Yeah, a Le Creuset is actually legitimately nice, just kinda overpriced in the same way that a KitchenAid is, because they're mostly wedding gift type things. I think part of what fucks people up about them is that Le Creusets are basically always bought with a huge discount, received as a gift, or gotten secondhand. The MSRP is like $450, sure, so when you google it it seems like a massively expensive thing, but people usually pay like half of the MSRP and then a huge chunk people who actually have them either got them as a gift for a major life event, inherited it, or found it secondhand. And they last forever, I think my parents have one from the 1940s.

Don't pay $450, get one secondhand for like $50 or $60, it's awesome and is absolutely worth it.
