Thanks for taking the time to write. So glad you're all enjoying the beer bread and beer bread mix idea--and that I could help with your holiday gift lists!<BR/><BR/>Hi Rurality,<BR/>Great to hear from you. I'm so bummed that Amazon keeps selling out of these pans. You'd really think that at this time of year (and with them half price!) they would have ordered about three million of them.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully they'll be back in stock soon. According to Amazon you can order items as late as December 17th with Free Super Saver Shipping and they'll arrive before Christmas. Regular shipping (which is actually pretty reasonably priced) will get them to you even faster.<BR/><BR/>As for the Dutch oven dilemma. . . That $50 6-quart Dutch oven you mention (click <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000N4WN08/farmgirlfare-20" REL="nofollow"><B>here</B></A> to see it) sounds good and received some great reviews on Amazon. I wasn't familiar with that less expensive line of enamel cast iron until just recently--I think it's new. I, too, saw that it has fewer layers of enamel (I was trying to figure out why the price was so much lower!). Putting on each layer is what is so time consuming when manufacturing the pot.<BR/><BR/>Since I don't have any experience with this line, I can't personally recommend it, but it sounds good, and I'm very happy with the quality of all my Lodge cast iron cookware. The price is definitely right, especially for somebody who isn't sure how much they'll end up using a Dutch oven.<BR/><BR/>As for only being oven safe to 400 degrees, I don't think that will be an issue. I do all my Dutch oven cooking at much lower temperatures--low and slow for hours.<BR/><BR/>You could always trade up later and pass your old one onto a friend or loved one--who will probably be thrilled. Hope this helps! ; )Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-54286756250537966952007-11-30T13:47:00.000-06:002007-11-30T13:47:00.000-06:00They must already be out of stock again - the pric...They must already be out of stock again - the price is almost $12 now. That'll teach me to check your blog more often, huh?!<BR/><BR/>I'm considering the Lodge dutch oven you wrote about too. It's $107 now, still a good deal. But I'm trying to decide if I could make do with the 6-qt version that is on sale for $50 or so. It's got fewer layers of enamel apparently, and won't go to wuite as high a temp in the oven (400)... but it's half the price... let me know if you have any advice!Ruralityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616461213179182660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-12921347757333372422007-11-29T10:51:00.000-06:002007-11-29T10:51:00.000-06:00I love your idea for the homemade beer bread mix a...I love your idea for the homemade beer bread mix and baking pan!

Amazon already has the loaf pans back in stock and on sale for $5.75, plus they're part of the 4-for-3 promotion and are eligible for free shipping on orders over $25.</B><BR/><BR/>That was nice & quick! I was really bummed out yesterday and afraid they'd be out of stock for a week or two again. : )<BR/><BR/>Hi Daisy,<BR/>I've heard from so many readers who made beer bread for the first time and received rave reviews. The other day one poor girl said her husband gobbled the whole thing up and only let her and the kids have a couple of crumbs! ; )<BR/><BR/>People seem especially excited by it if they're not used to being served warm, homemade bread. And while it is denser and different than "regular" bread because it's a quick bread (made with baking powder rather than yeast), you just can't beat the fact that you really will have a warm, crusty, delicious loaf in under an hour--and that even includes cooling time.Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-33084582707581201162007-11-23T21:55:00.000-06:002007-11-23T21:55:00.000-06:00I'm not fond of the crowds, either.

I had a feeling this might happen. Amazon.com has run out of stock of these loaf pans again, so they're temporarily being offered from a different seller at a higher price ($9.95) and aren't part of the 4-for-3 promotion. I'm going to go ahead and leave this post up, and I'll post a notice when they go back to the sale price & promotion. My apologies for any confusion or disappointment.Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-64844649492625671032007-11-23T14:39:00.000-06:002007-11-23T14:39:00.000-06:00can't wait to try the beer bread. alas the bread p...can't wait to try the beer bread. alas the bread pan comes up as $9.95 for me on amazon. it's still a great gift idea.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043539857022615324noreply@blogger.com
