Le Creuset Iron Handle Skillet - Black, Chestnut, Dune, Red Review

Like others, I bought this pan after the New York Times review came out on alternatives to teflon (the review said that this pan was terrific).My husband and I eat omelets for dinner several nights a week and our teflon pans were starting to lose their nonstick properties.This pan can work well for cooking eggs. The trick, as others have noted, is to preheat the pan on low to medium heat and then to give it a light coat of oil before adding anything to it.The day I received the pan I made a 5-egg omelet and it came out well -- I was easily able to flip the whole thing without it breaking.I've also made over-easy eggs and they have come out well too.I like this pan better than my old teflon ones because it's less delicate, it's dishwasher-safe, and I don't need to worry about the coating losing its effectiveness.Plus, it produces food with a nice surface, which teflon has a hard time doing.It is not quite as nonstick as a teflon pan, but it gets the job done (and is much more nonstick than stainless).I'm pleased with the purchase.

Le Creuset L7473-0030 Moroccan Tagine (Cobalt Blue) Review

I ordered this following a vacation trip to Morocco. WHY DIDN"T I BUY ONE IN MOROCCO ? I was impressed with the Moroccan style of Tagine cooking but wasn't sure I could count on a lead-free glazes on the Tagines at the markets or shops. I was told the cooking Tagines were plain terra cotta and the decorative ones were for serving only. Before I ordered my Le Creuset Tagine, I put up several jars of salted preserved lemons. When the Tagine arrived I was surprised to find a lighter weight bottom than the normal Le Creuset enamel over cast iron cookware and a heavy pottery chimey top. I read reviews, suggestions and recipeson line and decided to try a chicken, lemon and olive tagine as my first dish. I combined the cooking instructions that came from Le Creuset with a recipe I got in Morocco. When I watched tagine cooking in Morocco, at various stages of cooking, they set the chimey top of the tagines on the edge of the base and ocassionallyremoved it from thebase. I observed the cooking process done on small burners over glowing coals and on wood fired stove tops.When I madethe chicken tagine, I use a FLAME TAMER (a star shaped wire that sits on the electric burner of a stove and dispurses the heat). I watched the tagine and adjusted the lid/cone as needed to more closely replicate the Moroccan style of cooking in my home kitchen. The result was fabulous. Great if you love to cook and fuss with food as I do.

Pyrex Smart Essentials 6-pc. Mixing Bowl Set - Multicolor Lids Review

These bowls are great.I almost got the set with 4 bowls, but I'm glad I didn't as I think the smallest bowl would have potentially been too small.These bowls are very nicely sized.

I like that it is very easy to store these.Simply put the lids on each bowl and next them inside each other.Do make sure they are dry though if you do this as the lids seal extremely well.I've had covered mixing bowls before and they've always sealed like crap.I'm very pleased with how these seal.

These are of course easy to clean.They are easy to use a hand mixer in.They have a variety of very useful sizes for your needs.

I'm very pleased with these items.I don't think I'd recommend putting the lids in the dishwasher in the long term though as I think it could screw up how well the lids seal.The bowls themselves could easily go into the dishwasher though.

Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 15-1/2-Quart Oval French Ovens Review

I got a deal on this monster a few years ago and bought it even though I thought it was way bigger than I would ever need. WRONG! It has become one of the most used items in my kitchen. Large batches of soups or sauces are never a problem, and any extra room just keeps things cleaner due to reduced splash. This pot will hold a good sized turkey, or 3 whole chickens, or 1 whole pork shoulder, etc, etc. Quality construction, very useful, long life. Also, a canners dream. Buy it.

Product Description:
Whether supporting a tray of madeleines or a bubbling cheese souffle, this 9-inch trivet protects heat sensitive countertops and tables while maintaining an aura of elegance. Its intricate design and durable construction are the handiwork of fourteen, skilled Le Creuset artisans. Beginning with raw materials in a creuset cauldron, molten iron is poured into a one-use-only mold, rendering each trivet unique. Le Creuset craftsmen carefully examine the trivet after each step, applying multiple coats of enamel. This detailed workmanship prevents the trivet from shattering easily, plus helps prevent warping. Three solid feet further support the trivet. Dishwasher- safe, this Le Creuset piece can be washed in warm, soapy water after cooling--avoid using metal scrubbing pads. Le Creuset offers a lifetime warranty on this product. --Jessica Reuling

De Buyer Pancake / Crepe Pan, Blue Steel, 24 cm Review

Just used this pan for the first time, and every crepe came out perfectly.The instructions said to brown some vegetable peelings in it before using it the first time, then clean with hot water and NO soap.I did this, and if anything the pan outperformed non-stick ones I'm used to.By the way, the secret to making great crepes is to let the batter rest for an hour or more before cooking.A good way to dry non-stainless cookware like this is to put it back on the burner for a short time after washing.Highly recommended.

Staub Oval Roasting Dish, 11 Inch, Pimento Red Review

This is a good roasting dish.It's 11 inches long and 8 inches wide.Good for side dishes for small entrees.Too small for main dishes.If you have any kind of enameled cast iron you know what to expect.If not: excellent for even cooking, great for cooktop-to-oven foods, and easier to cleanup than regular cast iron.Downside: can't handle rapid heating or cooling (the enamel will crack) and you should use silicon utensils with it to avoid scratching the enamel.I've put mine through the paces with no complaints and banged it a few times with no chipping.Staub and Le Creuset make the best enameled cast iron out there so while it cost a little more it will last a lot longer.

Price wise this goes on sale for about $40 now and then - so if you are on a budget watch for a sale.
