I seasoned it some time back...but never used it ......so Last night we did a beef stew in it..being 10" one....seemed quite deep....it looked deeper than the 4.5qt cast iron ones we have.

For stability as covered by Derek and LG in another thread....I riveted a saddle to the lid....worked great using CO lid lifter........the white inside isnt ash its GF flour

I'd love to be dipping some crusty bread into that gravy !

The 'saddle' on the lid was a good idea.

What kind of racks have you got over the heat beads?
Are they recycled from an old stove or something like that, or specifically made for the job?

The judge's decision is final... unless the 3rd umpire is called for... or a facebook campaign goes viral !!!

Shop shelves - of course! I thought the racks looked familiar but couldn't quite place them.
Brilliant bit of recycling. I'll keep my eye on the shopping complexes next time we have hardwaste Wink

Nice looking stew there DK and if i may say so looks like its time for a lemon tart judging by the lemon tree in the background of the first pic.
I have had a bedourie for ages but don't use it that much, might be time for a stew Wink

Aart........I measured my cast iron 4.5qt
the base is 9.3/4" wide at top ..8" wide at bottom...4" high

The Bedourie is 10" wide straight sides....and 5" high

I'm still so unmetric.....so I was right...the Bedourie is slightly bigger........Rosie said she used same amount of food as she used in CO.....and said it didnt look like much Roll Eyes
