What are your favorite expensive cooking items that are definitely, definitely worth spending prestige dollas on?
I personally enjoy a good thick copper pan.Copper pots are also nice, but far from "worth" it for most people.
>>21677501Again?
>>21677516>3 BMW keysYikes, tripling down on your bad taste huh
Lodge versions of these are $20-35 instead of $200-350.
>>21677501I got a sale Le creuset dutch as a first, so I can only wonder how a lodge is. One day I hope to see one on sale or given away for free so that I could compare. But mine is nice, no complaints, but the fact that the metal knob needs to be specially bought to go over 450F or something seems odd. Never had that need before though.
>>21677501The ninja foodie XL air fryer and grill combo was expensive but i use the air fryer at least once a week. its good for dinner parties where you just want to set and forget a certain portion of the dinner while you cook something else. the grill is pretty horrible compared to a griddle but the air fryer is worth it. it has an attachment that automatically turns off the foodie after the meat reaches a desired temperature so that has been useful for making really fucking thick pieces of meat.The nutribullet is also kind of nice but my bitch of a wife whom I hate always uses it in the morning for blends or breakfast so it's always dirty when I get home.
>>21677543Breakfast on engine, pussy; you won't
>>21677516Everyday until you like it.
>>21677635For sure
>>21677560all the ones I bought this year have the metal 500F knobs on them. Not a black knob in sight.
>>21677609heres my dinner
>>21677501Hestan cookware. I started with (can't remember the brand) whatever chinkbrand triple ply cookware was, then bought a few Made In pieces because of influencers. And both of those were perfectly fine. They work, and can make food just as good. But I recently bought a Hestan sautee pan, and it's just so much nicer in feel. I'm probably going to buy a whole set of the fancy titanium stuff next big sale they do next year after I move.
>>21677543Well, he's using All Clad and Lodge, so I guess he blew all his fun money on repairs.
>>21677501I have a lot of Le Creuset, my parents got a set for their wedding and I grew up using them so a few pieces were top of my list when I got my own place. I also have All Clad stainless. Definitely worth it. I also think a good, high quality immersion blender is worth it as well as a good sharpening set or set of whetstones.
My all clad and Le Creuset collection wasn't expensive at all. Scored it all for 20 bucks at a Mexican yard sale, they had no idea. Shit was new too
>>21677501I got the ~$25 Aldi version of the dutch oven and the french pan, completely faultless except for a slightly worse fit and finish. I've held Le Creuset and I actually preferred the Aldi feel.That said, I'm sure Le Creuset is technically much better, just not 20x times the price better.The De Buyer ranger of hospo pans are amazing value if you can get them at a kitchen supply store.
>>21677737is that fucking non stick
>>21678071That one is, but I have the regular stainless. I didn't notice when I pulled the picture because it took like 10 different tries to find one that wasn't a fucking .webp
>>21677501Victorinox knifes. Not exactly that expensive but a set of good knives is definitly better.Fucking jannie gave me a warning for shitposting when this fucking site is runned by israeli bots promoting troons and niggers
>>21677702Boris? When did you get into cooking?
coffee is technically cooking.
>>21677501I use my le creuset dutch ovens and all clad pans daily, and my LC braiser a few times a week. I've never bought a new item, though. All estate sales or buying them for cheap off white women post covid. However I am currently trying to debate between the 5 qt LC braiser or the all clad 6 qt rondeau
>>21677888>a good sharpening set or set of whetstonesUnderrated
>>21679598beautiful set, what brand? I personally am happy with my moccamaster. >>21679961You already have the LC Braiser why get another when you can get the all clad rondeau?
>>21679598Sweet jail setup. What did you have on the outside?
>>21680773>beautiful set, what brandalmost every single piece here is a different brand.
>>21680789then you must be gay and good at coordinating designs together, congrats I hope you get fucked in the butt tonight. Also thank you for showing the brands, its a nice setup.
If you're going to buy a blender, don't buy one unless it's a high-end one like a Vitamix.
>>21680801>then you must be gay and good at coordinating designs togetherOpposite, actually. I'm so lazy I just always go matte black.
>>21680814Vitamix is goated. It literally powderizes cherry pits.
>>21680814what about the blender attachment for the ankarsrum
>>21680814I bought one recently I think the model is 5100 (the legacy one) and its amazing. Moving to that from an $80 Oster was night and day
>>21680773>You already have the LC Braiser why get another when you can get the all clad rondeauThat was my thought but I sought validation, thank you anon
