I may have a problem:
What a beautiful problem to have!

Uranium: my favorite flavor.
Kidding. That's a really nice display.
I set it up for the photo, my wife thinks it's weird keeping cookware in the living room. :)
Is that like $6k worth of Le creuset on display?
I haven't added it up. Frankly, I don't want to. ;)
Fortunately most of it was discounted through their outlet store.
I was on the fence between their Dutch oven and a Cuisinart that was 1/4 of the price. I ended up getting the Cuisinart. I'm very glad I didn't get the Le Creuset because the first time I used it, my kid scrubbed it with the chainmail we use for cast iron and put deep scratches in the enamel. Some day I may replace this with the fancy one, but this Cuisinart is doing okay so far.
You know, there's nothing wrong with Cuisinart or Lodge for that matter.
The only reason I went with Le Creuset is the pot in the middle, with the loop handle? That's my grandmothers from the 1950s. I inherited that one and built out everything around it.
The Le Creuset is 1-2 pounds lighter if I recall correctly. That's a big benefit, especially for my tiny wife.
Had to move them there to get the photo. :)
