re: Let's discuss cookware sets: le Creuset vs All clad copper

I have a mix of good stuff, but I use my Le Creuset pots 90% of the time. I do a lot of one-pot recipes, and I like that I can stir the hell out of it, like making a roux, and that heavy pot stays in place.

I got started cooking with them, so maybe that has something to do with my preference.

As noted above, the outlet store in Foley has some good deals, and they'll usually knock off more if you even look at something. Some items are seconds, but they are marked, and the staff will usually check out a few so you and they can pick the best one. It's usually just a cosmetic blemish.
