New, But It Still Counts
This Le Creuset Saucepan might be brand new, but the owner really can expect it to last a lifetime. That’s why Le Creuset is so pricey. The enamel coating is exceptionally well made, and the cast iron interior can last hundreds of years if properly taken care of, so long as it’s never put in the dishwasher.
Le Creuset is high-end, with this saucepan running for $240. A full eight to ten-piece set can run nearly $1000. Still, after you’ve replaced your cheap pots and pans a dozen times, that price doesn’t seem so bad. Plus, they come with a lifetime warranty, so you can always get a replacement if something does happen. Talk about investment for life.
