Not immediately worthless at first glance: Modern cast iron pans that are polished. Nothing too exciting, investment cast pans as opposed to sand cast, polished like older pans were, pre seasons like pans are now, a handle that looks a bit weak where it joins the pan and sort of aiming at the trendy 'foodie' market. The problem: their early bird 8" skillet, pre-seasoned: $80 A pre-seasoned skillet from Lodge: $18 Wagner Polished Skillet: $17.50 And that's ignoring the various other companies making pans, the massive amount of old pans available, and the other high end makers (Smithey, Finex, &c) Basically they're aiming at the trendy market with a product that costs 4x that of already very good items and not quite the cost of higher end ones that look to have more comfortable handles and a better design quality, and unlike any of the prior ones they're made overseas (for those living in the US). So it's a premium priced product in a saturated market where even the cheapest options are cast and made domestically.

anybody that wants quality cast iron stuff is going to hit up ebay for old victor or griswold stuff anyway, if they're smart. i've got a bunch of old griswold cast iron stuff that I got from my grandmother, and that's something i'm going to will to my kid(s) when I pass. the only way I see people buying that is if they somehow come to the conclusion that old = inferior, which is laughably wrong in this instance.

Wait what they're using investment casting so they can get a thinner pan but isnt the whole point of cast iron pans aside from their coating are their thermal properties from being so bulky?!

1) Be Cast Iron 2) Be thick and heavy 3) Be old-style casted rather than this lovely Lodge poo poo that you have to sand down yourself anyway to make it not horrible What's that? You missed number 2? Maybe you should drop the price by a tenner or so.

gonna geek out a little bit on inconsequential poo poo I'm sort of a minimalist/conservationist when it comes to tools and implements; I hate throwing poo poo away when it can be recovered or repaired, and I hate buying new stuff that is inferior to what is being replaced. all my cast iron stuff is a hand-me-down from my grandmother, a full set of BSR cast iron from the 40s-50s. the dutch oven I have is a wagner from the 60s. there's so much great old poo poo like this that you can get at yard sales, flea markets, etc. and people don't know. They'll just buy poo poo like lodge and never know the difference, or understand why cookware is considered an investment. these are the same kinds of people that buy a new set every 5-6 years with some goofy professional cook's face on it. and nobody knows how to sharpen a kitchen knife anymore unless it's some wheeled contraption that does all the work for them. or, dare I say it, electric. I'm a 31 year old antique and i'm very angry about it. ask me about the craftsman tools I have from the 70s/80s and how I lament the fall of that entire loving brand.

Wrath of the Bitch King posted:gonna geek out a little bit on inconsequential poo poo amen to all of this though i would add that you can still buy good quality stuff -- you just have to pay for it. ain't nobody getting anything as good as a classic wagner (that's my skillet) for 19.99 at walmart, but i have a whole bunch of paderno commercial stuff that i bought bit by bit on their biannual door-crasher 70% off special days and it's indestructible.

now I'm remembering the time my wife ruined the surface of a decent set of non-stick pots and pans when she threw them in the dishwasher. until I told her afterwards she had no idea that there was such a thing as a pot you had to wash by hand. same for my chef's knife.
