lucky so far because mine does not have legs and I always place it directly on the plate setter. I never had problems with anything sticking. That being said, I mostly use it to bake beans at low temperature (250-300F).

    @SmokeyPitt - thanks!
    I have the little 5 quart no feet domed DO, have been waiting for the 8 quart flat top with legs to go on sale - somehow I missed this, Thanks again for sharing. Ordered.
    There is the fact that SWMBO is going to kill me, I might never get to cook in it!

    @paqman - only had a couple of sticky issues with my smaller no legs DO - the legs take the worry out of being close allowing the air to moderate the temp of the DO bottom.

    Here's a little hint that works for me with my 3 legged camp style DO. Since this is not a frequent used item it gets stored in an out of the way closet that has wire selves. The legs make it a bear to store there until I took a square piece of 1.5" Styrofoam and carefully sholved the DO down on it to make indentions for the legs and now it sits securely on the wire shelf.

    That's a good idea. I always have a stash of wood chips in mine.

    @Skiddymarker‌ That's a small buy. Blame it on your fellow forum members.

    Yes it is, but SWMBO says she is suffering the death of a thousand cuts - bit melodramatic given she usually enjoys what comes off the egg, but you know how egg widows can be!
