If you’re gonna cheap out, then just get a Lodge Dutch oven. When I don’t use my le creuset (definite workhorse in my kitchen), I also have 2 Staubs, 3 sur la table ones and a Martha Stewart one that I’ve yet to unbox…I know I bought it because it was on sale and I liked the color but I don’t remember what color that was. I’m cleaning up my kitchen storage area and the amount of cook/bakeware I have for not being a pro should be criminal. In addition to all that shit, there’s 7 Bundt pans of various sizes, 8 cake pans, an angel food cake pan, 2 tart (one round, one square) plus 4 minis, mini, regular and jumbo cupcake pans, cheesecake pan, a lasagna pan, 6 loaf pans (i either kept buying 8’s when i needed 9’s or vice versa), 2 brownie pans, perforated bread pan, a Pullman loaf pan, no less than 10 cookie sheets from 1/4 to full sheet sizes and a couple of stone ones.
Let’s not talk about my cast iron collection and other fancy pans I just had to have. (The demeyere is pretty gorgeous though)
They're telling me on here that if you are over 400 lbs, I should ask you out.
