Reply to comment by Muncie4 in Le Crueset still BIFL? by pussayforlife

Le Crueset isn't significantly tougher than generic enameled cast iron. Their earthenware also isn't.

Their enameled thin steel cookware is pretty, but I wouldn't want to use that stuff regularly because thin enameled steel always chips a lot and thin enameled cookware burns a lot and you can't scour it or you'll scratch the shit out of the glass and wreck it.

At this point in our timeline where generic enameled cast iron (Lodge, etc) is 1/5th-1/10th the price of Le Crueset or Staub, it's not really worth the cost unless you're going for a photoshoot or specific shapes that aren't generic yet.

The best way to keep enameled cookware nice is to NEVER use a green scotch brite pad or metal. Always use wood utensils and if you need to scratch food off, use a wooden spoon or a blue scotch brite pad.

I don't know any other Le Crueset brand things that are worth looking at, maybe there are some?

I've had my 3.5qt triply saucier for a few years now and I believe it will continue to last.

Nice! I didn't know they made those. Big fan of multi-clad stuff. All of it (even the stuff that's dual-ply and aluminum on the outside) seems to last really well.

I would also add that bar keepers friend pots and pans cleaner is great on Le Crueset and gentle enough it won’t void any warranty. I also recommend the bamboo pot scraper on Marley’s Monsters for cleaning delicate cookware with stuck-on food.

Spelling it correctly helps future people who are searching for opinions on products on this subreddit, making the post more useful overall. It would be nice if people would put in the minimal amount of effort necessary to spell things corright.

But being an ass about it helps no one. Google will autocorrect for them. Your comment was unnecessary

Yes, Google will correct the search term, and then not show the typo that is posted.
