The verdict
Where this pick fits.
Enameled cast iron, stainless infuser, glossy lid. Holds heat the way cast iron always has. Heavy enough that pouring is a deliberate two-handed event. That deliberation is the whole point.
Heavy enough to make pouring deliberate. That deliberation is the point. It earned its spot in our lineup by solving the stage it's supposed to solve, without pretending to solve every stage after it.
