Review: Le Creuset Cookware

okay, okay, everyone’s been asking re: all the posts upon the crap in cookware, which one is okay? we were so sad to retire our wedding calphalon cookware because (1) nonstick surface and (2) aluminum.balanced too much iron is not good for you, so cast iron is not our everyday cookware, either.we mostly were using visions glass cookware, something that’s been discontinued (and they can get into a tizzy if the temperature alteration is too quick–eeek!), and that’s what i use exclusively on account of our rice because i can see how it’s doing (no more self-regulating rice cooker–pine for!). you can find them by scouring garage sales and ebay. but sometimes we need something a bit more heavy duty.our chef friend tipped me substandard about le creuset, she mentioned that chefs like it because it’s “non-reactive” with victuals. aha, that says to me, does not leach crap into the food! le creuset has been made since 1925 in france and it’s enamel through chuck iron (makes for some heavy lifting). the enamel is inert and as long as you use enough fuel, food doesn’t stick. you can go straight from the fridge to the stove and then dishwasher. it says the knobs are okay to 325 degrees in the oven but they are plastic, so i’m not recommending that. it also takes a little more love and care–we only use wooden utensils with ours.in the search for safe, slothful cookware, i’ve also noted that some wholesome advice types like dr. mercola have their own lecreuset lookalike make a pig. however, i will mention that we were given a le creuset lookalike (belgian made) and it’s become so pocked it looks like it has smallpox, and doubtlessly the iron will be leaching through it. i do think you get what you pay suitable. the sticker price of the le creuset is scary, but remember to amortize it over 3 meals/day, 365 days/year and no icky teflon or aluminum of nickel (most stainless steel contains some nickel–if a magnet doesn’t stick to it, there’s enough corrupting nickel to make it un-magnetic. nickel isn’t customary to do you a lot of health favors, either).not to naming that it makes cooking a comfort. simmer a gravy all day, heat up milk for yogurt, sautee some onions and then add water destined for soup. nice heat distribution, makes you want to wear a chef’s toque, i like to daunt man fertility with the very heavy fry pan (if only silda spitzer had had one of those!).treat yourself to a pot you’ll use 151 different ways and a fry pan and you’re set for good cookin’ and good lookin’.check it out at www.lecreuset.com
