Poor people don’t have Le Cruset cookware. You frequently say you lack funds. Explain

Good catch. You are right. Poor people don't have Le Creuset stuff. I paid about 106,000 dollars for that pan since I found it in a garbage pile on the property when I bought this place. Because I paid so much for that pan, I lack funds. Hopefully that makes sense.Poor people don’t have Le Cruset cookware. You frequently say you lack funds. Explain

I bought a 12 piece non-stick and a 12 piece stainless set of that cookware a couple of years ago. It’s qualify stuff, but it was stupidly expensive and there is no denying that the name is part of the cost. I cook a lot, so I can arguably justify it. I like their enameled cast iron stuff, but I can’t justify the 3X price difference. The labels on my enameled cookware says “Lodge”. My OCD doesn’t like it but the checking account appreciated it

Lots of nice sweaters though. Probably some fern plants on an IKEA desk in the background somewhere too.

If he did he would become a legend just for having such thick skin to be able to read about himself.

I didn't have a stove for about the first three years here so we cooked on a hot plate. That kind of made cooking a turkey challenging....I bought a big dutch oven, the tripod for hanging it over the fire, and for birds, a bayou classic cast iron that holds an 18lbs bird. Thing is like a brick but yeah your boy cooked him a couple thanksgivings over the fire using that beast. All of our stuff is usually second hand but I do have a few Lodge cast iron pieces. Prior to realizing what I had I accidentally used a thrifted Griswold for my lead casting pot.I bought a 12 piece non-stick and a 12 piece stainless set of that cookware a couple of years ago.

Part of me wants some of the “historic” cast iron pieces (Griswold, etc,), but the rest of me knows that it won’t cook my ribeye any better than a Lodge branded cast iron skillet from the big box store. There are some specialty Griswold pieces (deep chicken fryer and a large, covered Dutch oven) that I would write a check for, but for standard stuff, a well-seasoned Lodge works just as well…I didn't have a stove for about the first three years here so we cooked on a hot plate.

On a related note, I’ve been wanting to get the right wheels and pads, break out the angle grinder and throw a mirror finish on a generic Lodge frying pan to see if it makes any difference. They look cool, but

I have a couple well worn generic no name cast iron thrift pieces that are mirror smooth from use. My concrete floor has destroyed a couple items, wife dropped her favorite tortilla pan plus the lid on my chicken roaster cracked from a drop but still works. My bass player gave me a replacement tortilla pan but it's a smaller piece....Part of me wants some of the “historic” cast iron pieces (Griswold, etc,), but the rest of me knows that it won’t cook my ribeye any better than a Lodge branded cast iron skillet from the big box store.

The one nice thing about high dollar cast iron is it's not overly heavy like a lot of the lodge stuff tends to be but tbh I have no issue with Lodge.
