juicy's blog post - Random shit

Friday, June 16, 2023, 12:58:10 AM

because every now and then I remember I have a blog.

I spend far too much time on that clock site and while there spend far too much time looking at cooking vids. Because of that I keep coming across these adorable little Le Creuset pots. Some of them are heart shaped. Some are like the big Dutch ovens but mini. Their sole purpose seems to be to roast garlic. Dump a bunch of cloves in, add olive oil, roast and then spread it on bread. I wanted.

Then I googled.

$80 CAD for an 8 ounce lil pot to roast garlic.

I think I will be sticking with my $2 ramekin and tin foil.

Even if I won the lottery I do not think I could justify that purchase.

Stingy,

ju

They look awesome & apparently are great quality. But agree - cannot possibly justify the price…..

I’d like one of the original sizes ones, but I just can’t bring myself to spend that!

I just fry mine in a small frying pan, usually with onions in EVOO and some butter.

I have something similar, a different brand, maybe not as good as the Le Creuset, but I paid less than $30 for it. I mostly bought it because it's cute but I have used it to bake brown rice (comes out great!). It's the Tramontina Covered Small Cocotte Enameled Cast Iron 24-Ounce. They make smaller ones too.
