Cringe, just steal everything retard. What are you a faggot? Do you like cucking yourself by spending your hard earned money that you were personally given by mr. Shekelstein, and you aren't even going to appreciate the fact that he gave you so much of it? Shake his hand, say thank you, and suck his fat kike cock because you're a dumb worthless stinky nigger.
You're a dumb gorilla nigger, you are in fact the blackest gorilla ape subhuman nigger in the entire jungle.
Ooga booga do you like swinging in the jungle trees and stuffing your nigger ape mouth full with bright yellow jungle bananas.
Can your monkey brain even comprehend what I am saying or are you completely brain-dead?
I am surprised that you even managed to type something out with your 20 iq ape nigger brain, even with how abhorrently retarded it was.

>>14115269
I inherited a full Le Creuset set, and they are absolutely standout cookware. My grandparents bought them on sale years ago.
Don't see the problem really.
OP is just a seething poorfag

>>14115376
That's like saying bar of gold is a standout paperweight. So is a rock from my backyard.

>>14115408
This is a totally retarded analogy, it makes no sense whatsoever. Great job anon.

>>14115376
Enameled, yeah. But what the op posted is just bog standard cast iron. That shit should be dirt cheap.

>>14115422
>But what the op posted is just bog standard cast iron.
that's black enamel you tard.

>>14115421
Both do literally the exact same thing and one is expensive and the other is free, or sometimes just really cheap. Idiot american.

>>14115437
Is it? Usually they will say somewhere in the description since that's a major selling point. I was just going by what it said in the picture. Anyway the second one he posted is definitely just bog standard cast iron, they're taking the piss with that price.

>>14115453
Top one is. "Satin black". The lodge is bare iron though and still $270.

>>14115461
Yeah, like I said I didn't realize it was enameled. Second one shouldn't be even half that expensive, though.

>>14115444
>a rock from my backyard does the same job as a le creuset pan
wtf? dude youre fucking demented

Are you retarded or just messing with me.

>>14115478
I'm trans btw if that helps

>>14115269
Sounds like you don't really understand the comparative value of money. People who buy things like that don't register that it's "expensive", because the overall amount they spend on it compared to what their net worth is means it's a non-issue and whether or not it's quantifiably "better" than something more basic is irrelevant. It's the same reason people will buy a Mercedes or BMW over a Toyota, even though in most practical aspects they're exactly the same thing.

>>14115478

It's a luxury item made in France not some cheap ass chinese knock off

>>14115502
Producing such a simple product isn't even expensive in Europe. It's just overpriced af, but people still seem to buy it.

>>14115541
that's quality materials and fine design but feel free to use chernobyl-grade chinese stuff

>>14115269
I have a Staub, they're even more expensive. I bought it because it's a status symbol. Regular cast iron especially Am*rican cast iron is cringe. Enameled is shit because the performance is absolute trash, so it's really only useful for baking bread. But every kitchen needs one so that's why I have it.

I do most of my cooking on copper.
>>14115770
>dey took me jerrrrbs
Should have stayed in school, Tanner

>>14115770
Just because something is made in a specific region doesn't mean it's made out of good or bad materials. You often can get products from the same company that are made in Europe or Asia and the differences are marginal.
Cast iron is still the cheapest material you can make cooking ware from so 500€ for a few kg of iron is still a knock off.

>>14115802
With 500$ you pay import, customs, decent wages and health coverage for workers in France so not cheap, quality iron, enamel, design, quality molds and machinery allowing complex designs, accessories, a well known brand...
These fuckers already cost a lot in France, there are special sales in the factory every year and people rush from all over the world to grab stuff at half the price.
It's costly for all that but you know you'll have it forever

>>14115886
it's a lump of iron, frenchman.

Just grab a pyrex casserole dish, it'll do fine for your amateur cooking, if you need to brown or saute anything just use a pan and transfer, you aren't looking for michelin stars

>>14115897
Yeah and Mona Lisa is just colored paste on wood, gamin.

fuck you fag this is a Laotion basket weaving forum, lurk more

>>14115906
You think your LeCreuset was hand crafted by one of the greatest artists in human history?
It's not a one-of-a-kind painting by a true master, you dumb fuck. It's more akin to a rolled up poster of that same artwork. Those like ten bucks.

>>14115938
Added value fuckface, you take raw materials and turn it into a valuable manufactured item.
What is it that you can't grasp there?
A boat is merely a glorified cut down tree by your logic.
Have you ever bought a cheap screwdriver then compared it to high-end stuff?
Stick to Wallmart grade shit pot, I don't even own a Le Creuset but at least knw why they're so expensive and I don't throw a tantrum about it

>>14115965
>defending overpriced "luxury" items

>>14115938
This. It's a cheap product made from machines not some hand painted porcelain. For that money you could buy some actually expensive copper pots.

Le Creuset is good, if expensive, cookware. I have a number of their frying pans. If you don't have the money to justify it, buy something cheaper.

No need to be mad :-)

Good enamel is expensive.

If you think that's pricey, never look up pricing on enamel oven/range units.
Pic related for example is a $60,000+ enameled oven

I'm done arguing with people like you

>>14116275
It'a crock pot not a space shuttle. All the iron has to do, is getting hot. Only part that matters is the enamel.

>>14115487
A Merc S-Class is substantially nicer to be in and to drive than a Camry, though. That Le Creuset is probably exactly the same as any other dutch oven.

>>14115269
Literally no one who buys La Creuset is a good cook

no one. just dilettantes with more money than sense.

people will always be poor because they spend money on worthless shit like this

>>14115965
You're missing the point because you're a retard, retard.
If the boat is carved out of a log by an old grizzled Indian with a flint axe I understand that's expensive.
If it's mass produced by a robot it should be cheap. That is the point of mass production, and Le Creuset is a mass produced item.
You are massively overpaying for something that a machine shat out when you could easily buy something much cheaper that was shat out by another machine just like it.

Nobody is trying to argue that a cast iron pot should cost exactly as much as its weight in iron.

>>14116337
god I fucking hate talking to poor people
fuck off

>>14116308
Different irons heat, keep and spread the heat differently.
Atomic plant grade steel isn't the same steel that you use for cutlery.
Doesn't mean it's a 1000 time the price but it matters

>>14115269
It's likely women and people who buy that as wedding gifts.

>>14115269
One knows that you have to buy something, so throw some money at it. It's doesn't matter so much what it is, but some pots and pans can't be too bad.

>>14116275
The requirements for cast iron cookware

- hold a season

that's it. you have to royally fuck up the casting process to get a piece of cookware that can't do that. If it cant and has pitting you can use an angle grinder on it anyway. You can make an argument for buying a more expensive version of many other kitchen items but cast iron is not one of them.

>>14116322
>Sous-chef thinks he's hot shit
Come back when you're a proper chef

I don't see the point of enameled cast iron, it's just something that can possibly chip and look shitty. For what benefits? You can cook tomato sauce for ages without damaging the seasoning?

>>14116343
I'm not poor. In part because I don't waste money on retarded shit.
You reek of nouveau riche

>>14116382
if you use the heat on your stove properly with them, it's non-stick, and no seasoning required, or nasty chemicals leeching into your food.
and no it doesn't chip easily, at least the 30 year old set i have has no chips at all.

>>14116396
>nasty chemicals

>>14116404
yeah, you know the shit in cheap non stick pans.
and why are you posting pictures of your wife, that;s not cool man

>>14116382

>>14116267
what the actual fuck
Do people actually buy this shit?

>>14116396
I'm talking about cast iron not CIA teflon flake mind control. There's no point in enameled cast iron.

>>14116382
they amazing at holding heat. once you have food simmering or braising you can turn the heat right down and it will stay simmering real nice.
so they real efficient in that way

>>14116421
>There's no point in enameled cast iron.
i just told you the point, but whatever, poorfags aren't known for their reading comprehension

>>14116432
no you didn't you idiot american.

>>14115269
imagine being retarded enough to spend more than 50 bucks on cast iron and enamel

>>14116442
rent free

>>14116417
can you not do this with bare iron?

>>14115279
Huh?

>>14116465
braising is done with an acid over a long period of time.

If done in standard non-enameled cast iron, you're likely going to have iron leech into your dish, giving it an iron-y taste.

With a good enough seasoning layer you'll probably be okay for an occasional braise, but a regular braise would eventually strip the seasoning off and expose the iron underneath.

>>14116419
yah my fiancee's dad has a range similar to that. it's p sick desu.

also love the assblasted poorfags itt. expensive cast iron doesn't negate the existence of cheaper ones lol. u can still buy the cheap ones. leave staub/le creuset for ppl who care about craftsmanship and allowing the companies to pay their workers good wages

>>14116486
still, $60,000 seems like a joke for an oven.

I mean, i'm sure it's nice, and the color options are interesting, but god damn that's two new cars, NICE cars.

>>14116486
t. silver spooner out of touch with reality

Popularity has the opportunity to inflate it's value!

>>14115269
It is superior cookware, and that's what you pay for. My mom bought one in 1985 and she still uses it to this day. And it still works wonderfully. You can get a cheaper one but the enamel may start to chip off after a few years. The beautiful thing about the free market is that you have a choice.

>>14115269
The same boomer yuppie scum who made fly-fishing ridiculously expensive in the 80s. In 1980 you could buy a Sage flyrod for a couple hundred bucks and by 1984 it was like $500. Yuppies are fucking cretins. Thankfully money can't actually buy a brain or a skill so I still can laugh at these no talent hacks and their $5k worth of gear as they fumble around and not catch fish. Then ask me what I'm using. I'm using my head you fucking NPC scum.

>>14115269
That is black enamel, not bare cast iron. I understand it is extremely overpriced, but don’t think it is just a cast iron pot. My enameled pot is the best thing in my kitchen. The other day I roasted a chicken in it, then I boiled bones in it, then I made soup in it, then I ate that soup with a loaf of bread in it. I got a cheap one from amazon, but if I had to spend $1000 on it in order to have one, I would.

>>14116551
you can literally see thumbnails of the thing with the lid off in the OP. it is the same standard white enamel that you find in any of these things. holy shit

Only retards pay premium for a brand name.

>>14115541
they have a rock solid lifetime warranty. also the only place you can find enameled cookware not made in china basically.

>>14115775
staub are less expensive generally

>>14115271
even this is retarded
iron currently sits at $.04 a pound, you can buy 3 tons of iron for the same price as that pot

imagine paying thousands of percent mark up on an item because someone melted it into a mold for you

>>14115279
I hope this is bait

>>14116562
I know. That’s why I bought a cheap one. You can go spend $2 million on a car, and some people will, but no one has to. Complaining about what people with lots of money spend their money on is dumb. Why do you care?

>>14116509
tbf it's my fiancee's family not mine. it's rly nice to cook on though

>>14116508
it's a case of priorities i guess. some ppl just decide to invest a bit more in stuff like that. they built the house almost entirely around the kitchen/dining/living area

>>14116590
Here in Germany Fissler also sells made in France (i bet it's made in the same factory as Le Creuset or Staub or because it's cheaper to produce in France) or Germany pots with enamel. Still not even quite as expensive.

>>14115483
Haha you're gonna kill yourself because you'll never pass and I'm going to laugh about it

Do you season cast iron and carbon steel on the outside and underside as well as the inside or is the guide I found just dumb? What's the benefit of doing so when food isn't going to touch it?

>>14116703
the benefit is you don't have a place for chips to start, there is no hard edge between unseasoned and seasoned because the entire surface is seasoned, including the handle.

The other reason is because otherwise you have a non-uniform color.

>>14116669
lurk more newfag

>>14116709
Makes sense but the underside that's directly on the heat source doesn't affect it in a significant way? While it's a very thin layer I could imagine it acts as isolation between the carbon and the heat?

>>14116712
i'm also gay btw not sure if that's important

>>14116721
>While it's a very thin layer I could imagine it acts as isolation between the carbon and the heat?
not enough to matter, cast iron is already shit at absorbing heat, it's why you're supposed to properly preheat your cast iron before trying to sear something in it, otherwise you'll have cold spots.

>>14116745
Thanks senpai.

>>14116634
i'm just saying it's not space age french engineering black enamel crafted by master artisans. it's the same shit as any other pot and the anon i was replying to is crazy to try to justify this blatantly untrue "feature" as a reason for the ludicrous price

>>14116801
You fucking idiot. I wasn’t justifying the price. I was stating that it is black enamel and not a bare cast iron pot, so comparing the price of the two at all is stupid since they are two different items.

>>14116103

Care to prove that this enameled pot is absolutely similar to a 25$ ali-express one?

You're getting scammed and fairly deserving it

>>14116907
what a bargain :^)

>>14116855
Are you expecting to be provided the chemical analysis and manufacturing specifications for a bunch of pots because you can't cope with the fact that you got played for a bunch of money and could have the exact same results with any fucking enameled dutch oven?
Are you expecting to receive evident that the french to use exotic materials and meteorite iron to make their pots and the smelly unwashed competition that can afford to sell their 25$ dutch ovens make them by stealing the Chernobyl sarcophagus for parts and melting it down in their back yard and enameling them with crushed up spark plug porcelain from stolen soviet cars and spit?
How hard can one person fail to cope?

>>14116982
how can someone get so mad at a lump of iron

>>14116982
so to be clear you're saying there's absolutely no difference between that classic 200€ Le Creuset pot and a 25€ mystery brand from Lidl?

Jesus Christ, you Chinese manufacturers are really starting to panic, aren't you? Absolutely terrified that people are going to turn away from your disposable shit and invest in actual quality.

When you're so over-confident of your trolling prowess you agressively take an obviously wrong position.

Is it stressful on the enamel cast iron to repeatedly use it for baking at high temps? Baking bread fwiw.

>>14117715
good quality enamel wont have an issue, but cheaper shit will probably start cracking if done too much or with quick changes in temp.

Who the hell do you think you are? You’re any kind of cook? Anybody know who you are? Maybe evrybody else wants to enjoy the food and cooking. This is one of the most important boards in 4channel and who are you? Who are you? You miserable presumptious no talent. You’re no chef. A chef respects the silence, it serves the foundation of creativity. You obviously don’t have the talent. You don’t have enough respect for yourself or other people, or know what it means to respect yourself. In cooking or any form of creativity. And I’m an Culinary Institute of America graduate. Sucker. And the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts in Texas. You suck. You’re a no talent. If you really have talent, go practice. And then get yourself a restaurant, instead of ruining the day for everybody down here. You disgrace. You are everything that’s gone wrong in this board. You’re a self consumed, no-talent, mediocre piece of shit. And I’ve earned my right to say it. Okay? In 1995, I worked with Marco Pierre White. Who the fuck are you? I knew Gordon Ramsay from 2001. Who the fuck are you? You’re nothing. You are nothing. And you will never be anything. Never. How dare you? You miserable, mediocre nothing. Shame on you. You crack a stupid little smile, you little pimp. Go learn to cook. You’re bland. You can’t even season a fucking steak.

Does the oven cook your food faster than a 1-5k oven?

>>14119359
no, but most manufacturers let you send in a custom color swatch to match the enamel to your kitchen aesthetics.

You're paying about 75% for brand/status, 15% the actual parts/components, and 5% is some schlub that's gonna work with you to make sure it's made EXACTLY to your specifications, color, range top configuration, shipping timeline, etc.

Depending on the recipe, efficiency does mean faster, but there are other factors that go into well made products. Ease of use (which entails cooking and cleaning), Power Consumption, and lastly aesthetic. So many times I've seen nice toys in the hands of inept people and just suffered in silence.

naw they're poorfags for thinking staub/le creuset are ridiculous when there's clearly overhead factored in to allow for all components of the production/supply chain to be fairly compensated. i agree that the range is over the top but it's not my money. seems a little judgemental to say that that's being dumb with money, no? theoretically they could just not have a car and the cash flow redistributes that way.

>>14119359
not noticeably, but there is a lot more consistency on temps. also it's beautiful to see irl if it's well implemented. i don't cook on it extremely often, since they insist on cooking for us whenever we're over. kinda hilarious since he still uses lodge skillets from time to time

>>14115269

>>14115269
I'd pay extra to know the product I'm using to cook with isn't made of chinesium.

>>14119197
It is a significant enough gap in quality to warrant almost 4 times the price? No amount of full-grain leather interiors or luxury, heated fleshlight attachment under the steering wheel can possibly justify the additional pricing that would otherwise buy you almost three additional Camrys. Let's also not forget all the wonderful additional maintenance fees 'precision German engineering' gets you. There's also demonstrable evidence that the status of a product, alongside its price tag in itself will influence your enjoyment of that thing, so it seems hard to fairly asses how much you enjoy it more without the bias of it costing more money in itself.

And you know what? That's fine. If you like it, that's cool. It's still an incredibly poor use of one's money to pour that much of it into a deprecating asset for the 'luxury' when a modern Toyota will get you 90% of the way for much less. If you have the kind of wealth that you never once have to consciously think about it, you likely don't care. But the problem is that your average S Class buyer is the middle class chud trying to impress the other parents at his son's private school. It's endemic of a larger problem rooted in the increasing consumerism that drives the middle class into debt slavery. So yeah, fuck your Le Creuset pots.

Just the cooking world. It's hard being the only Beyonce in a kitchen full of Michelles

hows that backyard smelting operation going, anon?

it's quite simple. creuset = reddit.

Le Creuset is super good. Grown overpriced over the years because of the brand but it will still last you a lifetime.

>>14120366
>it will still last you a lifetime and I am gay

Any cast iron cookware will last a lifetime.

I’m not saying an S-Class is a good purchase (though most people lease them anyway) or that it isn’t overpriced compared to what it costs to manufacture. I was just trying to say that with cars at least you’re getting -something- for your extra money when you buy a luxury brand. With these stupid pots you get nothing. It’s just fucking iron either way. We’re pretty much on the same page.

pee pee poo poo iron

>>14115376
he's a seething poorfag and that price isn't american dollars

For the RRP of that le creuset piece I could buy a 1200mm diameter one of pic related. A fucking massive witches cauldron.

Budget enameled cookware chips.

>>14121501
How are you supposed to use that thing, on an open fire?

>>14121501
>>14121501
And it would be a 1000% better flex than having some faggoty Le Creuset piece.

>>14121520
Yeah. Camp ovens. I think the little ones are used for other stuff though.

>>14121528
Yeah I think they look awesome. I'd buy a medium sized one just as a piece of furniture/ table decoration.

At Trump's Tariffs House
It's on the verge of closing they're going all out

>>14121622
Oh yeah, the pednant shit comes out, still seething becuase Trump beat clinton.

>>14121501
You'll look as cool as all the nerds who bought leather jacket and profiled sunglasses after Matrix came out

>>14120094
honestly maybe I should start it up and sell cookware for cheap

fuck the industry trying to get away with charging hundreds for trash metal

>>14115279
Shut up bitch.

>>14121634
Some of those old good ones like Wagners cast irons kick ass. The best places to find those are in estate sales.

>>14121634
Hand me downs from family as well.

>>14121627
>prices is up 250% in his country
>fucking frogs how dare they!!! Maga kek

>>14121679
That's likely becasuse of hipsters and homosexuals.

What the hell is Dansk cookware and why have I, a Dane, never heard of it?

>>14121630
idiot fag

>>14121723
I find their tripod lids funny but are you supposed to remove the hot lid to put it on your table and then rest the pot on it?

Sounds like someone's mad as hell that a Euro brand is way more valuable than America's Proud ™© Genuine True Valor® Support Our Troops©®™ Lodge

LMAO Imagine spending that much on a French overpriced piece of iron. The Richfag cope in this thread is off the chart. Lodge makes the same damn thing for around $60 (which if we are being honest, is probably overpriced as well).

>>14122151
LMAO being that mad your country cannot produce finely crafted enough prestigious products to have a selling price increased of 250% on foreign markets.

I'd like to see your results on how much of a Mercedes s-class's build is overhead or opted for unnecessarily more expensive but equivalent materials / components. I'm always fascinated by that kind of work.

>>14122371
merceds is full of shit. getting them to install an official mercedes dashcam was nearly 2 grand.

>>14122269
I say buy what you wanna buy, but realistically speaking if the function or performance isn't any better than the cheaper alternative, you got jewed. Aesthetics is important, sure, but only so far as there will be time and place to appreciate it. With cookware I don't see that.
