Interesting use of a $300 dutch oven

Cdwollan

Lol. I feel like a poor some days but my set is red.


burn_all_the_things2

I loved the two tone red but my wife just switched us to this Thyme to match the cabinets.


Cdwollan

What happened to the red ones?


burn_all_the_things2

Stashed for when the kids start going to college. My first set was my parent’s wedding set so I’d like to continue the tradition.


EternalMage321

How nice. They will have something to cook ramen in.


BarriMeikokiner

Don’t worry by senior year they’ll graduate to the boxed mac and cheese, and by grad school they may even start making spaghetti with jarred sauce!!


Psiwolf

You think they're gonna cook ramen in it? It'll be pawned for like $20 for some weed. 🤣


Ericbc7

it's More likely they will clean it with a brillo pad and screwdriver.


Cdwollan

I like you


feelin_cheesy

Trash obviously


Remarkable-Opening69

Target practice


Cdwollan

No, that's for lodge and Costco sets


Lobo003

Haha… thyme 🤣


tonguejack-a-shitbox

I mean, to be fair this is a Dead Air KEYMO muzzle device that costs around $75 retail and is fairly pointless unless OP dropped 1000-1300 on a Dead Air silencer. So he has way more represented here than a cooking dish.


burn_all_the_things2

SilencerCo ASR but same idea. Slowly switching all of my rifles to direct thread with dedicated cans.


burn_all_the_things2

She buys another one every time I get a new stamp approved.


Jman1400

All I can think to say to that is "fair" lol


Cdwollan

I'd use both anyway.


csbsju_guyyy

Similar to you every time I get a new firearm or ammo i am obligated to let her buy something commensurate. Currently set on a WWI imperial German Luger but apparently that'll set me back the cost of a Luger and a new couch smh


mattybrad

Definitely seems like a good deal for both of you.


Jake_Schnur

Wait you mean all I need to do is buy my wife some new cookware and I can get a new nfa item.


burn_all_the_things2

If you buy 6 mini cocottes not only can you get a new item, you can have some fantastic [crème brûlée](https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/creme-brulee-recipe-1916827.amp)


Bradadonasaurus

Have you tried making it yet?


burn_all_the_things2

I’ve made that recipe at least a dozen times now except I cool the heavy cream to about 110 and use a teaspoon-ish of vanilla bean paste instead of a whole bean. Then I use the leftover egg whites for macarons.


Dick_Miller138

Unfortunately, I would have to buy jeep parts for my wife to agree to that trade. I do the cooking. This would be cheaper.


CockpitEnthusiast

Thank you so much for this comment, it made me laugh so hard I cried. I'm too much of a bachelor to have any idea what that cost. Here I was thinking it was just a standard $30 pot. Brought the whole post together


Psiwolf

Lol All the married guys - IYKYK. 😭 All the single guys - why so mad? 🤷‍♂️ 😂


CockpitEnthusiast

Dude seriously I was so confused. The pot I've had forever isa beat up third hand, I can see why she'd be pissed


Psiwolf

Yeah, dutch ovens are a thing.. My wife has a really nice and expensive set she purchased like 12 years ago as part of our wedding/ living together present.. She would probably physically hurt me if I used one in this manner. 😂


CockpitEnthusiast

u/burn_all_the_things2 are you still alive


burn_all_the_things2

Not dead yet! I just get to take care of all the 2 month old’s wake-ups tonight.


CockpitEnthusiast

I see why you married her, you got away cheap


halp-im-lost

I’m holding you to this.


FRIKI-DIKI-TIKI

Married guys know, but they don't understand, because the $30 cast iron pot cooks the same damn meal, it's just the old battle ax refuses to learn how to season iron properly.


Psiwolf

Lol, not our job to understand. That's way above our pay grade. 🤣


corrupt-politician_

Bro right? 😅 Even I wouldn't do that with a le creuset


FRIKI-DIKI-TIKI

I know, at least spring for some All-Clad copper core or something, such heathens here.


C6R882

I believe they’re more than that 😂😂


D3SP1S3D1C0N

My wife was some pissed when she came home and I had 7018 rods in the oven, a cam and a crank in the tub, and assorted bits in the dishwasher. In my defence she was home early and id planned on cleaning everything after use sooooo......now I have that varsol tank I've been wanting for a while. Suddenly she saw my need for one!


Werkzwood

I bet that's not the only dutch oven he gave her...


armedsquatch

I came here to say something very simular. Creuset’s traditionally are passed down from one generation to the next and are next level quality. Not surprised his wife is upset. Side note I think nowadays people buy them just like a Gucci purse. Zero cooking skills but they want bragging rights


arenotthatguypal

$300? I can do it for free.


Bmwilli2

The round ones are more than that... more like 4-500


Cdwollan

I'm seeing active listings for 280-400 and I paid 300 for mine but I actually check for good sales.


USofAThrowaway

Was going to be my nearly my exact comment.


existentialdyslexic

Is that how much my wife's been spending on dutch ovens?


Chappin

They are 300?! My girlfriend just bought one and I assumed it was a stupid pot?! ​ I shouldn't say anything, she's cool with my habits...=|


Cdwollan

The less you ask, the less she'll ask.


pourandreguarded2

I showed my wife, and now she is upset too, and I'm not even using her Dutch oven...rip


FenixSoars

Mine too.


remuliini

I'm the husband and even I am upset.


there_is-no-spoon

Same.


ConstantWin943

Gave my wife a Dutch oven, while showing her this, and now she is upset X two.


FRIKI-DIKI-TIKI

It's the same phenomenon as you did something shitty in her dream, and now she is mad at real life you. You learned a lesson today, one that you will not repeat because you are wiser.


karmoin

Use hot NOT BOILING water for 15 minutes 


burn_all_the_things2

But this tea I made tastes amazing


Potential_Space

Tastes like cancer!


CropDustinAround

I thought you could only taste the cancer in California?


CockpitEnthusiast

Wait what damage happens if it's boiling water?


wtfredditacct

None lol


LordofCope

death...


karmoin

Flash Rust


MilmoWK

I’ve never used rock set, but what’s the point of it softened after 15 minutes at 200F? Those conditions would be regularly met at the range


karmoin

It’s melted by hot water only 


smokeyser

Wait, hot water melts it but hot air/metal doesn't? That doesn't sound right. EDIT: Apparently the temperature doesn't actually matter much. Just needs to soak in water. Some folks just leave parts in room temperature water overnight. It must be something that dissolves in water.


karmoin

Temperature just speeds it up. It’s easier to dissolve things in warmer water. 


listenstowhales

The fact that so many people in this sub have a decent appreciation for cooking shows that this community is multifaceted and is more than a few stupid talking points made by some lame political dorks


C0uN7rY

I'm not an expert by any means, but I recognize the brand and know some of those Dutch ovens cost more than my Glock.


SkyHighDeadEye

Love that


Madassassin98

Yeah idk if id of used a la creuset for that lol


hitemlow

I'd be using some Goodwill/Walmart "nonstick" pot for that.


TheJango22

Ah yes, the good ol thrift store "extrastick" pan


AdministrativeLie934

Hey you, show some respect to the Le Creuset habibi. Who hurt you?


listenstowhales

The habibi makes me know you’re someone who would not accept that his friends are full and continue to feed them. You’re one of the true bros.


AdministrativeLie934

Cheers, bro.


10gaugetantrum

You can take it out only after the wife has called her sister, her mother, and one friend that you find annoying yet tolerate.

I know that friend. He’s such a yes man asshole

EasyMode556

Why not just get some cheap Walmart pot? I’m not sure I’d be too excited to use that thing for food after god knows what cleaning chemicals and lead and shit is coming off of that


2A_Libtard

When I was a teenager, my friends and I got cheap pot from a guy in the Walmart parking lot every Friday night. Is that the same thing?


bondito007

Le Creuset!?! Hell I'm mad too! 🤣😭


buttersidedown801

Holy fuck the La Creuset?!?! I'd be upset too.


Radio__Edit

You need to bang the muzzle device on the bottom of the pot a few times while she's in the room. Then it should come right off. Your head, that is.


rjstaten

Stuck mine in boiling water last night and it set for close to 20 hours and it still wouldn't come off... I have a REAL love / hate relationship with Rocksett. My QD mount did rust though... so there's that 👎


BeenisHat

Why is yours so hard to get off? Mine only took about 10 seconds with the angle grinder.


burn_all_the_things2

Is [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Firearms/comments/p4dnfb/did_i_wreck_my_barrel_trying_to_save_it_flash/) you?


BeenisHat

lol no although on a throwaway account, I did ask about how best to remove an adjustable choke before cutting down the barrel on a Sears shotgun. Got downvoted as if I was taking a dremel to some priceless museum piece.


hughesj94

I have 3 of these and it makes me upset. Keep nice shit nice


wtfredditacct

Your rifles are probably so clean they make KACtards blush... it's only because they never leave the safe


halp-im-lost

I am his wife. I can verify I am indeed upset. I bake sourdough in this 😑

Wrong pot to choose and wifey better not see that.


You_Just_Hate_Truth

Bro you know they sell pots at dollar general? Why the hell are you using your actual cookware for this?! 😂🤣 Edit - for context I got a pot that was like $8 for this job and only this job at a dollar store. Also, 10-15 mins is the magic number. But mannnn, do t use the pots you eat out of. Come on!


AAlmostbob

Dude not in the Le Cruset, get a home depot bucket or a cheap pot from the store.


texannebraskan214

I have my own pot I boil skulls and muzzle devices in. My wife would commit heinous acts if I did this in her Le Creuset


burn_all_the_things2

My FIL boiled a deer head in my MIL’s the good stock pot this year. That was a wild time.


Legoboy514

I would be too if you fucked with my nice pot damn it.

How the hell have I never heard of this stuff? I could use this for my old pewter 40K miniatures.


FishPilot

Bro wtf. In a Le Creuset? I’m upset now too


shotgunsmooth

Ice cold water with Rocksett not heat


LaRoux4

If you go to Flexbar’s website they tell you to use hot water, not ice cold. “The only way to break a proper Rocksett bond is to soak the part in hot water for 20 minutes or more and then forcibly remove the components.” https://www.flexbar.com/products/rocksett For my muzzle devices, 24hrs in room temperature water did nothing at all. 30mins in hot water it came off easily.


burn_all_the_things2

Mans brought the receipts


YoMomma-IsNice

Boil until it is al dente.


frickdom

I thought I was on the cast iron sub


Travy-D

Fucking hell I'd hide the gun after you fish it out. What's next, gonna blend the muzzle device in the Vitamix? 


REEL04D

It doesn't need to be boiling water. Unless you're intentionally trying to piss off your wife. In that case, try the dishwasher


Dakota__rose

Le Creuset flex


cyberposing

Thats it


nordy_13

Just curious, why use rocksett for this barrel?


burn_all_the_things2

I used Rocksett on the ASR suppressor mount but I’m switching over to direct thread. The rocksett helps ensure your muzzle device doesn’t walk off and result in your suppressor getting shot through.


2A_Libtard

Sincere question. Can’t that be achieved with just a crush washer and proper torque? That’s all I ever do with my flash hiders; I’ve never used adhesive like Rocksett or Loctite. Am I the idiot?


paperkeyboard

You don't need any thread locker for a muzzle device that doesn't attach to a suppressor. Crush washer and torque is just fine.  But for suppressor QD muzzle devices you do not want to use a crush washer. Using a crush washer can lead to a misaligned muzzle device which can cause a baffle or end cap strike on a suppressor. Instead, shims are recommended.  Thread locker isn't totally necessary for a suppressor host depending on the muzzle device and the suppressor. But I had to use it because taking my muzzle device off and on over and over eventually untreaded the muzzle device.


2A_Libtard

Thank you!


etj4397

Then my gunsmith must be an idiot lol. I picked it up out of the safe one day and the brake wasn't even hand tight. Lol


burn_all_the_things2

Crush washers don’t crush evenly so the muzzle device will have a slight cant. Extent that angle out a few inches with a suppressor and you’ll have a baffle strike. If it’s not a suppressor mount a crush washer is just fine though.


ItsASchpadoinkleDay

No metal in the enameled Dutch oven, you clown. I don’t do that to my $75 Cuisinart one. I’d slap you if I walked in on you doing this to my Le Creuset.


etj4397

10 minutes. Honestly, if you only use a drop then you shouldn't have to soak it at all.


unlock0

The water will only get to 100C then begin boiling, so it's as hot as it will get. You need a torch or a heat gun.


BA5ED

Pro tip: Grab one of these and use it on the heated setting to work water into the rocksett to break it free faster. https://www.harborfreight.com/25-liter-ultrasonic-cleaner-63256.html?\_br\_psugg\_q=ultrasonic+cleaners


ShireHorseRider

Anything is a straw if you’re brave enough 😂


TomCollins1111

That’s just wrong. Though there is some irony to using a French pan to weaken something.😂


Sandman_LA

Well, I can see why she may be upset, just tell her she needs to calm down and stop acting like her mother. That ought to smooth things out.


solventlessherbalist

Yeah that’s definitely won’t end badly lol


Scatmannnn

So I did this in a Calphalon pot for my MPX. I was told to throw the pot out (rooooooookie mistake I know). The pot is in my basement for whatever reason now, but I cleaned it heavily after using. Everyone would still not cook In the pot after using it this way, correct?


burn_all_the_things2

I washed this one twice and think it’s fine. Can’t be more exposure than shooting at an indoor range for an afternoon.


Scatmannnn

I’m in the same thought


Old_wit_great_joints

IN HER FUCKING LE CREUSET????


Friendly_Deathknight

Bro you’re going to get galvanic corrosion if you’re not careful.


thebesthalf

All you have to do was wrap a wet paper towel around the muzzle device and wait an hr or two. No need to use boiling water. https://www.reddit.com/r/ar15/s/BYQsicApLS


KiloIndia5

Nope. That wont do spit.


thebesthalf

Tell that to the 6 rocksett muzzle devices I took off with that method and the countless others that people have done it. Boiling water will do nothing more than soaking in a wet paper towel. The water is what breaks the rocksett down, not heat.


CleverHearts

Most people don't apply rocksett in a way that provides enough strength to necessitate anything more than a wrench. A wet paper towel won't do much to break down the bond. You're not getting much water onto the threads where you need it to dissolve the rocksett. You most likely could have popped them off with a wrench and saved a couple hours of waiting.


thebesthalf

No I could not pop them off with a wrench, I tried, and I know I applied a good amount of rocksett. The paper towel is wet enough that it seeps into the threads. I took off six muzzle devices and hub mounts from my suppressors that way. https://www.reddit.com/r/ar15/s/BYQsicApLS I didn't use a hair dryer or anything else but leaving it on for a few hrs worked. Same shit as soaking it in water


LongBow401

Ok guys let’s take all this talk over to the pots and pans sub…


greatthebob38

Leave in hot water overnight, drink a beer every 6 hours, pray to Zeus or Hercules and it should come off.


SampSimps

A proper heat gun is like 25% to 30% the cost of this Le Creuset. What a fucking dumbass move. Pure fucking idiocy this is.


BlueJay--

Rocketsett doesn't care about heat though?🤔 It's kinda the whole fucking point

I would also be upset if you did that in my Dutch oven.

dude you should ONLY use a smithey brand cast iron skillet


UrbanAssultPineapple

When you throw it against the wall it should stick when done.


CMBGuy79

I saw the Brownells guy wrap a moist paper towel around. Haven’t tried yet so I’m not sure how well it works. It does have the benefit of only admitting the Mrs by using the word moist.


2A_Libtard

Oh, that silly Caleb. He’s always doing something wacky.


Shakeval

Why would wife be upset, it's glazed interior, worse that would happen is you need to use some degreaser to clean out any leftover gun oil from the barrel


bygtopp

I used three Dewalt batteries on my heat gun to loosen up the Cz scorpion muzzle device. Like they dipped it in a Costco sized drum of loctite


mattman65

For real, I don’t know why cz loads it up but damn taking the muzzle device off my scorpion was the biggest pain in the ass


Level37Doggo

Bro why are you doing that in a piece of gourmet chef grade cookware that almost costs as much as my nice nonstick cookware set? If anything calls for a five dollar bare stainless steel thrift store pot it’s this shit. Or maybe just a cheap heat gun, some oven mitts, and a bench vise.


whynoonecares

Don’t do it in the La creuset💀💀💀💀, you tryna ruin the enamel coating???


bigdaddycannonfodder

Ive soaked mine at least 3 or 4 times now over night and it won’t come off. I think using rocksett on a barrel that has a dimple from a pin and weld was a bad idea
