This is the Lodge 3 quart Apple Pot.
It's an enameled decorative pot, meant to be an attractive serving dish, and boasts an "ideal shape for slow-cooking projects." It's $99.
Reportedly it can be used for "marinating, refrigerating or freezing", which I had not realized was a perk of enameled cast iron. Non-enameled isn't normally used for that*.
*Because of rust issues, you shouldn't leave liquid in cast iron for long periods of time. Enameled is rust resistant.
Other than that, the only difference between this and my $28 3 quart dutch oven, is the cute color and shape. They're functionally the same.
I may not be able to refrigerate, freeze or marinate in my dutch oven, but it IS an attractive serving dish, and the ideal shape for slow-cooking projects!
Now, I can see the convenience of being able to refrigerate or marinate. But why would you want to put cookware in the freezer, especially a $99 pot?
It also claims to "instantly become the center of conversation." I believe that. I can talk about cast iron for hours!
