Ikea

i have the cast iron enameled pot from Ikea in green (made in France) and i LOVE it.
i also have a lodge and a Staub. i love my Staub as well and since the Ikea one looked like my Staub (it has braising spikes on the inside and a dark interior) i had to try it out. It is fantastic. nothing sticks to the bottom like my Lodge pan which has a white bottom (and i've heard the same complaint from Le Crueset). i wouldn't hesitate to buy this pot from Ikea. I am going to go back and get the very large one. however, i wouldn't buy the ones that say made in China. i don't trust the materials from China at this point.

Cast Iron Pots by Le Creuset

i have a Staub pot that i love so when i saw the cast iron pots in IKEA that looked very similar to my Staub, i had to buy one. i have not been disappointed. just make sure you get the ones that say Made in France on the bottom. i don't trust the materials of anything made in China right now.

But my green Ikea cast iron pot is incredible. the dark enamel on the interior resists sticking (unlike my Lodge cast iron enameled pot with white interior) The Ikea is an incredible pot that rivals my Staub.
