Never allow me to enter a kitchenware shop unsupervised!

Cherry red, of course, and I picked it up a store relocation sale so it was a very good price (in Le Creuset terms )

Here's to a lifetime of enjoyable cooking :beer:

What should I cook to christen it?

 

[pyonir]

[CptCrunch]

A thread to welcome a "new member" of the family? A frying pan?

So sad ...

What's far more pathetic is you taking that seriously

So sad...

I've been using these Silverstone Ultra frypans with a lot of luck the past few years, but I'm getting ready to make the jump to cast iron.

Don't get offended, he just doesn't know the joys of cooking

Those look pretty good :thumbsup:

I don't have any problem justifying this little beauty to myself or the better half, they're a joy to cook with, and properly maintained will last many lifetimes

Doing the initial seasoning/sealing now, then I think some fillet steak will become the christening meal

drooooool

 

[BurnItDwn]

CptCrunch is correct.
Bacon it shall be!
BACON!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Imported]

Apologies

It was fillet steak. It was fantastic.

After only two seasoning/sealing cycles I barely had to wipe it it clean it. I sense a long and passionate love affair with this pan :heart:

You probably could have gotten a Lodge cast iron skillet for a lot less. Properly maintained, they'll last your entire lineage's lifetime.

 

[KeithTalent]

I've had this pan for about a year or so now and I absolutely love it.

Congrats!

Dare I ask what colour?

I thought in autrailia they just dug a hole out back, crapped in it, threw a kangaroo carcass in it and then set the whole mess on fire.

Is the pan to kill the kangaroo?

I have it in cobalt. Just a beautiful pan and I love that I can fire this one right into the oven without a problem. I use it all the time.

Never really figured out the point of Le Creuset...

I'd never picked you as the trolling type before.

EDIT: Before you start kicking and screaming about how something infinitely cheaper is infinitely better, I don't care

Get this into your head: It's superb to cook with, and it will last forever. I can afford it now, and spread over my lifetime the cost difference is completely and utterly negligible. They even look great, and a splash of colour livens up the kitchen

One argument that always makes me roar with laughter is 'if you really love food you'll get x (usually lodge) and put the rest towards better ingredients'

:laugh:

As though there's any meaningful difference over any real period of time

I don't really know what makes these pans (or any pans short of something that is non-stick so I don't get all angry) special.

But I'm glad your happy with it. =p

i have two lodge pans and a lodge dutch oven. i never cooked bacon on it because we don't ever eat it. but i did rub lard all over and baked it in the oven for a few hours in 300*. i fry spam in it every now and then and its held up pretty good. the only difference is the le creuset is coated in enamel right?
