I have a similar 8" one by Fissler. Absolutely brilliant. It was free from Tesco with coupons 3 or 4 years ago, and is used several times a week.
What type of cookware do you have?

Are they still selling it? I have two Lidls around here but generally use Aldi as it is literally a five minute walk from me. But in both places they have a very brief window in which to buy cookware and other non-food items.

According to their offers catalogue it is available until the 19th http://www.eoffersuk.com/lidl-offers-1372017-1972017, but our large LIDL very rarely has anything left after the weekend.

I have a mish mash of stuff...Lagostina, Paderno, Le Crueset, a stack of cast iron, Kitchen Aid..no name stuff from the Boer War. One pan that has the handle replaced with 3/4 inch copper pipe(that one is my favorite, actually).
Gimme that orange Dutch oven!! Hah!!

I was going to get one, until I realised I could hardly lift it when it was empty, let alone when it was full of food

Yes. It can get quite heavy. I rarely cook anything in such large batches any more. I prefer to use the smaller ones I have...I was going to get one, until I realised I could hardly lift it when it was empty, let alone when it was full of food

I have some German ones which are lighter and much more suited to one or two people. There is also a matching huge one, which I use mainly on the hob for making stock nowadays (it's a good size for making cider too!), but I have the same problem with that one being very heavy when full. I bought them in 1970 shortly before my daughter was born, and they are still going strong.

Luckily, this 5-qt Lodge Dutch oven has a swing handle to make lifting it easy!!

I go very light and portable on cookware.
Yes, I have some T-Fal. But I've found a problem with it as I like to use those NuWave induction cook tops. T-Fal won't heat on NuWave. I had to purchase the NuWave pots and pans to work with it. The only way I can use the T-Fal on NuWave is to set a NuWave fry pan down first and put the T-Fal pot or pan into it. It sounds kind of counter-productive, but think about it. I have one large stock pot from NuWave and one from T-Fal. If I want to do for example, a large amount of spaghetti sauce and simultaneously cook the spaghetti or vermicelli, using that technique comes to the rescue.
I use a lot of pyrex glass stuff that is microwave safe. Yes, I feel comfortable using a microwave to cook a lot of things. For example, a baked Idaho potato can be managed micro-zapping for 6-7 minutes one side and repeating after flipping for the other. It's fast and easy.

BTW: The NuWave pots and pans clean up just as quick and easy as the T-Fal.
There is a thread not long ago about cooking in the microwave. I've been trying to use i much more. I'll hunt out the thread...
@flyinglentris - here is the thread: https://www.cookingbites.com/threads/microwave-magic.11061/
Tonight's meal features a bowl used for mixing of the filling for my stuffed shells, it is this lovely Pyrex cinderella bowl i just picked up at the thrift store this week...not sure what set it belongs to but it is lovely bright yellow:
Then the shells were cooked in this fabulous stainless steel tri-ply FlavorSeal pot by Cory that my mom bought while still in high school back in the 1950's:
And then they were assembled, cooked and served in this wonderful pyrex spring blossom baking dish:
The pots in the background were not featured in the making of this meal but look so shiny on the cooktop, on the left is a set of pots with a brand of Canadiana which i can not find any info on but are a lovely set of waterless cookware in smaller sizes than my mom's flavorseal set. And the small stainless steel dutch oven on the right is a LustreCraft 5-ply...i buy most my cookware at the thrifts and find some amazing pots. I grew up cooking with waterless cookware so seek out the same at the thrifts.

A lovely colour - but why is it called a cinderella bowl? Not come across that term before.
