I’ve bought a new pot, red, beautiful and enameled. The old one I used to have was cracked. And my two cast Iron pots are not enameled.

I’ve bought a new pot, red, beautiful and enameled. The old one I used to have was cracked. And my two cast Iron pots are not enameled.
So I ended up cleaning that cupboard & sorting pots and pans (not really what I planned to do today). And I have loads. Some from the bottom and back are really dirty & need a thorough clean.
I will have to decide which should go for keeping in the basement. For a single person the amount is ridicules & I’ve not even got to the lids on the top shelf 😱

I may have a problem:
- What a beautiful problem to have!
  (งツ)ว
- Uranium: my favorite flavor.
  
  Kidding. That's a really nice display.
  
  I set it up for the photo, my wife thinks it's weird keeping cookware in the living room. :)
- Is that like $6k worth of Le creuset on display?
  
  I haven't added it up. Frankly, I don't want to. ;)
  
  Fortunately most of it was discounted through their outlet store.

  Had to move them there to get the photo. :)
My favorite workhorse is just a large, enameled piece of lodge logic in that exact same color. Absolutely love it.
- It really will do just about anything well. I used to prep stews in a bonafide slow cooker, but I find I get a better result from my enameled pot, slow cooker probably wins out on the energy bill though.

  I’m instaling my new pot by cooking a substantial amount of Bengal Chicken curry. My last batch was finished recently https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DssGI5u44wSguMGsqS1-VU-93IVZf19rn4SqyAsQS0M/edit
  This is more like two chickens as I had 5 large frozen whole clubs.
  Added a carrot and exchanged the yellow onion for red.

  Bulk food. Ready to heat up
  
  Best result would be a grown hen or roaster, better and more flavorful and I don’t like the more or less factory produced ones, @georgemonbiot@tweet.pasture. is right about that, but home raised are hard to find in the shops. You’d have to know someone with a chicken coup.
  
  Already time for the cinnamon and cardemum pods…

Cabinets and drawers get filled up quickly in my kitchen. I feel like I'm always trying to find more room. It's a never ending process. Beautiful pot :)
- @henchman2019 well after sorting and cleaning the heaviest and doublet items will go elsewhere. They have their purposes. That large cast iron pot for really huge things like a lamb leg or turkey for example. But how often? Very seldom… And that grill pan, I think I’ve used it trice.
That's a beautiful Dutch oven.
