$80 Tyler Florence Lasagna Dish: Ridiculous
Posted on April 14th 2009 by FNH Staff

tyler-florence-lasagna-pan

In honor of Tyler’s complete inability to handle any constructive criticism regarding his lame new website, feast your eyes on our ridiculous Food Network Product Of The Month: this ugly $80 “Baroque” lasagna dish by Tyler Florence. That’s “Baroque” – pronounced “B’ROKE” in honor of what you’ll be after you purchase it. EIGHTY DOLLARS! For a dish! And guess what? All profits go towards helping Tyler’s out of control ego grow even larger.
.

FNH now proudly presents: TOP 5 BETTER WAYS TO SPEND YOUR $80:

.

1. Buy every Clay Aiken song on iTunes

2. Buy 80 items from the McDonalds Dollar Menu and have a party with some seagulls

3. Call a random person in Japan from your cell, and try to explain to them who Tyler Florence is

4. Burn your $80, and use the flames to make S’mores

5. Buy a $20 pan, write a nasty note, and spend $60 UPS’ing them overnight to Tyler

    You could not have summed it any better. No he certainly is not “all that “. He is a total jackass that has serious wandering eye syndrome. Apparently this guy is a hounddog supreme.

  3. scot says:

    this is retarded. i made “real” lasagna – very authentic 2 and 1/2 weeks ago for a dinner party. with a really nice salad, apps, garlic bread, the main course and tiramasu for dessert-for 20 people-the whole thing MIGHT have cost $65. and that was for 20 godamned people. charlatan. who does he think he’s kidding….

  4. Glossy Luxe says:

    LOL!!! We would also like to recommend that you consider using $80 on Paula Deen’s weekly supply of butter or Sandra Lee’s recipe for slow-cooker sangria.

  5. Tatiana says:

    $80 wouldn’t cover the cost of Sandy’s weekly allowance for booze!

  6. Hairball says:

    Scot,
    Your menu sounds nice and I bet your guests had a lovely time!

  7. Betsy says:

    Tyler Florence walks like he’s got acorn cob up his hienie …

    Dear Scot and Genevieve,

    Oh for crying out loud Scot, do PLEASE stop rising to the bait. Your Francophobia was kind of amusing at first, but now you’re just sounding like a whirly-girly whiny little bitch. It got old a loooong time ago.

    And Genevieve, fiche-moi la paix. Your Francophilia is worse than Scot’s phobia – tiresome, boring and tedious to the point of moronic.

    Love,
    Everyone else

    This was really funny!!!! I have a newfound dislike for Tyler Florence after reading his twitter feed. Is anyone more in love with themselves?

  10. Alex says:

    Tyler is NOT all that.

    Well said, FNH.

    Dare I say the only thing “off the charts” lately is his weight.

    • Steve says:

      Well said, Alex! Couldn’t agree more. Ol’ Tyler is also having a harder time these days getting away with that “boyish” grin he flashes during the opening of his Ultimate show.
      This lasagna pan is the ultimate, for sure. The ultimate in stupidity if you actually shell out the bucks to buy it. What’s wrong with this guy? Just another prime example of the crap FN and their hosts are attempting to sell to the public. And the sad this is….some people will buy it!

      *Boom! K?*

  11. scot says:

    sorry bananas to be a whiny bitch. maybe you can comment a little more with your witty responses, and my whirly-girly comments won’t be needed any longer. i’m very sorry that you had the problem of reading any of my replies. really didn’t want to trouble you that much.

  12. Sabrina says:

    Hit my wallet one more time!!! I need GreeseBallGuy’s “Money!!!” for that one. Maybe I can get one that does not exceed my $40 a day allowance on food and beverages for the day. Eighty dollars can even buy Duff a month for Weight Watchers (yes Mary Alice can even join too) with free registration weeks approaching. But speaking about the beverages I can always steal from Aunt Sandy, she will never know a Goose was gone.

  13. Automne says:

    “In honor of Tyler’s complete inability to handle any constructive criticism regarding his lame new website…”

    Wait, what? I missed something. Did he have a bitchfit somewhere and I didn’t see it?

  14. leah says:

    I too made lasagne last week and I think the whole thing only cost me about $30.00, and that included garlic bread. Heck I can go to Walmart or KMart and buy a corningware dish for somewhere between $25-$30. $80 in this economy,Tyler are you out of your mind? I want to buy a lasagne pan, not get reamed up the old pooper. I wonder how sales are at his “new” store.

  15. well spoken. i never thought a lasagna pan could be douchebaggy, but then, i never thought about one marketed by tyler florence.

    also @leah: “reamed up the old pooper” = my new favorite phrase.

  16. Jenni says:

    Thank god I am not the only lone voice crying in the wilderness about Ridiculously Overpriced Kitchen Items. Excellent, and I am right with you. I don’t watch FN (pronounced eff’n for a reason); I’m surprised that Tyler has gotten a big head considering his southern upbringing. Shame on him!

  17. potty mouth princess says:

    Yeah, what happened behind the scenes? Did the Flobee call you out?

    Dude makes millions. Some idiots out there are buying his overpriced made in China garbage. But he can’t hire a competent website designer and whines when he gets called out?

    Grow a pair, Tyler.

  18. erica says:

    Overpriced aside, all I can think of it “WHO would be willing to scrub all those crevices?!”

  19. Erin M says:

    I`m very surprised about the bad press here surrounding the price on the lasagna pan. I thought most people on this site where foodies, not just the average Joe web browsers. After reading the negative comments surrounding the $80.oo pan, I have concluded I was wrong the majority out there are not food & cooking enthusiasts. If you where you would realize the price of this pan is quite quite reasonable!! Try to buy a baking dish as beautiful, large and crafted for this price anywhere & I highly doubt you could! Go to any established retailer ( William Sonoma for instance, places where you get what you pay for in the culinary world) you wont even find a gem like this. There was one close but ,it was 4 inches in diameter smaller and only cost $7.00 less than Tyler`s. The reviews for this dish from people who actually purchased it, was “Highly Recommended” overall. So for me I would be proud to own his $80. Lasagna dish and I would serve up his lasagna bolognese recipe as soon as I brought it home!!

    • Steve says:

      Well, regarding the comment “Williams Sonoma…places you get what you pay for”. Ummm….not really. Absolutely no disrespect intended.
      For instance, they sell Le Creuset and All-Clad, but if you go to an outlet store or directly to their website, you’ll avoid the WS markup. Same for most all of the high end appliances they sell. And their Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Vanilla? I’ve found the same exact product elsewhere at least 30% cheaper…same stuff. I like the Williams-Sonoma store, but for me….it’s a browsing store. You absolutely don’t get what you pay for there. For instance (on the small end) you can buy a wooden citrus reamer from WS for $8.50, or go to Bed Bath & Beyond and pay $5.99 for the same thing. And believe me, that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

    • Tatin says:

      It’s a piece of cheap porcelain made in China slapped with his name on it. Not worth $80. Get real.

  20. dan says:

    Well then, Erin, you’re exactly the type of nit-wit that Tyler Florence and the Food Network are counting on exploiting. Have fun with your $80 pan. I’ll be enjoying my lasagna in my $36 lasagna pan and the remaining $44 will be earning interest in the bank.

    (Spending $80 on a lasagna dish doesn’t make you a cooking enthusiast. It makes you silly.)

  21. Erin M says:

    Dan Dan Dan, I`m not a gambling gal but if I where to bet, I would have to say your not a Food Network or Tyler Florence fan, because if you where you would not think of these Brands (lets say) as Exploiting people. They are selling a quality item to people who like quality goods. I`m a business women, I`m not silly, a nit wit, or a nieve person or any other way you would blindly like to see me. People need to make money, business`s need to make money that is the way the world goes round, I`m sure your smart enough to know that. This is a company and a person selling a product that will out live your $36. pan any day. Look at it as a bigger picture if you will, a BMW will out last, run and perform better than a Neon any day ( not putting down Neons just using a example here ) because in Life you get what you pay for. Not always, but if your smart enough to do the research on a item before you purchase, then YES you do get what you pay for. My comment which I wont comment on again, was meant to say just that nothing more. You mention $$ and earnings,The money I have earning interest in the bank are from items I dont need to keep buying over and over, because I buy Smart & I buy Quality.

  22. Dan says:

    Erin, “your” a businesswoman? Then why don’t you know basic grammar? You should learn the difference between YOUR and YOU’RE because you confused them about 8 times in your comment – and it distracted me from whatever it was you were trying to say.

  23. Byrdie says:

    You can also by a garbage bowl with Rachael Ray’s name on it for fifteen bucks. Or $33 for Ina Garten’s hot freakin chocolate. Paying top dollar doesn’t always equate to a smart purchase. A fool and his money are soon parted….

    • Steve says:

      LOL! That garbage bowl has to be the end-all, be-all! What a load of crap! So well said, Byrdie! I guess I must be trailer trash because I pull out a trash can for the stuff that can thrown away (what a concept, huh?) and the other stuff, goes down the disposal.

  24. Tatiana says:

    Reminds me of the time I saw some cute bamboo placemats in NYC’s Chinatown for $6 each, then went to Conran’s the following week and saw the EXACT same item being sold for $22. Prestige and misbegotten elitism can be quite expensive at times.

  25. Sara says:

    Tatiana I must say, I love the way you write!

  26. Tatiana says:

    Thanks, Sweetie!

  27. Amy says:

    I just purchased the dish for $45.00 at his store. It’s beautiful.

  28. [...] First, there was Tyler Florence’s hideously overpriced lasagna dish. [...]

  29. Nora says:

    I pay the lasagna! If Tyler comes to have dinner with me! So, with chef included jajajaja

    • Trufoodie says:

      He’d have to leave his enormous head outside, because it sure as hell wouldn’t fit in the front door!

  30. Trufoodie says:

    Hey, there Tyler, c’mon yawl up to B’rokeback Mountain. We’ll take turns adjusting that ego of yours…..
