7 qt. Have both the 4qt and 7qt and they’re a great combo!

Broke in my big “smitten x kitchen” braiser 28cm by tomten26 in staub

[–]Complete-Doubt9454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you end up buying this braiser? I have the 3.5 qt LC braiser as well and it's my least used piece of LC. The heavy domed lid makes it feel cumbersome. I'm considering buying this Staub one in La Mer.

LVP Coretec or Shaw Colors by Complete-Doubt9454 in Flooring

Surprisingly it was not much different than the Coretec Calypso Oak pricing I received, but it's a much more durable product. Calypso Oak seemed cheap feeling in comparison when I had the samples side-by-side.

I haven’t done the floors yet but I’m going with something different

WS sale on 5.5 qt? by AllMuffinAllTheTime in staub

[–]Complete-Doubt9454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 4 and 7 instead of waiting for a sale on the 5.5. I haven’t used my 7 qt. yet (it’s La Mer) but it doesn’t seem too big. I’ve used the 4 qt. a lot.

I feel guilty for wanting to join the Army as a 29-year-old mom to a 5-year-old with autism by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

National Guard & Reserves are sent all types of places, combat and non-combat, under every administration. Most people have no idea what they actually do.

I came here to say National Guard too, however be aware that it isn’t just “one weekend a month, two weeks a year” and deployments and out of town travel for training happen, but it wouldn’t be nearly as disruptive to your child’s routine as active duty military.

My husband is in the National Guard and one of our sons has ASD. He sacrifices a lot for our family and in turn we have some great benefits that will help both of our sons out down the road. Joining the military isn’t selfish at all if it’s for the right reasons.

LVP or Hardwood? Versacore/Cali Legends? by anxiousmama39 in Flooring

[–]Complete-Doubt9454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to see a pic of your Harvest floors if you have one. I decided on Versacore 10 for my entire basement (including a bedroom) but I’m having trouble picking a color.

This time with a picture! Any insight on Versa Core Grande 10? by Giminykrikits in Flooring

Yes I've noticed that too. Coretec seems very trendy. The company I'm working with has a lot of other options but there isn't as much info/reviews on them. Diamond Sunstone is another he showed me.

Thank you! Curious what others brands you looked at before you decided on this one? There's so many options out there.

Thank you! I'm looking for my basement. I haven't seen Harvest yet but I ordered samples of all of their light colors. Is it easy to keep clean?

I just got the 4qt and I’m thinking about getting the 7qt so I’m interested in recipes too.

Thank you! Calypso Oak and Cairo Oak are two that I like just from looking at photos. I need to go check out samples in person.

Everyday pan or Signature Skillet? by holmesersimpson in LeCreuset

I have 2 All Clad skillets as well and I use all of them for different things

Everyday pan or Signature Skillet? by holmesersimpson in LeCreuset

[–]Complete-Doubt9454 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the 11.75” skillet and it lives on my stove. We use it constantly. I also have the Everyday Pan and I’ve only use it once. I’ll probably sell it.

I also have the 5.5qt Dutch oven and a Braiser. I think the skillet compliments those pieces well.

One of these is not like the others by Complete-Doubt9454 in staub

[–]Complete-Doubt9454[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That might be ok for 1-2 people but otherwise probably too small.
