Yup, the thing weighs over 10 pounds. I paid $9 at Ocean State Job Lot for it. Wouldn't you know. But I still keep my thin traditional steel one for vegetables. Teh cast iron I feel is more suited to searing meat and making the masala for Indian stews. Lodge makes them, so does Le Creuset, if you have a couple hundred smackers kicking around for the pretty enamel...
