Last month, someone here in San Francisco was moving out of state and wanted to cut loose some heavy things. I saw just the one smallest saucepan with handle for $20 on Craigslist. I couldn't pass it up, even though it had a crumbling, loose handle, which I replaced with a nice Cocobolo wood handle. The seller messaged me a few days later asking if I was interested in a few more Le Creuset pots/pans that he found in the garage and wanted to give me first dibs on. $80 more got me a basically unused enameled skillet and the slightly larger lidded sauce pot.
Looking at the eye-watering price of enameled Le Creuset these days, (about $700 for all of these) made me pretty happy with the score.
The first dish I made with these was the Chile en Nogada below.
