This is the one item I would run over to the store and buy again if it ever broke.  I have had mine for over 10 years and it still looks new.  I use it at least once a week for stews, soups or roasts.  I love it.  It cooks evenly, cleans easily and the food does not come out as good when I use a different pot.  Not sure how to explain it, but it does.
