Look at Mr.Moneybags. Vastly overrated IMO. Get a friend who owns a restaurant and accompany him to the restaurateur-only specialty shop, buy the exact same quality as LC for pennies on the dollar. Not sure if there are shops like this in the US tbqhfamalam.

There absolutely are. Restaurant Equippers, PJP, and Restaurant Depot are the three I know that have brick and mortar stores. PJP has both non-membership consumer quasi-wholesale goods, as well as institutional grade appliances, both in-store and their two websites (one is meant strictly for actual institutions and not average joes).

Cast iron is as straight as a hipster dressed up as a lumberjack, i.e. looks manly, but is incredibly gay.
Um, bro, you can't just use this pan directly, you gotta season it first, bro! No, you can't use regular sunflower seed oil, you should get grapeseed oil, bro! And you need to re-season it every couple of years... no, don't soak it in water, it's gonna rust, bro! But it's not gay at all and actually incredibly manly, cause it's, like, so heavy, bro!

Or you could just use a stainless steel pan.

The shish provides superior control for even heating and it drains away the fat automatically for a heart healthy, high protein meal.

Woks. Versatile as fuck. Literally designed to be used with hell portals. Doesn't cry about dainty seasoning. Feeds billions of people all over East/South East Asia and any part of the world that has an Asian restaurant. Many families have some that are decades old - no brand stamped on and was purchased for peanuts by their grand parents.

Bonus points for this. MIL got me a cast iron wok, between that and my skillet, you can cook everything on this gay earth.

I think the really old ones like the ones I have are just some kind of cheap carbon steel. I don't know what metal they actually are.

Now that I think about it, I don't know what became of my great grandma's woks and pots. She was the best cook in the family, and no one rose to her level. I should have taken up cooking sooner!

Chan Chi Kee for life. If there's one thing the chinks got right, it's this thing. I'd still like to try fancy jap stuff, but can't justify it when I have an indestructible garlic whacker. They say I shouldn't use mine on chicken bones cause the blade is thin, but I do it anyway. It's 10cm worth of blade so I can just resharpen the tiny dents on it and it'll still last a life time.

I am torn on this. On one hand Le Creset shit is super quality in my opinion, and I have never owned a bad piece. On the other hand most of this seems so unnecessary. I feel like the kind of person who buys an entire set of cookware is never going to actually use it. And while I think the red is classic and looks pretty good, thats still... a lot of red.

Also a dutch oven is by far the best and most based of kitchenware.

Le Creusete also makes a really nice teal (Or is it "French blue" as they are based in France?), as I think is also one of their classic colors as I see it just as often as the red in terms of examples. They also have cool emerald green, yellow, orange, white, and even a violet, I think.

You could always mix and match different colors with the Le Creusete line, and have each color serve as a color code for the cookware's purpose, I.e. a blue skillet, red large pot, green sauce pan, etc.

I think the more immediate concern would be cost, as although Le Creusete makes good stuff, that would be quite a large investment in terms of money. The only Le Creusete piece I have is a large skillet in their teal option I got as a Christmas gift from my late grandparents after I requested it.

I recently stumbled across a YouTube short that showcased these copper bottom pots and pans. The first thing that I noticed was how they looked strikingly similar to a couple of random pots that I inherited from my parents and my parents inherited from my great grandmother. Interestingly enough, people seem to really care about these old “RevereWare” pans. I kind of feel bad for treating these guys like shit for my entire life thinking that they were old pieces of cheap metal that overstayed their welcome by 25 years. They have outlived every piece of cookware that my parents and I have ever owned. Anyone else use or remember these?
