Magpie Monday

I am a massive fan of cast iron pots and pans and have a huge Le Creuset collection, which is worth a small fortune.  I found this little beauty in our local junk shop for £17.50.  It's a big cast iron enamelled stock pot, admittedly not Le Creuset but it still matches and is exactly what I was after but at a fraction of the cost.

    I love Le Creuset too - volcanic orange is the best! My best second hand buy was a casserole dish for only £3. Your stockpot is lovely and a great match.

    I've never come across Le Creuset on my thrifty travels as yet but I've been hoping to for some time now - I can't get enough of their pots and they last a life time if well cared for. The volcanic orange is the most striking shade too, though I'm fairly partial to some of the blues I've seen :-)

    That is the BEST color. Who cares if it has the label if it does the job, makes you happy and matches your set!
    I own 2 Le Creuset pieces, both preowned, and so expensive I don't use them as often as I should. I know they can take it.
