Cuisinart 5qt Enameled Dutch Oven (Thrift Shop Find)
My lovely new Cuisinart Dutch oven in Matt white - 5 quart
Are these Cuisinart Dutch Ovens real?
New Dutch Oven: Le Creuset or Cuisinart or ... ?

Sometimes I’ll see something at a thrift shop that screams, “Help! I don’t belong here!” This was one of those items. Before I opened it, I expected to be let off the hook by finding a horribly chipped interior finish. Nope. Pristine. The only “issue” I can find is a chip in the outer enamel, at the bottom edge, the size of a point pen tip. Other than that, I can’t see any evidence this thing has even been used. Been wanting to try an a Dutch oven with an enameled finish, so I couldn’t pass this up for $16. I’m going to pull my raw cast iron 5qt Lodge out of the rotation and give this one a try for the foreseeable.
So I am in the market for a ducth oven and after looking up things I came across America's test kitchen's post and to no surprise Le Creuset was the top choice
that however is a little out of my price range so when I saw their "best buy" I thought I would pull the trigger on that however searching their site it only shows 2 colors, and when looking for this item on amazon there is multiple items listed from a 3rd party seller for 40 dollars less than the one sold by amazon but Im curious are these counterfeit dutch ovens? I know that there are discontinued colors but i cannot find info on this anywhere online.
This is the link Shipped and Sold by Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CI670-30CR-Enameled-Casserole-Cardinal/dp/B0017HRLFC?th=1
and this is the other one listed on the same page but instead of Cardinal Red it is listed as Venice Red and is only 89.99 instead of 129.95: https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CI670-30CR-Enameled-Casserole-Cardinal/dp/B0CG78WXZD?th=1
Personally I really like the color of the Grey/Lilac one also listed on the same page from the same seller for 89.99: https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CI670-30CR-Enameled-Casserole-Cardinal/dp/B0CG7FNLXG?th=1
Cheers.
