Why do cast iron dutch ovens vary from $15 to $50? Is there really that big of a difference in quality?
Cast iron is difficult for me to use because they are so heavy and I have arthritic wrists and hands, but my daughter-in-love wanted pans (bless her heart she loves to eat but she doesn't love to cook and they will probably be used once, if that!) But I like to get my Christmas shopping done at a leisurely pace before the rush. And if she does use them, cast iron holds up better than any pan I know of. Do you like cast iron? If not, what are the reasons? Is there something I should be aware of before considering this as a gift?

I was going to try and joke but this is not a joke. I love to cook.

Linda Joy Its o.k. to joke. I cook because I eat. Cooking is not a passion for me. It was a way to make a living and I'd rather cook than pay someone else to do it for me. And I'd rather cook it myself if I'm picky about how its done. I also like to cook for others if it is appreciated and not taken for granted or criticized. But mostly I cook to save money, and for health reasons. Also I've worked enough food service to know that the food is only as safe as the handlers and that can change from one shift to the next! I think I might 'love to cook' if I had the money to invest in varied and quality ingredients, appliances and utensils, but I have to do this on the cheap. Besides it all comes out the same in the end! -
Rick Myres Heah he he he! It does indeed all come out the same end.
