 "A great deal... while it lasts" 2008-07-10
By Melissa M. Bondi (Arlington, VA USA)
If you're shopping for enameled cast iron, you already know the rave reviews for Le Creuset - and I agree with them. But Staub is also a fantastic product line, equally gorgeous and with its own long tradition of French-made craftsmanship.



I prefer Staub for its black, impossible-to-stain interior finish, super-heat resistant brass/stainless handle knobs and the built-in "doufeu" lid ridge to accommodate ice cubes for even more moisture/basting generation. Le Creuset sells a separate doufeu oven, at more than $250, but it's not a feature of their standard French or Coq au vin ovens.



This set is a terrific bargain - the 5 Quart Round Oven has generous handles large enough to fit four fingers, and the dimpled interior lid well described by Staub literature for optimal internal basting.



The griddle is about 9" square, with good-sized ridge depth and a very easy to use removable handle. The au gratin/mini casserole is bigger than I expected, not large enough for an entree but wide and deep enough for three baked potatoes placed at an angle within the pan. Both the griddle and the au gratin have a black, powdered exterior finish, very attractive but not the spectacular grenadine enamel of the cocotte.



I'm going to be lazy and re-print the relevant parts of this review under both the 5 Qt. cocotte and the 7.25 Qt oval (which I also own.) If you're in the market for a French oven, definitely consider Staub's features and quality -- you won't be sorry.

 "A+ for Le Creuset" 2009-11-27
By VRW (Seattle, WA USA)
The cast iron pots alone deserve a 5-star review. I love them so much, I want to buy an additional complementary color set! However, I must admit that I've had these pots for over a year and haven't yet used the stockpot or the casserole dish. So, what would I do with an additional pair if I were to buy the 2nd set? Truth be told, I'm hesitant to use the stock pot because it's steel and not cast iron. I tend to be on the rougher side as far as usage goes and I'd be nonplussed if it chipped b/c I'd know not what to do. This is why the cast iron has been a treasure. So, even though I have miscellaneous pieces I've yet to venture forward with a) I'm beside myself that all these pieces match b)the cast iron can take a beating and look like new after soap&water c) the cast pieces will not ever disintegrate like lesser quality pots d)(if I'm lucky)My children could use these if I look after the pots carefully enough!

Caution:

- Try to rinse as much excess water off the pot/towel dry if possible after washing. Else, there may be early signs of rust. Nothing a rewash and a vigorous towel dry won't take care of though! After I did this, and was quite careful about excess water on my pots, no rust has threatened to return.

- Don't was in the dishwasher. I bought a Martha Stewart cast iron French oven (*not Le Creuset)and after boiling pasta threw it in the dishwasher only to find it covered - Yes, Covered - in rust that would not come off no matter how hard I tried. I only used it once and had to throw it away. Moral of the story: Don't put your cast iron pots/pans in the dishwasher!

 "I REGRET BUYING THE LE CREUSET STOCKPOT" 2008-05-24
By J. Yaki
I bought a Le Creuset stockpot for my wife. She used it a few times to cook rice, then noticed a big hole in the enamel in the bottom of the pot. The pot is not high quality like I thought it was.

 "Indispensable when cooking small amounts" 2008-05-08
By bordercrosser (British Columbia)
This is a nifty little set, and I'm glad I picked it up. While these pieces don't serve all of our needs, they are what we reach for when frying up eggs for one, or other dishes for one or two people. When I unpacked the set, I was worried about the grainy, satin enamel finish on the skillet. But thanks to some good advice from other reviewers, there were no problems. I pre-warmed the pan over medium-low heat for a couple of minutes, then added butter and coated the pan. Then I added my eggs and cooked as usual. Nothing stuck to the pan -- the eggs slid right out, and the pan cleaned up easily with a swish of the sponge and a bit of dish soap. That's it! Don't let the finish on the pan deter you from buying it... just heat it gently before adding butter or oil and all will be well. High heat is unnecessary, as you'll discover. Using the Le Creuset silicone spoon spatula to lift out the food is gentle on the pan and works like a charm.



Almost forgot... the lid for the 3.5-qt round oven in this set fits nicely over the 9" skillet (except the pouring spouts will be exposed, but that's not a big deal), in case you're wondering what to use as a cover for it when the need arises.

 "Easy Cleaning" 2008-03-04
By 711runner (Denver, CO)
In my mind Le Creuset has meant - high maintenance. But I decided to give it try - why not, the price was right. I've been pleasantly surprised. Although you do have to hand clean everything, it's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. The cooking experience has been great too. Everything gets evenly cooked and I believe there is a difference in taste.

 "Buy it.." 2008-01-25
By David Burrell (Nevada)
This is a great deal. This set is manufactured in France, whereas the enamel coated steel Le Creuset pots and pans are manufactured in the far east with about 1/3 the quality, but for a much cheaper price.



Le Creuset enamel coated cast iron is among the best cookware my family has used. My wife likes it even better than the 1930's era 16 piece set of Revere Ware she had inherited from her grandmother, which is world class cookware itself, and now-a-days, a collector's item.



We have several various pots and pans that we have purchased over time from Calphalon and All Clad, but for versatility, even heat distribution, functionality, easy clean up, lifetime guarantee, style and elegance, and beautiful colors to fit in any decor, you can't beat Le Creuset. My wife has been using these pots every day since May of 2007, and they look just like they did when we first brought them home.



They are easy to clean because of the enamel coating, and being cast iron they are a bit on the heavy side, but being cast iron they are extremely durable and don't warp or bend out of shape like some aluminum, steel or copper pots and pans.



This company has many pots and pans that you may add to this special starter set, but expect to pay up to twice as much, on a piece to piece basis, as you are paying per piece in this set.



I have added five more pieces of Le Creuset cast iron cookware to this initial set since last year, and my wife loves every one of them.



Do yourself a great favor and replace all of your old cookware with the Le Creuset cast iron cookware. Not only will you love it, but it is of such quality and durability that you'll be proud to pass it down to your children.

 "25-year owner says, "Looks great, don't trying cooking tho!" " 2008-01-11
By L. Cheeley (Post Falls, ID United States)
I bought these when I married 25 yrs ago. If you like to hang your pans & never use them, these are perfect. If you actually cook in them these have some drawbacks: Yes, the enamel does chip, especially on the top edges where it is most visible. I own the dutch oven in brown, the frying pan in blue, & a small saucepan in brown today, & I had a variety of other pans originally. My saucepan was similar to this one in size, but had a different look, so maybe they have improved it. One piece in my set was a miniature frying pan & the cast iron (all cast as one piece, mind you!) actually broke in two one day when it fell to the floor. LeCreuset, at that time, would sell me a new one for half price instead of replacing it for free as this description states they will do now. I did not buy a new one for half price. Also, the interior will stain on these if burned or if you cook something like huckleberries in them. Food also tends to stick even on the enamel surface, which the frying pan does not have. I was forever soaking the enamel surfaces in bleach & scrubbing them to make them look good again. On my dutch oven & sauce pans the interior was an enamel cream color (although the frying pan was black), so you can imagine the difficulty in keeping those free from stains. Even the exterior bottom surfaces were difficult to keep clean. I found no superior cooking experiences from using these & have now switched to the anodized heavy aluminum pans by Calphalon which do not look as pretty in a picture, but have served me far better than these ever did. I also have tried stainless steel & do not like how food sticks to those either. These require way too much maintenance & pampering along the way if you cook much.
