They are for me the best peeler, the only peeler there is. Takes a very finite amount of of whatever you're peeling off. They're very easy to get. They're nice and cheap to use and we just use them all the time.

They're the only ones that we use in the restaurant ever.

Staub's flat self-basting lid is fantastic

widest range of sizes. These frying pans go from like a little 4 and 1/2 in individual egg or pancake pan, which is really cute, up to a big monster 14-in pan. Um, if you're cooking for a real crowd, which we have it, and we we do use it fairly often.
Since chipped enamel is one of the most common issues with Dutch ovens - knowing you're covered even a decade down the line makes the high price tag easier to justify.

If price is the one thing holding you back, check out Le Creuset's outlet stores. They have over 60 locations across the US where you can find factory seconds, discontinued colors, and overstocked items at significant discounts.

The upside there though is that um they are closing these out and you can get some deals on these, but you're going to have to jump on them because they're not going to be around forever.
So you got the L Crusade over 400. You got the stove around 300. You've got the Lodge USA model a little less than 200. And then that Chinese made Lodge a little less than 100. And that makes a lot more sense.
They are going to be discontinued, so there are some deals on them now.

Three judgements rest on this sentence:
And with Hamilton Beach and AUCMA, the repair could easily cost more than the mixer is worth.
we don't work with them anymore so much because they're you can't buy them anymore, unfortunately. But these are great pans if you can buy them.
