Hi,
Been wanting an enameled dutch oven...I saw that Costco has one and I must say, it is really nice looking, with a stainless steel lid handle (versus phoneolic resin that I see on a lot of other manufacturers lids). Costco has an awesome return policy, so I like buying stuff there...Trouble is, it is made in China. Since I want to buy american if there is an american made product, I looked into the Lodge enameled dutch ovens...guess what, it is made in China too. I never would have guessed that.
So my question is this...since there aparently isn't an american manufacturer left (that I know of), what do you look for in an enameled dutch oven. I can almost guarantee that I am not going to spend 5 times as much for a LeCrueset (and they call them french ovens btw).
Any thoughts?
