Le Creuset vs. Other enamelled cast iron?

How about a cast iron magpie?

I used to have a bunch of cast iron but we got rid of it a while ago. It's good for muscle building, but Mr wtg has pretty serious arthritis in his hands and using heavy pots didn't work too well.

I love the cast iron magpie!!!!

Speaking of cast iron magpie, I kind of want the Lodge Dolly Parton skillet, but I don’t need it.

Thanks for bringing up the problems with arthritic hands. I hadn’t thought of that. Obviously if I’m going to buy LC or some other more expensive cookware I’m thinking long term. I already have some mild (what I assume is) arthritis in my hands which at times makes it hard for me to open things or to grip utensils to stir for any length of time. Heavy objects haven’t posed as much of a problem but I assume they could in the future… maybe I should rethink.
