Got a Staub Dutch oven for my birthday after my cheap one gave up the ghost. Always wanted to upgrade to one and had a hard time justifying it until the B-Day entered the picture. It was a special order from our local mom and pop dealer because of the color so it’s a few weeks past the big day. The little ribbon on top seems a bit unmanly but I’ll work through it.

First meal are braised short ribs using the recipe on the

If it wasn't for my BGE I'd have no use for my backyard...

I'm envious, I've got my Le Creuset my mom gave me 35 years ago and definitely showing some wear but keeps on trucking.
Heirloom gift, well worth it vs the cheaper alternatives. Have found many French enameled iron pieces in antique stores, cl, ebay etc, in great condition. Highly doubt Lodge and others will stand the test of time.
