Recently found this on sale. It still cost me an arm and a leg but I love it dearly.

Look after it (especially the interior enamel - read Le Creuset’s instructions on their website) and it’ll do you for life.

Yeah, I'm not looking to baby it and keep it 100% pristine but I'm gonna try to keep it going for the rest of my life.

Good choice, if you can afford them.I have a similar one by the same brand. Even the same colour. They're very heavy, but it will last longer than I will.

Yeah. At a regular price I could never convince myself to get one. I do believe they're worth what Le Creuset are asking for them however. The enamel is very high quality. A cheaper piece will do the same jobb though.

We use ours several times a week. Good for making bread in, stews, any other meat in sauce type meals.

I had an undbranded one from a store before this one and it was great! Especially at €40. I hated the handles though. They were slightly underdimensioned and tended to try to break your thumbs when cleaning. Small thing that got annoying over the years. Gave it to someone who needed one.

Looking good!

What’s the size of this one?

Also, if you don’t mind me asking, what was the sale price?

It's the 5L 24cm one, a good size tbh! It was 50% off, which is still almost €200.

I got a damaged one for £25. The enamel is dented, but it's still good for breads if I use parchment

It would also work to plant some nice flowers. Not too bad at 25.

Yeah got to be careful with used though, I got a nice commercial grade saucepan at a junk shop last weekend for £3 and it leaks. Only found out after three rounds of scrubbing with bar keepers, too. That's going to be good for flowers, you want some drainage after all.
