:headbang: oh dear not again

 

[iloveshopping]

I am just not strong enough to lift this stuff anymore.

 

[boffy]

i have some been using this band for decades but whatever i have not given away rarely see the light of day

 

[spartacus]

I don't see the appeal of Le Creuset or why it attracts hefty price tags. It often seems to appear on a bride to be's wedding gift list, and I sometimes think it's from snobbery value

 

[faerie]

a qvc free day for me then!

 

[Tiddlywinks]

I've been using some of my Le Creuset pots for nearly 20 years and they're still going strong. Our friend has some that are over 40 years old (under their older brand Cousance).

Yes, they're an expensive outlay but they are built to last. You can get cheaper but the composition of the enamelled interior is nowhere near as smooth and thick.

I expect mine to outlast me.

Le Creuset are very good quality but they're too heavy. When I was finally well off enough to afford to buy them I rushed off to the shop and then tried to lift the big pan with one hand and I was not going to be able to do it when it was full of water/food. They have this top quality snob value which is fine (and I wanted and would have paid for them) but they aren't practical for a lot of folk. I have Flavourstone and they are really good. I won't be looking at this TSV.

Far too heavy, and they are not non-stick. I've moved on. Non-stick cast aluminium for me these days!

 

[boffy]

i rarely use mine its the weight more than anything else. i don't find them difficult to clean when i do bother to wieght lift them out of the kitchen cupboard. a soak and a scrub and they look as good as new. in fact i avoid non stick no matter how expensive they always peel and invariably are not non stick.
my new favs are stainless steel non coated pans. lightweight, easy to clean and smart looking

£150 is a lot really for one pan, however, they look great, especially the orange and red ones. Family sized as well which isn't that practical for Mr CC and myself, however, the dog would easily eat what was left over (if I let him) :mysmilie_1:

I bought one in the 1970's when it was a kings random and I really couldn't afford it. What a disappointment- within a very very short period of time no matter what you cooked it stuck like buggery. Even then as a young thing I couldn't lift it so now I would have to get a hoist in just to lift it off the cooker.

i put my red set on the front garden wall when i changed my kitchen color to blue.
