That’s interesting, regarding Lodge, but I could replace this 6 times and still spend less than the cost of one Le Creuset. (I appreciate irony of this point in contrast with my “buy it for life” point above.)

America’s Test Kitchen is another service that’s interesting in the context of the article. They aren’t a sexy Instagram brand, but are a service that should thrive in this space. I’m wondering if they’re getting the adjacent bump from all of this.

ATK is a pretty well established brand, it's been around for twenty years more or less as an offshoot of the Cook's Illustrated magazine.

The enamel in my mother's Le Creuset pot is over 40 years old at this point and still a daily use. That's n=1, but I think it still applies over their product line.

I bought a pot thinking it was similar (it wasn't), the difference in food-stuff adhesion is … palatable.
