I have lecruset, lodge, and Amazon basics Dutch ovens ranging from 2qt-12qt I’ve picked up/had passed down over the last few decades. I’m doubtful any of them won’t last my lifetime and the next with proper care.

I have a LeCreuset dutch oven in the old flame color that the handle fell off. (It's 30 yrs old.) I made some efforts to replace it but got frustrated. I stored it in the garage, then one day I needed a nice flower pot for my front porch. Hauled out the old thing, put a lavender and some orange/yellow lantana in it, and it looks spectacular! I know this is not what you should do with an expensive pot but I honestly enjoy seeing it so much.

it’s your pot, and you can do what you want with it, but that is low key slightly upsetting lmao

Yes, good point, but in practice it was hard to make this happen and I just gave up. They would not just send me the needed part in the mail and I had to drive around, etc.

Dude what? The handle is held on with a single run of the mill Philips head screw. How hard can it be?

If the threads are messed up you can order a new handle easy.

Threads are messed up and I was not able to easily get that handle as I said. Anyway, I love my flowerpot and it was a blessing in disguise.

This is key. Even a Le Creuset won’t hold up well if the owner uses it like a dick. You stick to silicone or wooden cooking utensils when using even cheap cast iron and you’re gonna be okay. I’ve got two years on a no name cast iron Dutch oven and it’s still going strong.
