CHAD ENAMELED DUTCH OVEN
>$70 maybe
>Replaces crock pot, soup pot, casserole dish, and roasting pan
>Enameling perfects the only flaw which was cast iron seasoning.
>Can be used for most stovetop meals, unlike cast which can't handle anything remotely acidic
>Can create slow, even, full coverage heat for hours with literally just hot coals
>Traditionally used, popular with homesteaders and householders, and extremely durable
>Cooks efficiently, saves money over lifetime, makes grandma proud

VIRGIN STONEWARE, CAST, AND STAINLESS
>I guess I'll store a different massive cooking vessel for every dish, just to make it in the authentic vessel
>Stoneware takes forever to heat up and shatters
>Cast iron rusted away while you were shitposting
>Stainless goes cold faster than your wife after you pre
>Need a small closet to store different rarely-used random size casseroles, cast iron weights, and stainless pots
>None of them are worth keeping for more than 5-7 years, let alone passing on.
>Kids throw away all your junk and buy an enameled cast iron instant pot after you die

Sucks to suck I guess. My tramontina stays on the stove and it'll probably be there until I'm too old to lift it. Enjoy your arsenal of bullshit unitaskers though, whatever make you happy.
