I couldn't handle it for sure without dropping it. Only 2 of us anyway we would never eat 8qts of nothing. If you had big family and some teenagers to carry it for you from stove to table be OK I guess.

I'm not paying that for something I can get lots cheaper.

Pretty colors, though

I have a Tramontina and have stopped using it as I can barely lift it empty!

I like that combination of aluminum and cast iron. Got a skillet made of that and I love it ! takes out 50% of rib cracking wgt.

ITA, too heavy.  While I batch cook on the weekends this would wind up too weighty for me.

 

There are some exclusive colors out on WS too.

Being a Southern girl I have lots of cast iron and quit using it for the same reason!

 

Plus the strength in my hands at 64 is not what it used to be.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

Well for those who like to life weights, there is a Le Creuset  Signature 15.5 quart dutch oven over on BB&B. It's about $675!

 

For that price, it better set the table, cook dinner and do the dishes.
