I think these pieces of cast iron are wonderful! I had never owned these until recently. My daughter has been buying me pieces at garage sales & at swap meets. I know they are heavy, but they really cant be beat! Recently, I bought a 5 or 6 Qt. enameled cast iron stock-pot at Wal-mart. I bought it for the color & also for the price. I couldnt afford one of those 200 dollar ones! I cant believe how fast it cooks. It seems silly to me, but it boils a lot faster than my expensive stainless steel pots! I was able to make homemade split pea soup in less than 2 hours! And, you know how long it takes to make that! I think we should all re-think pots & pans and their cost! And, their effectiveness! Maybe there was a reason women always used cast iron!? And, in time, if the pots get too heavy, maybe someone else should be lifting these for us! ;)
