cookware

I really need a dutch oven for all kinds of things. But what size? I'm leaning towards the 6 quart as a reasonable size for a two person household. But do I need more than one? Decisions, decisions.

"Customers buy this item with Le Creuset L9403-45 Stainless-Steel 2-Inch Replacement Knob by Le Creuset."

Does this mean that people buy one brand, and then replace the knob with that of another brand? Because that's hilarious.

It is totally true - you buy that knob and slap it on there and no one would know you didn't drop $500 on your pots! It's like sewing little alligators on all your polo shirts.

Heh, people buy it because on a lot of these, the original knob only goes up to a certain temperature, meaning you can't use the lid in the oven. The steel one is good for as much heat as the pot can take :)

That's less funny, but it makes more sense.

Truth!
