Well, I’m confused now. The 7 quart dutch oven I was looking at on Amazon is $57.33 with free shipping. At the lodge website, they want $102 for the same thing (???) It’s kind of confusing because the ‘Foundry’ seasoning, and the ‘heat treated’ seasoning seem to be different lines; but on the site, the ‘heat treated’ seem to be all smaller and tabletop pieces..
I just noticed that they make a 14” flat-bottom wok; and a 9” mini one. That little one would be very useful:

I love Amazons prices :-) and their customer service. I’m dealing with their customer service now on a third-party order order that was misrepresented. Amazon is forcing the seller to do the right thing. Pretty neat, I just wish they weren’t a bunch of liberals.
it probably makes sense that the new rust resistant cast-iron a smaller, if they are intended for millennial‘s. And to go in the dishwasher!
I love the little wok! How cute is that. I originally bought a bunch of big cast-iron when I was first buying it. I didn’t realize the size would make it prohibitively heavy! And now that it’s just me and hubby, smaller pieces make more sense. So the last couple I bought have been a little dutch oven and a little combo unit. I love those combo units, where a lid can serve as a skillet. I found a really neat YouTube video on making baguettes in a combo unit. You put them on the lid and then cover them with the pot so they can have a oven spring in a more humid atmosphere. And then you take the pot off so they brown. It actually turned out really well.
