Why do you keep skipping over the best….STAUB!
Oh, Adam, Adam, Adam. "Braise the stakes/steaks." Seriously?
Bad boy, bad boy,
What you gonna do
When thet PUN for you?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have used my Le Cruset braiser for years. I live right by their outlet store, so I can pick up pots and pans for less. It’s usually a discontinued color or something. The pans are perfectly fine.
Thank you. Never heard of them. Definitely needed.
The Staub is $10 less than the Le Creuset. What's up with that?
Thanks Adam. I enjoy watching your reviews. I’d go for the Tramontina, myself. Their enameled iron 7qt Dutch Oven and 4qt Saucepan have been reliable work horses in my kitchen for years. Love them. And for the price-point, are the way to go 👍
I have the Lodge brand it's great for cooking rice.
Can a person microwave in those pots?
*please do not braise the steaks that's not a good way to cook them
Love the review, but my man, I had to mute and read captions because you’re ending 90% of your statements in a question mark, and that driiiives meeeee batty. Lol
Thank you for your excellent reviews. I have a request which I hope you can do and that is a review of garlic presses. I have never purchased one that I liked and would appreciate your input on a good one to buy. Thank you!
I’m going to guess the le creuset
Love the option when using the Braiser. I have the Tramontina a bit heavy but for the price my kind of pot. Love ❤️ the airing of this ; watched on 7/2/22
I knew Le Creuset was going to be the pick, but I was rooting for Staub, just because I love mine so, so much 🥰
I love my Le Creuset !
Is there any reason to get this over a full Dutch oven? I have braised in my Dutch oven with great results. It is a little flashier to have a separate braising pot though I guess.
LMAO. Gee, you think that Le Creuset being a major sponsor may have influenced the choice? I have used most of the major ones. Save your money and go with a "lesser" one.
I don't have a dutch oven, so I use my Lodge braiser for errrrrything!!! It was cheap, and it hasn't failed me yet. It's a winner for me!!
It says the top ones were Le Creuset and Staub but Staub wasn't mentioned in the video.
Thank you for Le Creuset vintage hand-me-downs ! BUT… I have had a Tramontina dutch oven. Good Value, can't complain. Also ALDI's Crofton brand is a fantastic bargain. $20 for any of these in the video.
WHAT A SURPRISE THEY PICK LE CRUSET AGAIN WITH NO JUSTIFICATION AS TO BETTER PERFORMANCE OR FEATURES TO JUSTIFY THE EXTRA $300.
I bought a La Creuset braiser and a Staub Dutch oven from a Craigslist seller in a steal! it pays to look sometimes! 😁
Got a Staub Cast iron for $35 on sales best braiser i’ve ever used.
