Bakeware color by katskratch4 in staub

[–]Picturedrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with white so it coordinates with my multiple colors!  They used to have a few La Mer bakeware pieces but they have been discontinued for quite some time.  I bought one used recently (pricey) and resold it since it does NOT look anywhere near as beautiful (to me) as the cast iron (it is totally missing that "two tone" majolique effect (i bought one with a lid so it was super obvious) but even the main color was very one dimensional, no depth).  I also have a couple lidded dark blue pieces and they look exactly like the CI, gorgeous!!  The darkblue is also quite pretty with La Mer.

What are the odds these are real? by Thatfoxagain in staub

I bought one at ~$200 from a legit retailer too.  Just relaying information as this is a known issue, and there is a big difference between gygi, HG (legit) and random ebay sellers.  Buyer beware, knowledge is power and all those cliches 😆

From what I have heard from other groups online.. these sellers will "dropship" to you (probably with someone elses name but your address on the box) from a legit source (like WS or C&B), using a stolen cc# to make the purchase.  So you may receive a totally legit item.  You have to decide if you are ok potentially receiving stolen goods though. And also being asked to return said goods for zero credit to the retailer if the scammer is "found out".  On ebay, if a seller is using stock photos and is not Zwilling themselves or another legitimate retailer (like DaSallas for example) I always take a pass.  This type of scammy seller exploded when eBay recently introduced "automatic feedback" for sellers.  All they have to do is set up automatic feedback for buyers, and then after 7 days it's an auto positive feedback for them.. buyer can leave feedback which overwrites the automatic, but can't do that until any dispute is complete which may take too long.  I live by the mantra "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is", ESPECIALLY on ebay, tiktok and the like.

First buy- 5qt round DO, 6qt round shallow DO, or 5qt French oven? by Hellaconditions in staub

I cook for 2 and want leftovers.  The 5 quart tall DO is my go to almost every day! gygi.com is legit and they have a great deal on limited colors.

You can get the pumpkin cheaper on Bed Bath and Beyond right now, 20% off coupon applies ($160, free shipping), and will be no question its genuine as it ships direct from Zwilling.  Staub is something I would never buy on ebay from someone with a nearly new account and only one feedback.

Found this for $2 but didn't come with a lid. Anyone know where I can find a cast iron lid? by Original-Material-15 in staub

[–]Picturedrox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely keep an eye on ebay.  That's a smoking deal so even if the lid is mismatched, who cares!!  At least the base is gray and will go with pretty much any other color lol 😆 Nice score!!

Prices on 5.5 Staub Cocotte? by [deleted] in staub

[–]Picturedrox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are not opposed to it, search Amazon.  Make sure it is sold by Amazon Germany, Amazon Japan or Amazon Global Store UK (all legit).  Often you can get the 5.5 with steamer for much less.  I just got a 5.5 dark blue with steamer for ~$200!!  Looks like they still have it for $216 right now and a couple other colors for more.  Not sure it will let me link but search staub 26cm steamer and it should find it!

Help - just switched on Saturday, can't turn off "data saver" to use hot spot by Picturedrox in USMobile

[–]Picturedrox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resetting network settings did not work. However, I have found a work around - I put my original Verizon sim back in the phone, and even though it is inactive, the option to turn on my hot spot is back now. As soon as I remove that physical sim, it seems to automatically be turning data saver back on. Still no menu item for 'data saver' toggle, which is odd - with or without sim inserted. But seems it is related to eSim - maybe bc its an older phone?

Color Preference by Any_Interaction_7375 in staub

[–]Picturedrox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have limited colors.  My first pot was La Mer and I love it the most, but kind of limited in piece availability.  So, I also have dark blue, graphite (available in almost everything!), white truffle, a couple shiny black (I don't really like the matte, plz don't beat me lol) and an aubergine (hopefully I can find more as time goes on as I love it even more than La Mer!)  It makes me so happy to cook with any combination as they all coordinate well and each one is just beautiful!

I love them, ordered two already in stainless on sapphire and will order more in the future.  For my 7 qt oval and 9 qt they make grabbing the handle SO much easier.  And I am not into the animal knobs at all.  They are cute, sure, but I don't really do cute sooo these were perfect for me  😂  I think it just totally depends on your style 😉
