My Dad had an awesome skillet that he cherished and I assumed that I would inherit this when he died. That never happened. That is a whole other story. When I started trying to learn to cook Filipino food, I realized how much I needed a cast iron skillet for frying fish, but had long been discouraged by trying to find one. Ok, ebay it is. As for Le Cruest, I believe that every serious cook should have at least one piece in their collection. I am madly in love with the line. If I had to have just one piece it would be a round dutch oven. Though I love my stock pot too and use it for soup. The dutch oven is perfect for braising. This is the one that I would suggest: ![]() It will last for generations. A friend said "Oh those are too expensive" I replied, "really? How much did you pay for your iphone?"

I love mine even though they're only Lodge--I think Griswold and Wagner must be awesome! Someday I will find some.

I just love the colour of that one.
I'm actually very interested in the doufeu that Le Creuset makes. You put ice in the top, and it keeps the lid a bit cooler so that the steam condenses and drips down on the food, keeping it moist. ![]() Whatever I get, I hope to get a black or dark coloured one because I'd like to use it in the solar cooker that I hope to buy one day. I'm all about the green and sustainable these days ![]() (Just have to sell the house and downsize before I can afford it, so send good house-selling prayers and thoughts if you can, I'd appreciate it muchly) xx |

The condensation of steam was not a problem for me with the Dutch oven but whatever seems a better fit for you makes sense. What kind of temperatures can you get up to with the solar cooking that you are interested in? I am taking a good hard look at the solar industry right now for another reason entirely and am impressed with how many people are reporting smooth sailing with new solar systems that are not only providing electricity but generating more than they need. So power goes back to the grid. Fascinating.
