Add me to the list of people lining up for @LakeWashington 's Le Creuset and cast iron dutch oven! 
Lake Washington, do you like artisan-style crusty French/Italian bread? Would you like to be able to turn out your own loaves with INCREDIBLE ease, and for pennies rather than the $5 or so they often run?
If so, you really, really need to take a look at this no-knead bread recipe. The perfect use for your dutch oven.
Iāve got fifteenā¦but the character plates are being used. Not my grandchildrenā¦but relatives.
I just went to a hearth cooking demo where we made bread in a cast iron dutch oven set in the coals. The lid was reversed, to hold more coals in the bowl shape. This meant baking from both below and above. Very good bread.
The only dutch oven I have is the old enamel on steel, guess thatās called Graniteware.
I have a pantry mentality squeezed into a too small space with no options for building a closet.
What I really want is a place to hang my beautiful Enclume pot rack so that I could get the damned cookware out of the cursed deep drawers where it currently resides. I hate battling with stacks of pots and handles and clashing and banging. The pot rack has been in the attic since 1994. I still have hopes.
I have a fairly large amount of storage space. In the service porch I have my grandmotherās pots and pans (I never met her). Holiday table decorā¦4 sets of chinaā¦my collection of cookbooks (about a 100 or so)ā¦summer plasticsā¦zin the kitchen I have trays and more china, plain wine glassesā¦yes, I need to editā¦(does) My pots and pans are a hodge podgeā¦ nothing fancy. I do have 3 Lecruset soup pots. Service for 102 in cutleryā¦The soup pots were at Sur la table for 30.00ā¦
Disagree -
Take-out menus. We have a couple from the Chinese places, because the menus have coupons on them.
Sugar packets - these get emptied into the sugar bowl when they come in
Parmesan cheese and red pepper packets from pizza deliveries - DH takes these to work with his leftover spaghetti
Magnets youāre intending to fix - DH actually just fixed two of these over the weekend. They seem to fly off the fridge when the dog tail wags.
Half-used candles - we seem to lose power every year or so, often for a 1/2 day.
Kidsā meal toys, including character cups. We donāt do cups, but have a dozen or so collectibles, peering around the plants on the counter. Sully and Mike from Monsterās Inc., Toy story, several of the Simpsons, and a few Polly Pockets, etcā¦ These are harmless, and the window sill would look empty without them.
DH uses napkins from the burger joint when he tests his blood sugar.
We love the Foreman grill - it gets used at least every week.
Whisks and spatulas come in multiple sizes, and most get used regularly. DH needs a whisk for making omelettes, and another for waffle batter - and while we donāt use the waffle maker as much as we used to, we often use it at dinner time.
We use 2 ice cream scoops when we have multiple flavors. Not as much as before we became empty nesters
Our Cheese slicer gets used a couple times a year when we entertain
Baby utensils you no longer need - I āneedā these to remind me I will have grandchildren some day, especially when my pups occasionally drive me batty.
Donāt have - so I can agree with -
Decorative bottles of herb-infused olive oil. - I decorate with Kids meal toys instead 
Duplicate salad tongs - We have salad tongs, and then a large and small āgeneral useā tongs
Advertising magnets - I donāt count the one from the library with the phone number on it
Ketchup packets - not a fan of catsup
Chipped mugs - this means toss
Aunt Janeās highball glasses that you never, ever get down from the top shelf
Anything more than four hot pads - we have exactly 4
Stained or holey dish towels - We have a dishwasher, and a dish rack, so we donāt use dishtowels often
All but five of the nice glass jar food containers and lids youāve been hoarding
The serving platter that you never liked but kept because it was a gift.
Take-out chopsticks - In America, we eat with forks and spoons
Old water bottles that you never reach for.
Tupperware without lids.
Lids without tupperware.
Duplicate can openers. We got rid of the electric one years ago, so down to one manual
Duplicate garlic presses - I tend to use jarred chopped garlic
āTake-out chopsticks - In America, we eat with forks and spoonsā
:-/
I love pretty chopsticks. The wood ones from Chinese restaurants are stashed with the paint cans, to stir.
I forgot to mention the glass jars that I insist on re-purposing for spices and such.
As regards the LeCreuset dutch oven, I mentioned this thread to Lake Jr., who gifted the pot to me 7 years ago as a teenager. He is adamant that I keep it. Who knew?
Also, I have multiple chef knives of middling quality. Just ordered two new (but different) chef knives from Victorinox the other day. I need to toss the so-so knives as well as my oldest large stainless steel frying pan. The pan has served me well but it is shop worn. I have a newer stainless steel pan but early on it developed a pit (probably from prolonged exposure to food acid like tomatoes; lazy me). Anyone have any experience with pot and pan repair shops?
Weāll have to get you braising and baking bread in your Le Creuset this winter, @LakeWashington.
Some of the bed pot/pan makers offer warranties.
Good call on the Victorinox knives. They are what most commercial/restaurant kitchen staff use. Good value for the $.
Your child is a gem!!
Use the bread recipe, please. It requires absolutely ZERO knowledge of bread making, honestly. The results are superb.
^^^Iāll also vouch for the bread. Just attempt it the day before you want to eat it because it needs to sit for several hours. One of our favorite is using lemon zest and a mild shredded cheese like havarti. Or cheddar and herb. So many choices!!!
A Cuisineart crockpot. Donated!
@BunsenBurner, I am a coupe days behind, but how do you get along without a spatula? I use mine to flip sandwiches, burgers, omelets, get homemade enchiladas out of the pan, etc. Hard to imagine being without.
I love my electric can opener. I keep a hand one in case the power goes out, but the electric is so much better.
Iād take one of those excess waffle makers in a minute.
Didnāt they say āmultiple spatulasā? One is plenty 
I was going to suggest an essay contest for the Le Crueset but it sounds like itās no longer on the market.
I donāt have much in the kitchen that I donāt use. Our kitchen and master bathroom are the same sizeāresulting in an overly large bathroom but an overly small kitchen. I only buy things I will use, since thereās no space. I donāt like clutter on the counter so itās just the coffee stuff and my mixer. I do have a bunch of spatulas and three ice cream scoops that are often all in use at once.
Send me your chopsticks! I use them to anchor seedlings.
Spatula. Two totally separate things are spatula to me.

@abasket, exactly. And there is the third type that is used to ice a cake. I have multiples of all three types in different sizes and shapes, and I use them all.
To me, some people seem to advocate that you should only keep the cookware youād use on a camping trip. Thatās fine for camping trips, where the menu is also tailored to suit.
What abasket said! A āspatulaā is that measly rubber or silicone thing that you use to scrape batter off the walls of mixing bowls. A pancake turner is a different tool. Those I have multiples of.
