Le Creuset has a discount store at the Allen outlets if you want the baller shit. Their stuff is badass and lasts a lifetime.

This is my favorite fwiw. Seems pricing has dropped quite a bit. We used to represent this line before Vollrath bought them. I can't speak to quality now but it used to be the best you could buy. I'll add a disclaimer that these used to be $100+ per piece. Looks like they've got some combo sets now for the price you used to get just one pan for. They are induction pans (heavy bottom), but can be used on regular burners. I've got several sample pieces from 6-7 years ago and they still look new.

That same set is $105 at Acemart.

Different dealers/distributors get different pricing based on volume. The price on Vollrath's website that I linked to, is probably good at any dealer/distributor in the country just to cover their butts, though you should always shop around prior to buying to make sure you're getting the best deal possible.

No different than others like Summit occasionally having lower pricing than you can buy it direct from the manufacturer for.


EDIT: I did realize a mistake in my earlier post. Disregard the Optio post. Centurion are the favorite pans I've got. No wonder the pricing wasn't making sense to me. Optios are fine for most people. The Centurion though is the best I've seen/worked with, and has a lifetime warranty.

It's the normal stuff, just on the "lower end" of their product line. Calphalon cookware and Le Creuset for baking stuff here. Definitely get what you pay for. I upgraded it all several years ago and never regret it.

This! We went and got a nice set of stuff there and it cooks great!
