BRILLIANT LE CREUSET trio! January 7, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The oven gloves are ideal with a 'long' stretch, the whisk is the best we have ever found and the CAST IRON casserole completes this useful trio which comes in a variety of sizes and colours, at Amazon, today.
WHISK:- Yet another 'can't-do-without' item from Le Creuset, this fully encased silicon Whisk is completely hygienic as there are NO food traps. Stain resistant/does not absorb flavours. Heat resistant to 800F/425C, so can be used in a pan on the hob. The silicon coating doesn't scratch, so it can be used in any bowl or pan. Ergonomic weighted handle makes stirring easy and comfortable. Dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Available in patriotic Red, White or Blue and pretty enough to have hanging around in your kitchen!
CASSEROLE DISH:- Capacity : c 3.2L Le Creuset Code: 25002.25
Boxed/Use and Care Instruction Booklet included.
Simply brilliant - this versatile casserole dish/cocotte/French Oven is ideal for all sorts of recipes and my current favourite is from Lindsey Bareham's book- `The Fish Store':- `Pot-Roasted Chicken with Onions', a brilliant way of cooking a whole chicken in the oven.
Manufacturer's Details (copied here to enhance the Amazon product description) LE CREUSET CAST IRON:- `Favoured by professional chefs, cast iron cookware simply obtains the best cooking results from all heat sources. Even heat retention allows cooking efficiency at low or medium temperatures, therefore conserving energy and keeping fuel bills lower. Suitable for any hob-top or pop it in the oven; elegant enough to take to the dinner table.'
Easy to use and clean by hand or pop it in the dishwasher. With a little care, these cast iron dishes last for years.
And when you use CAST IRON, you will need the `BEST pair of OVEN GLOVES, by a LONG STRETCH', too:- Manufactured from 100% cotton canvas and towelling, this easy to care for pair of oven gloves are simply outstanding. Coated with Teflon fabric protector for resistance to spills and stains/BS6526:1998 with a special steam and grease barrier for added protection. Money well spent.
