Hi, Jim. Mine rusted after several years in storage. I did everything I could at home, but I'm a girl with not much upper body strength, so when it comes to scouring off rust with elbow grease, I was exhausted after hours & it made little difference. One looked okay, but everything tasted like iron. I recently relocated, so would have had to leave them behind anyway, so it's fine.
In any event, none of it was superior quality or pricey... all Lodge. Maybe someday I'll get another Dutch oven. Nothing better than a roast & potatoes in a cast iron pot. Right now, I live in a 4th floor walk-up... I'm not going to carry one up the stairs.
Sounds like you've got a lovely collection. I'm sure your son will love your gift. At the moment, I've got to economize & live minimalistically.
Thanks for the help, Everyone.
