[Sca-cooks] If you only had one cooking pot

[Mike C. Baker]

I am familiar with this size / type / style of pot as a "Dutch oven" -- even 
though the primary resemblance is diameter and relatively short height for 
that diameter.

In fact, I saw one offered at a supermarket (or *possibly* WalMart/Target) 
within the last year.

On-line, you might also check Sportsman's Guide, L.L. Bean, or something 
like a Tractor Supply Company -- perhaps search for "enamelware Dutch oven". 
(Sorry, composing this off-line and am not this instant able to verify the 
search...)
