Last Tuesday after I finished our grocery shopping I stopped at the local Goodwill Thrift Store just to do some "grazing." I looked at this and that and didn't see anything that really struck me until...
On one of their "housewares" racks I spied what appeared to be a large rectangular clay baker with its top. Hmmmm, better look more closely. We have a clay baker but it's a smallish round one. I've really coveted a Romertopf one for years but never could justify the expense for something I might not use very often.
Picked it up. Inspected it. "Dinged" it with my knuckle to see if there was any evidence of any cracking. It was nearly pristine. Don't think it had been used much or at all. No chips, crazing or cracking.
Then, on the top and the bottom, in nice big letters "Romertopf." Yeah, rah!! Then...the kicker. It was only $3. I couldn't get it into my cart fast enough.
I've cleaned it up and I honestly think it has never been used. It's the 4.2-quart size and I can't wait to use it.
