Wow, is that $100.00 for a single pot? I got a nice set of Circulon at Costco for $200.00. They're heavy, clean easily, cook food well, and can be cooked in an oven to 400 deg F.

I say if you like the pot, and have a good use for it [i.e. you can justify it and will use it] then get the Le Creuset stock pot. I put off buying the Circulon for years, and could hit myself in the head for delaying. Ouch :rolleyes:

Yes, it is this one:

The PX has the oval dutch oven for 195 bucks (no tax) and am thinking of getting one. We have the Martha Stewart made in china clone and heard they break on a stove top burner. There is a lot of factors for this but our gas stove top is easier to regulate than the old electric top. What I do is start with a skillet, then transfer to the enamel dutch oven to put into the oven. I will ask Santa for the LeCreuset. I have a son who is a professional chef and he will get my stuff anyway.
