Well, I guess I’ll buy the 7 qt dutch oven, and ‘spend a day with it’ ;-)
We don’t do big pots in the dishwasher, either.
Let us know how you like it and if you notice any difference. Sounds like it certainly wouldn’t be any worse than the original version and could be an improvement. I didn’t notice, did it cost more?
I was thinking as I was painting the downstairs kitchen this morning - it is SAD that companies like Lodge are having to come up with labor-free alternatives just for our lazy millenials! Like VK said, if/when the SHTF, they won’t have a clue how to survive. During the depression, I’m sure the younger folks were needed to do the labor-intensive chores, but our younger folks will be whining and waiting for the government trucks!
This is really scary.
