Le creuset vs all clad?
Posted on 3/3/24 at 7:56 pm
Posted on 3/3/24 at 7:56 pm
I recently received a 12 piece le cresuet stainless set and a le creuset 11 pc cast iron set.
I don't mean to sound ungrateful... I'm simply not really the type of guy to have these
I was originally considering all clad to be my next kitchen investment when this was gifted.
Can anyone comment on the differences?
The biggest issue I have is that I will never allow myself to buy the large dutch oven that matches these sets it's too damned high.

Someone gave you $2500 worth of kitchen cookware?

Scrap that low rent shite. Get yourself a slap chop, an Emeril oven, and a gotham steel pan and give that trash to us

You can give it to me since it was a gift and you don’t want them

Buying the matching ditch oven for your gifted 2500 set is a bridge too far?

If you planned to buy AC D3 then it is 6 one half a dozen another and you will probably like the handles better unless you have used AC for years. The only issue there is if you want some specialty SS pieces you might end up with some AC mixed in because their SS catalog is much larger than LC's.
If you were planning to buy D5 or especially copper core you might be a little disappointed. All or main pieces are AC copper core and on gas and especially induction they change temp almost instantaneously which can be good or bad because you have to really know your temps since it is rather unforgiving. We had a bit of a learning curve but loved copper core once we figured the temps out. I have not used their G5 line but I do want one of the 10.5 inch skillets for tossing and flipping because they are significantly lighter (20%) but conduct heat almost as well as the copper core.
IIRC most of LC's SS is made in Portugal but I wouldn't be surprised if their lids are made in China which is a rather insidious tactic of a lot of high end cookware... ie All-Clad but they are assembled in the US.
BTW I don't consider any All-Clad lines to be dishwasher safe which can be a big turnoff for many. In most restaurant kitchens pots/pans are washed in sinks so it is an issue that mainly pops up in homes. I have always treated my pots like my knives and hand-washed them but that is something most people don't do.

I have a lot of Allclad. The only things I use are the sauce pan and pot for cooking rice. I really dont like cooking in stainless sauté pans, no matter how hard ive tried. Ive tried the water test. Sure, maybe im doing it wrong. But I dont feel like needing Mercury to be in retrograde and the relative humidity in my house to be stable for 36 hours just to make a stainless pan work. I do like my GreenPan and regular cast iron, though.
As for Le Creuset, the only ones I have are a small straight walled saute pan for making roux and the big dutch oven. I dont see needing anything other than that. Anything else would be too fancy, which I am not.
Im not nearly the cook that a lot of the posters here are. This is kind of an average Joes opinion.

Biggest difference is that you already own one of them for free and the other would be a huge investment.

Nothing like a good brag thread that you get expensive gifts

This might be the dumbest post in the history of the FDB
It’s not even a brag, it’s ignorance

You must have gotten some defective ones. Mine work just by turning on the stove top.

Darla I own camo sweat pants that I have cut into capris pants.
Now I may clean up alright, but I aint the guy to buy designer cookwear.
Until these the most expensive things I had were jambalaya pots and a big mexican cazo de cobre

thats fine. I dont want to have to try so hard to make it work. When I use my All Clad I feel like im only doing it to prove that it can be done. Its just not enjoyable to cook with

What are you trying to do with cookware that the rest of us aren't? Again, the way I get mine to work is to turn on the stove top and cook the food that I put in them.

You’ve never heard of everything sticking to stainless cookware? That’s surprising bc there are thousands of videos of people trying to teach you how to make it nonstick, which it in no way is. Do you have the Internet?

Oh, you're an a-hole too (in addition to being an idiot). I get it. You didn't mention that you had an issue with food sticking when you were talking about how hard it was to get it to "work".
Stick to your shitty non-stick cookware and your cast iron coated in rancid seed oil.
To answer your question, the only thing that I find a little annoying to cook in my stainless cookware is eggs, but I deal with it.
