I was in a La Creuset outlet store today. The roasting pans were on sale for 599$. I looked at the sales person, and told her to fuck herself.
No, but seriously, that shit is so overpriced. It's amazing.

I own one piece of Le Creuset. I got it with a coupon, during a sale, at their factory outlet. Was like 80% off and I still questioned whether it was strictly worth it. Five years in though and I'm pretty happy with it.

It's interesting how there is a product for every budget level. If you want to spend $6, $60, $600, $6000, or $60,000 on a watch you can, and the six dollar one is probably more accurate than the $60K one. I heard an interview with some hollywood star that was talking about his wife who was a model and she was buying some sort of face cream and he offered to buy it for her and then found out it was like $1200 for a 3 oz jar. I'm sure it's very questionable whether that stuff actually does anything that the mega-jug of ponds cold cream at Costco doesn't (and even that is probably overpriced for what it is), but if you've got the money, somebody will help you spend it.

Looking at there site I don't see any for that price? Was it a set or something? Went looking to see what a $500 roasting pan looks like. I have a dutch oven that was $150 30 or so years ago, still looks brand new.

Anyone have experience with using enameled dutch ovens on a glass stove top? One of our favorite pans is starting flake its non-stick coating and I think one of the aforementioned would be a great replacement but I'm worried about it damaging the glass(scratch or worse).
Or, does anyone have good recommendations for a large, high-walled pot that the insides are completely covered in teflon?

I meant to type Dutch Oven, but I typed roasting pan because I'm an idiot. the roasters there were all around 200-300. They seemed to have more expensive things in this outlet than they do on their site.

I've always been pretty happy with Lodge stuff. Their regular cast iron is also made in USA which is a plus in my book but unfortunately their enameled stuff is not, they outsource that to China.
But I fail to see what the Le Creuset enameled dutch oven does that my Lodge won't other than giving all my wife's friends lady-boners.

But the less you use it the longer it will look brand new. I don't think you can afford NOT to buy one.

Clearly price is an indicator of effectiveness/quality!
imo its a combination of that and people wanting to stand out. They want a way to say they are rich/hip/cool/whatever and brand names give them that ability.

Picked up about 4 pounds of tuna steak today at Costco. Someone there had mislabeled it as breaded tilapia for $5.99/lb when the tuna should have been $15.99/lb! Made ceviche with it tonight which was really good, but probably wasn't the best use of the tuna. I've prepped the rest of it for tomorrow night ala Chef John:Food Wishes Video Recipes: Olive Oil Poached Tuna You Can Tuna Fish-- very excited to dig into that tomorrow.
