I’ve bought a new pot, red, beautiful and enameled. The old one I used to have was cracked. And my two cast Iron pots are not enameled.
So I ended up cleaning that cupboard & sorting pots and pans (not really what I planned to do today). And I have loads. Some from the bottom and back are really dirty & need a thorough clean.
I will have to decide which should go for keeping in the basement. For a single person the amount is ridicules & I’ve not even got to the lids on the top shelf 😱

      I haven’t added it up. Frankly, I don’t want to. ;)

      Fortunately most of it was discounted through their outlet store.

        I was on the fence between their Dutch oven and a Cuisinart that was 1/4 of the price. I ended up getting the Cuisinart. I’m very glad I didn’t get the Le Creuset because the first time I used it, my kid scrubbed it with the chainmail we use for cast iron and put deep scratches in the enamel. Some day I may replace this with the fancy one, but this Cuisinart is doing okay so far.

          You know, there’s nothing wrong with Cuisinart or Lodge for that matter.

          The only reason I went with Le Creuset is the pot in the middle, with the loop handle? That’s my grandmothers from the 1950s. I inherited that one and built out everything around it.

            The Le Creuset is 1-2 pounds lighter if I recall correctly. That’s a big benefit, especially for my tiny wife.
