Title: Consider a LeCreuset unless you're really using this outside
Review: I've have had this Dutch oven for the last 8 years and I'm sure it will outlast me. But I am also sure that for my offspring it also will be a bizarre relic as they wonder why one of their ancestors every put up with curing and cleaning and curing this when there was a perfectly good alternative in the cabinet. I wonder that too. Unless you are taking this out the the fire pit for outdoor cooking, I would highly recommend the equivalent Le Creuset models. They are enamel-coasted, painless to clean, and very heavy duty -- I expect to pass this one on as well. They distribute heat much better and have such contemporary innovations as a lid-handle NOT made of very heat-conductive metal.For outdoor use, I guess this is a sturdy bet (15 lbs) but know that this will require cleanup and care when you get home.
