Irons Reviews

This set is an attractive and easy way to serve and pass hot food items, and the lids are great for storing leftovers. One of the glass bowls was broken upon arrival to me and Pyrex replaced it free of charge. The basket weaving is not the best quality - many areas are not tightly woven and were already split before I even used them. Hopefully the baskets will last a long time and will clean up easily. I would like to see these offered in different sizes and sold separately.

I have the 5 piece set and it is great! Instead of putting left-overs in tupperware, I just snap on the lid. The basket is great for when you are serving dinner on your table, it serves as it's own trivet. Not to mention it is adorable! I get compliments everytime I take the set to someone's house. Smart and affordable gift for the cook in your life!

I purchased this wok for my husband's Christmas present. It was lovely, we cooked two meals in it Christmas day. Nice heat transfer, beautiful on the table (but big). That night, he noticed the handle was cracked where it meets the pan. It's considerably narrower than the normal Le Creuset handle. Back it went to Williams Sonoma, where there were a few other L.C. woks with similar cracks! Phooey to you, Le Creuset.

I wish I could find another glass lidded Joyce Chen wok - my old one was the best, before it was dropped one too many times.

Cast iron is by far the best way to cook, and Le Creuset overall does increadible job. But you need to really know your cast iron. It doesn't need very high temperatures and doesn't like sudden changes from heat to cold. If you remember this - there will be no cracks and a lifetime of fun and joy in the kitchen.

I have not seen a crack in the handle of my new wok, but I am keeping my eyes open. In the meantime, I have used the wok to cook a couple of meals. Keeping with the fine Le Creuset tradition of fabulous cookware, the wok cooks beautifully. I have read elsewhere that high stovetop temperatures may compromise the cast iron, so I keep the heat to medium to medium-high. The cast iron retains heat beautifully, so you won't need high heat to cook. I give the wok five stars so far. If the handle cracks, it's back to Williams-Sonoma for another.

Bought a rotissire from Delonghi and have been very pleased. We were looking for a waffle maker and found this one at Target for 10 dollars less. Had to try it and I must say we were all very pleased. Everyone came back for seconds and some thirds. We can all have our waffles the way we want, some soft, some very crispy. It's very helpful to know that a green light comes on when the iron is hot enough. It also has a nice chime to let you know when the waffle is done. We haven't tried the plates to make sandwiches yet. But again - yummy waffles!

Great Dutch Oven. I would suggest that you spend a couple of dollars more and buy the one that is already seasoned. It is not that difficult to do on your own but receiving it already done and cooked in their ovens it sure to be done exactly right.
Another suggestion for the new folks starting out with dutch oven cooking which was helpful to us is to line the pot with one big piece of aluminum foil when you cook something containing sugar. This will save you when it comes to cleanup. I also know some folks that use it most of the time for all kinds of cooking.
Enjoy!

Great peice of workmanship..Many thanks for all the time and effort that went into the production of this sturdy cast iron cookware..

This was a great buy. The dutch oven arrived safely and quickly. The shipping was free and we had a $15 off coupon. The whole thing would have had to be free to be better!

I bought this iron hesitantly because I wanted one that was also a vertical steamer, but since I have been here in Spain for three weeks I cannot complain. The iron with the adaptor works perfectly with the 230 voltage here and the heat is just right. It is the same quantity of heat that I had in the US and it is sufficent to crease jeans and slacks as well as press dress shirts and other items. It also serves as a steam and dry iron. There is a removable steam tank as well as a spray mechanism in the handle, I recommend it. It comes with a handy travel pouch and an adaptor with a container to put water in the steam tank.
