I'd say you are, too. Actually, I have an enviably huge collection of Le
Creuset, but the point I made was that I bought it many years ago when I
worked in a field where I could buy it well below cost. The collection I
have would not be affordable to many today, or at least not many would want
to spend that much money. I wouldn't and couldn't do so myself in present
day. Not to mention that i certainly couldn't afford to buy an induction
cooktop, even if I wanted one (which I do not).
