      Nice cookware is expensive and worth it though. I mean that's really fucking expensive for ONE pot but I got a $500 stainless steel set for real cheap when i was working retail (it went clearance and I stacked discounts to llike 230 dollars) and they're so nice. I think unless I take a hammer to them they're going to be basically perfect forever

      Enameled cast iron is pretty pricey, but it's good shit. It's got the durability of cast iron with the convenience of non-stick.

      She went ahead and bought the Stanley cup of Dutch ovens. The one that's more of a status marker than a cooking pot.

      Edit: L for me, I am wrong and uninformed

        Not even. She bought a regular Le Creuset 14 oz cocotte which is just a nice normal sub-$50 Dutch oven, not even one of the $300 ones. Currently on sale for $36 on the manufacturer website with free shipping. Not exactly extravagantly overpriced.

        If you want to criticise something, go after the kind of overpriced $160 pan

        Show

        Or better yet, the extremely overpriced matching serving bowl that costed $367

        Show

        She basically just went on an average Wiilliams-Sonoma shopping trip, which is for upper middle-class suckers sure but like ultimately who gives a shit if someone pays double for some cookware?

          Thanks for the info; Big L for me.

          As for double price for cookware; I'm ngl if I'm experiencing unprecedented CoL, have no job or housing security, and have no prospects for the future (all of which are entirely out my control) I would be kinda mad if my VP decided to buy some bougie shit. After all, my money is paying for that lifestyle and not my or other's survival.
