Le Creuset is good shit though.

Yeah, it's high quality shit. Too bad it's so expensive.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah... Maybe a random celebrity would give me some for free though?

I'm an extremely wealthy arabic numeral, and all my wealth is tied up in high quality French made cookware. If you pay shipping, I'll deliver a truckload of cookware to your commercial warehouse facility, and you can keep one pallet as payment.

I accept Steam gift cards, Bitcoins, and pork belly futures.

I can only pay in gourd futures.

Hello, my name is Taylor Swift. Please send me bitcoin and I'll send you cookware and double your bitcoin back.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent 1 points 1 year ago

I sent u my bitcoin bb, show me ur cookware

But it's a scam. They're not buying le cruiser. They're paying the shipping on a free gift through "Taylor's" special website. They lose $10 and the scammer never sends anything.

Well I can't make a casserole in a scam, I don't care for that at all!

It's also overpriced and generally far from made in France. De Buyer, OTOH, is actually good shit at a good price. If it's tableware you want, Arc is French, good, and inexpensive.
