How can I be faithful to my Poblano beanpot when Bram comes along and produces this gorgeous little number in Egypt? All the perfumes of Araby cannot hide the stench of my betrayal! I've been using it weekly since it arrived.

Just over two quarts, it's fine for a pound but perfect for half a pound of heirloom beans. It has a nice stable bottom and a much more finished look than our regular "rustic" pot. There's no glaze and of course no worries about lead. You can check out this gem here and you tell me if I'm wrong for being just a little smitten with this new pot. I promise to return to my old favorites, sooner or later.
