Geoffrey Z's show

I enjoyed his new show, but the dutch oven weights 5 lbs without the lid! I do like that the lid can be used for cooking also.

It's a nice piece. I agree with you, it's pretty heavy. GZ presents well - of course he's a TV pro.

My Wolfgang Puck enamelled cast iron "everyday" pan rarely gets used, because it's heavy. I keep thinking I need to use it more but then I think about why I don't, and there it sits.

@ImaoldhippieThere was a time in my life, I would have wanted the TSV. No longer. I rarely use my heavy 12" skillet because I'm afraid of it filled with hot, weighty food.

I don't even care that I no longer want new for the kitchen, but I have added having to choose new kitchen procedures to my list of things age seems to be requiring of me.

I had fallen asleep on my sofa last night - woke up at 2:30 and watched a TSV presentation. No idea who either the host or the vendor rep were; host was excellent and beautiful, too. Rep was fine, too; said he'd worked for years with the iron chef.

I have all of his other cast iron pieces and the quality is amazing. Yes, they are heavy, but they perform like a charm. I would love the Dutch Oven, but I have so many pieces of cookware that I’m out of room.

Most of what I would cook in the Dutch oven I can cook in my Ninja Foodi, so I’ll pass on this one.

Why the suits???? He seems so unapproachable dressed like that in the kitchen. He is handsome and all, but dress more down to earth, we know you are a millionaire give me a break.

@Imaoldhippie, according to the product page:

dutch oven weighs 10.2 lbs

lid weighs 5.8 lbs.

holy smokes, who can or wants to handle that especially when its full

with food, even heavier.

@SeaGal .....Holy Cow 10.5 lbs is even worse. I thought they were talking about the pot and not the lid.

No heavy cookware for me. Not too interested in his programs.

It’s cast iron. I expect it to be heavy.

Give me Curtis Stone any day! GZ does nothing to make me buy--he's made nothing so spectacular IMO.

At least, Curtis & Wolfgang cook in their products while selling.

GZ is into selling like any other vendor!

This guy is a phoney in front of the camera, and thinks he's above most... plus he's very political & expresses his disrespect for the President. Stay outta politics & stick to bossing your help Zak!
