Looking for a Creuset Dutch oven
I am looking for a Creuset Dutch oven, La Paz area. Anyone with one in good condition who does not need it anymore?
I like to cook in them but I only fly in and they are so ridiculously heavy it is not worth it.

The new Liverpool store in La Paz sells them if you can't find one used.

Special it is.
The whole brand, Le Creuset, cooks especially well
and can double as table serviceware because its so darned beautiful, imo.
The downside: they don't have the special new interior non-stick finishes;
they're extremely expensive to buy;
and are tremendously heavy.
Perhaps post the request to borrow/buy on the Yahoo Group "La Paz Gringos".

The best cookware for slow cooking of sauces, braising, etc.

They are definitely high quality but I would be reluctant to put them in my campfire like I do with my Lodge dutch ovens and you can't season them
like regular cast iron.

Once good cast iron is properly
seasoned and maintained you don't need gimmicks like stone lining to make them non-stick.

There's a brisk trade of vintage Le Creuset pieces on Ebay right now,
including a Dutch Oven at a comparatively low price: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m...
They're just so darned beautiful and appealing I had to peek-- Be still, my heart!
In terms of flying with one, well why not?
The biggest D.O. is 13 pounds,
your luggage has wheels...
so... go for it!

Keep in mind that Mulagena just transported a cast iron claw foot tub from central CA to Asuncion in the back of her pickup...She's got a handle on
moving heavy metal...

Caution thrown to the wind: Thread Hijack!!
Heavy metal.
You want heavy metal?
Here's some heavy metal for ya': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz50N2_tCCg&feature=share
Actually, its not Heavy Metal but some tasty new jazzy sound to enjoy today while preparing the Holiday dinner in that heavy-@@ pan.
Now, dance with that turkey!
And as for the antique castiron bathtub...
she's probably the only one on the whole peninsula!

My Mother of 84 years old......had these back in the 50's......and is STILL using them! Built for a life time.

Just cooked a batch of Braised Beef Short Ribs in mine. Delicious. Wouldn't be without it. They will last several lifetimes. Enameled surface
wipes clean, no need for some teflon coating.

We have a house in La Paz, you should see what we look like when we come in. Like a family of Gypsies. Maxed out on the luggage. Wondering if the
plane will be able to take off...
I wonder how much Le Creuset costs at Liverpool, I went there once and gasped in disbelief at the prices. I shop at high end places in LA but that
place was ridiculous. I remember a $60 beach towel!

I thought a dutch oven was when you f-a-r-t-e-d in the sheets and trapped it and then lifted the sheets up for a well timed "boom" on your
partner...ha!
But seriously, we love Le Crueset too...Too expensive but then again...if you use it for a lifetime your cost per use goes way down...

Check With Your Marshall's and Ross Stores in LA
That's where I got my Le Creuset Dutch Oven and a 1&1/2 quart sauce pan with reversible skillet lid (both in the same color of blue as
Loretana's).
The Dutch Oven was less than $50, the dual purpose sauce pan was less than $30.

Try hitting all the segundas up and down the hiway. Several as you get to El Centenario/Chemetla, and several more on the hiway headed out to Todo
Santos. I was given 2 by my mother that are older than I am. Not sure of the brand, but virtually thousands of stews, soups, chili, ect. have been
cooked in them. A couple of my most prized possessions.
