Quote HistoryQuoted: Only $400, clearly it's better than the pile of Lodge stuff I have. For another $400, you can buy an electric power cord and save the planet. Windmill not included. |

So Yeti is basically adding a few accessories to another manfucturer's skillet and charging $400 instead of $345.

Quote HistoryQuoted: No, actually he isn't right. Antique cast iron is much thinner than the stuff that Lodge puts out and as such is much lighter, easier to handle and heats up more quickly. In fact, the really old gate-marked cast iron cookware is incredibly thin. All of those things make it much more enjoyable to use on a regular basis. My antique Griswold and Wagner dutch ovens, chicken fryers and skillets probably weight 30% less than a comparably sized new Lodge. That Yeti looks to me from the wall thickness like it doesn't have any of those advantages despite the enormous price tag.

You're better off getting a $10 flea market pan that's 100 years old with a glass-smooth surface. I bought a whole set of Lodge, but then got a couple old pans from my grandmother when she passed.

I’m pretty sure Yeti’s business model is fundamentally money laundering. Corporate executives funnel advertising money into buying Yetis with different logos on them, and then get personal kickbacks from the regional distributors. I own a few Yeti products. All of them have various ag supply logos on them that I got for free at ag events and crop tours.
I don’t know anyone personally who paid retail price for any Yeti product. |

Not exclusively but I doubt you'd find a 4 or 5 star restaurant completely devoid of cast iron in the kitchen. I couldn't tell in a taste test. Some might. I do know it cooks differently and the lack of teflon in my food is huge bonus. Restaurants of all levels use cast iron.  The Marriott has a whole chain of Cast iron grill restaurants associated with them. This one is in Hamburg.    If your Fajitas don't arrive at your table sizzling on cast iron SEND IT BACK!  |

I think it's the difference in the way people use it. I tend to cook cooler with a non stick coated pan. Cast? Heat it until it smokes then back off a click. Many restaurant cooks are similar, high output burners, hot and fast. Look at the way a good Asian place does their work over a jet burner VS most home chefs making sad oily fried rice in cold pans. |

The best steaks I ever tasted, high end steakhouses included, where made in the dining car of the passenger train I used to work on. While we used iron pans, the real secret was the 1 inch plus thick steel heating plates they sat on. Once up to temp it took only 45 seconds per side to yield awesome perfectly seared and caramelized steaks. Even the regular store bought ribeyes that I brought for lunch were impressive. |

Honestly, good on Yeti for being able to make that much profit off stupid folks. People pay $80 for a plastic homer bucket and lid that probably costs them $2 to make. That is incredible.
I have a Yeti cooler that I won at work in a fundraiser raffle. It is a really great cooler but it’s no better than my Lifetime cooler which was 1/3 the cost. I do love my Yeti tumbler, though.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Don't you want cast iron skillets to be thick? Their whole purpose is retaining heat. If you go thin you might as well go regular shit. Am I wrong? Genuinely asking I love most yet stuff, have coolers, tumblers, dog bowls and even their actually fantastic dog beds. But 400 for a cast iron is insane to me Genuinely asking an honest question in a GD outrage thread? What kind of lunatic are you? Since you are being genuine I'll give you my honest answer. First you are in part correct. Holding heat evenly is a quality of thick cast iron and there are situations where that is extremely desirable. However there are plenty of situations were thickness does not add any advantage at all. For example most anything that is cooked inside the oven, be it baking, roasting, or braising, a pot or skillet is going to saturate to the oven temperature regardless of thickness. In that role thicker is just heavier. And Weight is what led to cast iron falling by the wayside. Another advantage of thinner over thicker is when you are in a hurry. Crank the burner up and the thinner one comes up to cooking temperature faster. Lastly, casting iron thinly is difficult and leads to a much higher failure rate at the foundry. Consequently thin cast iron has an association with quality and skill. When aluminum cookware hit the market in the late 50's the women who were predominantly doing the cooking in American kitchens were thrilled to no longer have to heft heavy cast iron pots and pans. Cast iron all but disappeared from the American marketplace. The problem with Aluminum cookware (aside from giving you Alzheimer's) is that it does not take seasoning the way cast iron does. Everything sticks to that shit. Teflon coating was then the magic answer to that but it scrapes off too easily and recent years have revealed a lot of negative side effects to ingesting Teflon. That's why you see things like 'copper coat', green coating and a variety of other enamel coatings being pushed in infomercials. A thin cast iron pan properly seasoned actually gives in realty what those snake oil solutions promise on TV. |

I ordered two more yeti buckets today. Bright red. Perfect for catching liberal tears.

It seems like everyone is ignoring this product has successfully been on the market for a while. I never planned on buying a $350 cast iron, and I still won't, but a lot of people already have, and it wasn't brand loyalty.
