   Is there such a thing as a soup pot with a cast-iron bottom?

   I don't want to buy non-stick pots and inevitably get micro teflon in my food as it deteriorates, and I really like how my cast-iron frying pan works.

   I suppose there are full cast-iron pots, but those would be super heavy and also easy to burn yourself on.

   I suppose it's not possible to make something like this without getting a seam that would inevitably leak?

      Wow, I didn't expect this much feedback on pots and pans. Thank you all, and do keep it coming if you have more to add.

         I'm no expert on cookware, but I'm starting to prefer stainless steel. I'm going to rely on the oil to prevent sticking, so I don't need fragile plastic coatings.
         
         I will look into ceramic coated stainless steel, but for now I just use pure stainless. (There's probably a better quality if you're willing to pay for it. The most recent pan I bought was under $40 for one and it seems to work fine.
         
         Granted, I try to cook with lowered heat anyway, so I am not concerned about melting or loosening the coating.
