"Yuk"? No yuk, Kandee! That cast iron kettle is GREAT for soups! I have three -- count 'em -- THREE! -- and I use all of them, sometimes two at a time! One of them is so big I can barely lift it when it's full.
Yeah, it's a Dutch Oven. You can put it on the burner or put it in the oven, and yeah, you can take it camping. What could be better, Girlfriend?! Try roasting a chicken in it -- oh, BABY! When I make my chicken stock, this is what I use -- my cast iron kettle. Nothing like it -- NOTHING! (And, yes, my first came from grandma.)
Okay, so you have to "season" it IF it's brand new. Buy one at a garage sale, already "seasoned." Otherwise, every time you use it, you have to oil it and get it to the point where it doesn't "rust" when you wash it. Nevertheless, it's WORTH IT -- you end up with a family heirloom that you'll find you use more than any other equipment in your kitchen!
