Staub Cocotte Cast Iron. I have the larger size in black. Really like it. Like new in box, 50 bucks. Pawn and Thrift stores are 100 in a hundred chance but still better odds than playing the Lotto.



Thank you,

    Thank you. I like the hunt. Like finding a great looking choice steak that looks like prime.

    Wonderful find there, Darian! Today I have used my similiar cast iron, porcelain coated Dutch oven for an 8 hour cook of 4.5 pounds of white button mushrooms. I am planning a post about all that tommow.

    A steal! Not as good as my 11 piece Le Creuset set for $50, but still a steal. =)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    You always find cool crap down there in thrift stores. Up here it's a few bags of hair curlers, clothes, dishes from the 80's, vhs tapes, and a couple old crusty coffee pots. 

    Great score by the way!

    I find nothing worth buying most of the time. But it's like golf for me. That one good shot each round keeps me coming back.

    Picked up one of the 10” Le Creuset grill pans not quite in the box mind you, but still in good shape and paid $15 at a local thrift store, that was my lucky day...
