My Man loves to cook in cast iron, but we never had it until we found this one in... forgot when, but maybe somewhere 2010 or before when we still walked around on trash nights. Meant to be a keeper, but he wanted bigger! We finally bought one at IKEA with two liters more of content. Used that for years but then, one lucky day there was a real Creuset at the thrift shop. Looking up later the model could have been worth around €300 new. But second hand I thought €25 would be okay. Only coming home I asked did he actually want it. Never heard a bigger yes! He was in front of the door at opening time the next morning to be sure to get it! Difference is mainly the enamel inside which the others didn't have. But otherwise it's mainly the name. I then put the Hackman from Finland for sale. It turned out to be a product people could buy with discount from a Dutch supermarket with collected points. Listed 2017-02-19, sold the next day. At €15 I still had about half of that.
