Your pot looks great!

Regarding your mom’s comment, I think that if an heirloom quality item breaks, so be it. It won’t happen terribly often, since it’s a quality item, but things do break prematurely every now and then even if they’re good quality.

The thing is, though, that if you buy good quality items, probably 90% of them ARE going to last, so ultimately, you’re ahead by going the quality route. If you buy junky products, somewhere around 100% of them are going to fail before they can be passed on.

My decision on this is to buy good quality things I like and that will ideally last my lifetime. I have one child who may want to inherit nice things, or may feel burdened by them, but at least they should fetch a fair price if not kept!

What a wonderful pot! I love it..

And yes, I’m all for buying quality pieces that last long. I need to do it more consciously even for small pieces rather than just major purchases. Thanks for bringing this up.

Beautiful gift. I have several Le Creuset pieces and love them. Tell your mom to rest easy. Le Creuset has a great warranty. I have only had one problem in all the years of using and it was a non-stick skillet they no longer make. The non-stick starting flaking off. They replaced it with a normal skillet that was nicer and more expensive with no hassle. Enjoy and I am sure there will be more Le Creuset pieces added to your wish list shortly.
