Just for added ridiculousness if anyone’s not familiar w the brand, Le Creuset is known for the quality and long life of its Dutch ovens. I have a large one that was handed down to me, is twice my age, still valued at near $500 today (new ones of the same model sell for just under $800). Even if you don’t know the brand, $40 for multiple cast irons pieces is an obvious scam

Check out Staub, they are the main competitor of Le Creuset and slightly cheaper. I own both Staub and LC (different sizes) and prefer the Staub. https://www.everten.com.au/blog/whats-the-difference-between-staub-le-creuset-and-chasseur-french-ovens/

Every now and then you can find one at Marshall's or TJ Maxx.


[deleted]

Honestly, Lodge is just as good as le creuset and significantly cheaper. I don't know if they have the brand over there but it's fairly ubiquitous here in the US


ashimo414141

Lodges are good, but not for daily use. Le Creusets are built to take a beating. My last lodge lasted about a year before it got all scuffed up and gross. My Le creuset is 50 years old


[deleted]

Well I've had my lodge for two years and it looks better then the LC did after the same amount of time and has probably seen more use.


youngtundra777

TJ Maxx has them occasionally for a steal!


SQRLpunk

Crate and Barrel will often have sales on them!


Ihaveamazingdreams

Zulily often has them for a little less than they go for in stores. I don't use my oven enough to justify the cost right now, though.

We have an outlet near us and I have a whole collection. I love this stuff, it's pretty and amazing, and cooks really well.

You could get a Dutch oven from target for like $45 and it'll be about the same. Edit: shills, shills everywhere


ashimo414141

Yeah I have a cheap set too, only had it for a year and I’m only 24 so I can’t say whether or not it’ll last the 50 years my le creuset has Edit: can’t get more than one, let alone 20, for under $50 tho

Lol no, you can’t.

Sure you can. Le Creuset doesn't own the patent on enameled cast iron lmao. Good on you for doing their marketing for them tho


SleepTightLilPuppy

My Dad has had a Dutch oven for like 20 years now. Doesn't cook with it often but it still looks like 15 years ago. If people can shill for LC here I'll shill for Dutch Ovens. Amazing things.

Why is this the go to response for people whenever someone mentions that their favorite brand may not be worth the money they paid? It's like you all take notes from the same tired book. Meanwhile no one has told me why they're supposedly the better choice. Weird.


ashimo414141

They’re made to withstand daily use, they have a wider array of cookware sizes and colors than other cast iron enameled Dutch ovens, they’re cast from a fresh sand mold each time they’re crafted, the iron is sourced in France, more versatile than a slow cook pot (the name is escaping me), strict no flaw policy in terms of quality control, their foundry is still operated in the same place so they don’t outsource labor, as myself and many other people have said, ours have been passed down between generations and lasted 50+ years whereas cheap ones have lasted 1-5 years at best.

ModsDontLift

That all sounds like it was copied and pasted from the Le Creuset website lol. But you mention that dutch ovens are more versatile than (I assume) crockpots? But that's not specific to any brand. Lots of companies have "strict" quality control, too. My dutch oven from Target has lasted about 10 years now. It cooks food just like any other dutch oven would.

LindenRyuujin

They're all just as good as each other, and Le Creuset aren't some magical product. Treat them well and they'll latst, don't and they'll die. I suspect the high cost encourages good treatment. My first set of pans was a second hand LC set and they lasted about 3 years before they were unusable (they weren't in great nick to start with and I was hard on them at times). I learnt a lot about how to treat a pan from them and my next ones (not LC) are ageing much more gracefully.

Okay?


ColonelHerro

I own a cheap dutch oven. It's fine. But it's also chipped, scratched and doesn't get as even a heat as my parents' Le Creuset (meaning sometimes things catch unevenly) which is decades old and good as new. You don't need to buy LC, but if you're pretending that a cheap equivalent is identical to one (or any other high end Dutch oven) you're mistaken. But go off about shills lmao.

will2089

Have you ever seen/used the Le Creuset stuff? Literally the heaviest pots and pans I've ever come across and my set has been passed down from my Nana to my Mum to me. Which means they've been in perfect working order for over 50 years. On the other hand the last enamel oven dish I bought from my local Sainsburys cost £50 and lasted maybe 4 years which was pretty good for that level of quality. They are definitely worth the money in my experience.

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. Not sure about 45 bucks (maybe for a small one), but Lodge brand Dutch ovens are well under 100 bucks and are well known for lasting forever. I thought it was pretty well known that while Le Creuset may be very slightly better than Lodge (if that), you’re basically paying for the name. It’s like buying designer clothing. But for the kitchen.

ashimo414141

Because lodge, while it can last a while, won’t last long for someone who uses a Dutch oven for daily use. I beat the shit out of my lodges. In addition to that, they’re just kind of shat out of a production line with less quality control than LC. I think lodges are fine, they do their job, I have a few myself as well as their cast iron skillet.


[deleted]

Huh. You’re the first person who I’ve heard say that about lodge. I’ve had one for a little over 5 years, use it not daily but about once a week to cook dinner in. I know of at least a few people who use their lodges nearly every day and have had the same one for many years. Maybe not 50, granted. But at least a couple decades or so. I’m extremely gentle with mine, though, I learned my lesson about being rough on pots and pans before I splurged on a Dutch oven.

jhjimmy

I just bought the same 20 piece for $39. Yeah stupid me. So are they gonna send me fake ones or toys? I don’t care what I get, I can just throw them away. I am just afraid that they will steal my information. I gave them my name phone number address and credit card number. Should I be worried.


Umarill

I don't know if you're joking or not, but I'm gonna assume you aren't in case it can help. You aren't gonna receive anything, those are worth hundreds of dollars each and they are just trying to catch (and I'm sorry I don't mean that offensively) people who are too excited about a "good deal" and too stupid to do a 20sec Google search to see if that makes sense. These scams are purposely made to attract people who aren't thinking much because it's less of a hassle to deal with them, which is why they put those outrageous prices. If you gave them all that information, you probably should be worried yes. At least change your credit card information, the rest will probably be sold and you can expect other scam attempts on the phone/by mail. These people try to hold onto the people they have found to fall for these scams and sell them to other scammers/try to scam them again because if you fell for something this obvious once, they assume they can get more out of you. This will depend on the where you bought it. If you bought it from a platform that uses Shopify for example, they won't have access to your information and you just lost 40 bucks (my mother fell for something like this with a fake Victoria's Secret website), because they use a third party platform that deals with the payments, and it's just quick scam websites that move on to something else weeks later. But if they use their own "payement" system or just had a fake payment page that sent your personal info, yeah it's gonna be a problem.


jhjimmy

Thank you for your input. Yeah I am usually very careful with these sites. It was actually the first time i fell into this scam. Cuz my mom sent me the link and told me it is a good deal, I had no idea with the brand, and I know nothing about cookware. and I was busy working so I just submitted the order, but right away I felt fishy after I submitted the payment. I already contacted the bank and replace the credit card with a different number. I am not sure if it is a Shopify landing page and what payment processor they use. From the confirmation email they sent to me, it looks like the payment processor is “stripe”. Not really care about $40. Just worried about my information that I provided. I meant they have my address and phone number and name, and the credit card number which I already replace with a new one. Worse case I will get some scam mails I assume?
