I spent $500(?) on a Staub x Supreme dutch oven when I have a Le Creuset one in the exact same size and color. AMA. :marseyfunko:

The aforementioned Le Creuset

Is farting under the covers a hotbox where you live?

No, but it’s similar enough that I’d thought I’d make a joke using @box’s name and now I’m explaining the joke.

Hot boxing to me was always smoking weed in the car with the windows up. Like a Dutch oven that gets you stoned.

I honestly don’t know how much performance varies. I’ve had the Le Creuset one for 5 years, bought it in college on black friday for like $180, I think they go for $450+ for the 5.5qt.

Mine is 2 years old and was 35 or 40 dollars. It's holding up fine so far, I guess time will tell if the enamel chips or flakes.

Honestly Lodge is getting a lot better. I'm in deep with Le Creuset but I'm not sure it's really 5x better than the cheap stuff, when it's definitely 5x the price.

That's honestly not a terrible price. Staub is really good, and I'd have gone with that instead of Le Creuset if it weren't for the fact that Le Creuset just has so many more colors.

I have about $2k of all clad and $1k of staub/le creuset. I have to stop myself from buying more le creuset bc the green gradient and flame gradient keep catching my eye.

My gf bought all clad too but she sucks at cooking and burns shit onto stainless so I got her to get le creuset.

I got my my wife some Le Creuset but it eventually become something we got way too into. My stainless set is cheap Costco, but I've got probably 20-25 pieces of Le Creuset enameled cast iron and then probably another 20 various stoneware bits. And like 8 of the discontinued mini-jars (even the olive jar with the wood fork). We stopped buying any more like a year ago but it got way out of hand. We could afford it, but it got a bit compulsive there for a minute.

I don't have a lot of vices, but over-priced kitchen stuff is definitely a weakness of mine. I've been weighing out getting a Gaggia Classic Pro even though I mostly use the Keurig these days.

I feel, this doesn’t frick my budget but I hate having a ton of clutter. Is the gaggia similar to the Jura ena 8 I have?

Man, if I ever settle down in a place, one of these is going to be my first purchase. The coffee it produces is so much better than what comes out of the pleb pot

In college I used a moka pot and aeropress, I still use them tbh

Nice machine btw, I'm jealous.

But no, the Gaggia is mostly manual, almost no electronics. The point is that it has almost no bells and whistles, and there's an effort/skill curve. It's the one espresso nerds are like "this is the cheapest espresso machine it's possible to make real espresso in" and it's like $400. Which I can swing no problem. But then, if you want good espresso you need a good grinder and I'd probably be spending another $350 on that. And I can afford it, but it's like, am I really gonna drop like $800 on an espresso machine that takes more work to get less caffeine overall than my $100 Keurig?

The answer is yes, I will. But not yet. Soon though.

I actually want a fully manual press style espresso maker. I already have a Fellow Ode and whatever the frick the kettle is called. From what I understand you can get aftermarket burrs that allow you to get an espresso grind.

I have one with the same layout as the gaggia and it was truly life changing. But it took a year+ to get good consist foam and art results and it's a lot more calories than black coffee.

Really good? What functional difference can there be in this shit- either the enamel goes quickly or it doesn't.

Have relative with unclad cast iron, shit been fine for 40+ years minimum, casseroles think similar age, doesn't put it in the dishwasher, doesn't use steel wool style cleaners, it's fine.

Internet folx be spending hundreds and massaging oil into their pans and treating it like new born babies.

Staub is known for being up there with LC in the enamel lasting multiple generations. Stuff you can give to your grandkids when you die.

I also have a regular cast iron skillet that was my wife's grandmother's. Legit 100 year-old pan, fries like a dream.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

that's my point there isnt a brand name on your grand parents skillet or my relatives stuff, the production techniques and materials science for this stuff was perfected decades and decades ago and isn't that specialist.

It's cool La C make nuclear containers though

For regular cast iron, yeah. LC stuff has been around almost 100 years too though.

The B is for the Boston Red Sox. They were clearing out the 7qt MLB ones a few years ago. I have the 14-piece All Clad copper core set, although I think I would've been just as happy with Kirkland brand. Just seeing that they discontinued it and it was $100 during the close out, holy shit.

Oh I have the same 14 piece copper core set. Honestly I read reviews for the kirkland and people had issues with warping and layer separation.

Also what the frick $100???? Thats genuinely insane. Literally less than a single copper core pan.

Is the enamel black and textured like LC? My dutch oven is from HEB (lol) and the enamel is white and smooth and it doesn't brown like my LC cast iron skillet
