I have two
The Dutch Oven and the smaller one as well.
Awesome for making soup/stews. Awesome.
But impractical for a frying pan. Like cast iron, too heavy.
I dont have a problem with the weight but you're right about what they do best.
They make great Dutch Ovens and stew pots. We do have their large oval fry pan that we use to blacken fish,it's works really well for that application.
