This past summer I helped move my grandparents out of their house into a new place on the grounds of an assisted living facility. Helping them pack up, I got to take some awesome family heirlooms with me. This cast-iron, porcelain coated braising pot was my grandmother's (she's still alive, but she gave me the pot). She writes this about the pot: "In about the 1960's those heavy enamal covered pans got very popular. I used that one a lot for parties for you mom and your uncles' friends . . . spaghetti, casserole dishes, etc. I used it a lot at one time particularly for informal and outdoor gatherings." This was the first time it's been used in awhile. Those are teeny potatoes provided by Trader Joe's for $1.99.
