Chantal Reviews

I absolutely love this tea pot! It is perfect in every way. I can even microwave it to keep it warm!

Perfect little tea pot. Just for two ! If you want to do tea correctly (so I have been told) you should let it steep in a tea pot like this for a few minutes & then enjoy. They were right !!!

This little Teapot has a feel of 'silk' to it. The finish is so smooth and it is just a wonderful little product. I hand paint many china, porcelain and glass items, and this teapot sells every time. If you would like to see one hand painted I have some examples on my website at www.justjillys.com. I paid $15 each for mine, so this is a steal at this reduced price. Jill

I was surprised at the low price, and the beautiful color (cobalt blue). The pan is scratch resistant, and my quiches and tarts turn out beautifully! As good as non-stick.

Can't be beat for the price, and presentation. I'm so happy with it, that I'm going to get a Chantal Pie Pan next.

I use this for quiche, scalloped potatoes, just about anything baked. It is beautiful for serving at the table.

This is a terrific dish that I've used frequently since purchasing. It does a lovely, light quiche and has served as a baker for numerous other items, from baked chicken to a novel "round lasagne". Very pleased with it and it's beautiful enough to serve at the table.

I've had this gratin dish for at least five years... but you'd never know it. It's as shiny and attractive as if it had just come out of the box.

It isn't because I'm a zealous housekeeper; quite the opposite, in fact. I've come to believe that there is no food substance that can stick to the Chantal's finish. Not baked-on cheese, not dried-on gravy from a small pork roast, nothing -- it all usually rinses right off, even before going into the dishwasher.

My dishes are blue, so its bright color looks great on the table, too. Plus, the baking dish is a good size. It's just right for a vegetable casserole, small lasagna, or two twice-baked potatoes. And the price is certainly right!

I recently needed to buy a new souffle dish; I chose the matching Chantal souffle without a second thought.

This is an adorable little teapot. When I received it I was surprised at how small it really was.
I would say this teapot would hold 2 standard tea-sized cups of tea but if you are a heavy tea drinker like me and hubby then you may want to try the 48 oz size. I plan to buy one of the 48 0z to add to my tea collection.
This is the perfect teapot if you have a friend over for tea and you only need 2 servings. It is also very attractive and has a locking top.
When you pour tea from this little pot it is best to pour moving your arm, rather than your wrist. If you use the wrist pour you wind up with tea all over your table linens.
A classy little teapot that would make a nice addition to the tea drinkers collection.

This teapot and others of Chantal are made of high quality ceramic and have been tested (according to them) lead and cadmium free. Well, this is not that important for me. The most attrative feature is probably the semi gloss apperance which looks like made of ivory. Real cool! Highly recommended!

This is an excellent size mug and has a very smooth finish to it. Very comfortable to hold. I ordered four with my Chantal teapot and am very glad I did!

I am very impressed with the feel and size of this mug. It has a smooth feel, and keeps the coffee/tea hot/warm. I ordered one, but will probably be ordering more! Nice! :o)

I really dislike the handle, which suprised me, as it looked like a nice ergonomic contour. The curve ends up making the handle fall away from your palm, making it harder to grip. The grip is made worse by the slippery satin finish on the handle, making this spatula very hard to grip. Worse, it is VERY uncomfortable to use when flipped over to scrape up bits in a pan or using as a stirring tool. The odd-shaped hook on the end makes it even worse.

The leading edge of a spatula should be thin, tapered or rounded, but it's rather thick and blunt, which makes it harder than it should be to slide the spatula under fish with a delicate breading. I first thought I might be able to grind a taper on it, but for some reason (style, I imagine) they chrome-plated the blade, so that would ruin the finish. The Chantal is supposedly all stainless steel, but it is rare to see plated stainless, so I worry that the blade might actually be plain steel, leading to flaking plating, rust, etc.

I originally bought this for its dishwasher-safe construction, but after using it, I wish I'd bought a conventional handle spatula like the LamsonSharp.

It seems well crafted, but the design is lacking. Another case of style over utility!

This is a great product...once you use this spatula, you'll reach for it everytime. The handle won't melt..love that..and the flexibility of the spatula makes it a dream to work with! Fast Delivery!

The mug is a great size for Coffey lovers and matches our Feista ware very well. Good price to go along with that and and my wife is very happy.

As noted, it is big and heavy. My two-cup Senseo coffeeemaker only fills it half way - room for a little cream and plenty of room for sloshing.

I DO have arthritis and I still love this mug - the exterior gets to be a nice toasty warm (not hot)which feels great on my stiff hands, as I wrap them around to take a sip.

For a pretty standard coffee mug, this one gets a lot of comments. I have a set of 4 on my desk and guests have yet to turn down a cup of coffee in one!

If you want a handsome, substantial mug, this is it.

I love this mug.

Pros:

-The 20 oz. size makes it perfect for a college student sitting down to write a paper or read a book - or for that matter, anyone who will be seated for the next hour and needs some comfort while doing it.

-The vibrant red is warming, comforting, and beautiful.

-This mug is not to heavy to comfortably hold, full of liquid, with one hand.

-It insulates well so that fingers aren't overheated while holding it.


Cons:

-This is not related to the mug itself, but the shipping costs are monstrous. Buy at least two if you buy one - I wish I had. It comes in a rather oversized box.
