... The frying pan is 4-5 months but it's like new and it's my daily driver.

Which frying pan... cast iron / stainless / toughened non-stick?

 

[Scooby_Doo]

I want something like their signature roaster, any alternatives that I should look at?

The 26cm toughened nonstick:

Already 25% off on website?

Or is this just fake marketing?

I guess the Dutch oven is 2 years old. The frying pan is 4-5 months but it's like new and it's my daily driver.

We've got a few items, but we've had our Dutch oven since 1994 and it's still going strong.

What's the advantage of investing this brand?
I've looked at their stuff a few times but find it quite expensive

Let’s put it this way, this is cookware that you’ll be handing down to your children.

It's for people who have neighbours with the surname Joneses.

 

[adamr]

only reason I want it is because I don't intend buying pots ever again. my bastard children who ... if they do find me will get these pots handed to them

.... they are incredible value!

Is this a case of people buying it simply because it's expensive, then saying it's brilliant to convince themselves it was worth showing it off to guests???

I don't see how this will do a better job than my braai grid with a steak, and that costs a fifth of these pans.

OR you get a wife and have her cook?

***It's Friday, I'm bored and semi frozen, I don't care as long as we are not discussing expensive wine.

Not at all. They are high quality and last for a lifetime.

It won't. But I don't eat meat so....

A nonstick pan or Dutch oven aren't really meant for steak though, are they?

Ok thanks, then it seems worth it since it will last this long.
There were a few hundred pots available at a shop due to spelling errors (le creuest) which resulted in huge discounts, and started my journey with the brand

Dont knock it until you tried it.

My mother and grandmother swear by AMC . And they look even more expensive than these. How do they compare?

Old AMC don't work with induction. The new ones do.

Problem with AMC is that most people don’t use it for their intended purpose which is “waterless cooking”.

It seemed to have become popular in Indian households in SA due to clever direct sales marketing but I wonder what really is special about them.
Asked my wife and she said her mother used them so it must be good ?

My mother has some that are 30 years old. They Still look good. And they'll replace and handles etc that break.

But they are ridiculously expensive

We bought a 31cm oval Le Creuset casserole on a good special about 20 years ago, still in good nick with careful use - no metal spoons used in it . Today we did slow roasted lamb with a sprig or two of rosemary, with the lid on till the last half hour. Mmmm was it good! If we choose one that isn't enormous, that pot is big enough for our turkey at Christmas. One year we weren't careful enough, and had to do surgery on the bird to get it in the pot. We carved it before it went to the table...
