You can usually pick them up at a decent price. I have also seen medium sized ones at the farm supply stores that run a little over $20. Maybe you <b>will</b> get one as a present.<br /><br />owlhaven, it took me awhile to stop laughing. I wonder how many husbands will here the phrase "I could have got you a capanizing kit like Phelan got her husband" when the grumble over their presents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-86834641256931592452006-10-19T14:47:00.000-05:002006-10-19T14:47:00.000-05:00Ok--so I am telling hubby about the caponizing kit...Ok--so I am telling hubby about the caponizing kit you are buying youe hubby.

There are so many recipes in Cooking Light that call for a dutch oven that I just simply skip over because I don't have one.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558132244688635245noreply@blogger.com
