I got a damaged one for £25. The enamel is dented, but it's still good for breads if I use parchment

It would also work to plant some nice flowers. Not too bad at 25.

Yeah got to be careful with used though, I got a nice commercial grade saucepan at a junk shop last weekend for £3 and it leaks. Only found out after three rounds of scrubbing with bar keepers, too. That's going to be good for flowers, you want some drainage after all.

Yeah used is more complicated.
