I like Jane.  I've said it before and I'll say it again -  a host who tells me nothing I can't figure out for myself from the website is a host I don't care to watch. 

I prefer Jane to many of her co-hosts.   I assume she sells to many of us and that's why she is still working onair often. I'd be quite happy if more hosts emulated her.

@golding76   just curious -- how on earth do you lift this pot? I can barely lift a small casserole or fry pan in the stores.  ??

[SeaMaiden]

being a salesperson is just a tough way to make a living. No, not a career I would chose.

How do you lift it?

Carefully!!!*

If you REALLY want to know about lifting....look up Le Creuset "Goose Pot" (or 15.5 quart oval roaster with cast iron lid)...on You Tube, or on thier site..

You can take a bath in it, and a lot of people suggest you might need to reinforce the racks in your oven from below to hold it...

5-700 dollars depending on the website or Ebay!!!

* At least with Le Creuset pots, if and when you DO lift them or remove them from the oven, you needn't worry about them cracking in two with gallons of boiling food in them( like whenTemptations Tara used to bring out a 9x13 baker full of hot lasagna...if that thing ever decided to crack while she was bringing it to the display table, she'd need the burn unit...Temptations has a reputation for cracking in the oven.....I always held my breath when she did that on live TV.....)

@SeaMaiden  I agree with you but....it seems to me these people just love being in front of the camera or they would choose a different path. Just watch how many of the hosts keep looking at themselves in the camera while on air. Sometimes there  is ego involved in people that choose be in front of millions of people.

so many sales cliches and over the top facial expressions and hand gestures. Nope. I couldn't do it and wouldn't want to.

@allaries @Jane Treacy tells the story of auditioning with the pencil in front of Joseph Segel, QVC founder. She got the job and the rest is history!

@mspemberley   This is true and there is a clip of that audition somewhere out there-I saw it but it wasn't the whole 15-20 minutes.

I believe she felt she would not be a good at sales but her Mom encouraged her to try out.

zitawins,

This one is smaller and, I hope, lighter in weight. (I believe David alluded to this concern -- older population requested a lighter pot.)

Not blessed with upper-arm strength, I do huff and puff with my other, heavier Le Creuset cookware.  The effort is worth it to me, though.   This cookware is worthy of being passed down to a new generation, I believe.

One of the pieces I keep on top of the stove so that I do not have to keep heaving it up and out of a storage area.

The main reason I could never be a host or other salesperson is I could not pretend something was great that I wouldn't buy myself.
