I am seriously looking at these to use on an induction cooktop.
Have never had one and searching online I see a great deal of price difference.
I am thinking to just get a lower priced one to start with and see how I like it.
Does anyone have any advice or experience to share?

I have an aluminum Dutch Oven that is very handy for traveling. I use it on boat trips and truck camping mostly. It has no legs so it works well on a camp stove. I have used it plenty of times on a fire like for baking a cake. Al does not transfer heat as well as iron, so be careful with the bottom heat.

I bought several pieces of Enamel cast Iron. (It's beautiful)
My wife never wanted them used camping...
Eventually I sold them all.
I have a lot of Cast Iron skillets and D.O.'s
I love cooking with Iron.
When we camp I always carry at least a small D.O. and two cast Iron skillets.

Yes I go overboard with Cast Iron...
Results speak for themselves.

I don't have any enamel covered cast but I use cast iron pans that are over a hundred years old for most of my cooking both at home and on the road. A properly seasoned pan can be used for almost anything and is easy to maintain.

Cast iron is very durable and then you can cook on a fire.

We received the Kirkland brand of Le Cruset as a gift. Looks identical and even says made in France on the bottom. Don't know the cost but it works great

Thanks everyone for the advice. Probably pick up one today. Looking forward to testing it out.

Never thought about looking out for a ridge on bottom. Thanks for the heads up.

I have a Lodge porcelain coated. It works fine on an induction burner.

You need to make sure there isnโ€™t a ridge on the bottom.

Chinese cast iron is know to break and not fit very well.

How much can the cost to manufacture a cast iron pot vary. The only difference is in the MARKETING cost. One brand will work as well as the next.
Please give me enough troubles, uncertainty, problems, obstacles and STRESS so that I do not become arrogant, proud, and smug in my own abilities, and enough blessings and good times that I realize that someone else is in charge of my life.
