Le Creuset Casserole – Review
Every cook and/or chef has a favorite brand of pots, pans, dishes, etc. My favorite in most pots, pans and various stoneware is the Le Creuset casserole. I like it because I had a choice of colors to choose from in order to make my kitchen light and bright while cooking. Although, I love to cook and my kitchen is my favorite room in the house, there are times when it needs a little brightening up. Le Creuset is a brand that will do just that.
The Le Creuset casserole is made in stoneware as well as cast iron with an enamel overlay and it’s available in a variety of great colors. My preference in the casserole is red and yellow. I have a mini casserole in red and the larger casserole in yellow. I have not yet bought the dishes but that is the next Le Creuset item on my list. There are so many items made by this company that it is almost impossible to decide which item to buy next. After you have had the Le Creuset casserole you never want to use any other brand of casserole.
My Le Creuset casserole is the plain round one but if you are interested in a little artistry on your stove look at the casseroles that are made by this brand that look like bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic and more. I will try one of those after my dishes purchase. These little artistries will not make the food taste better but they can make the cook feel a little more light hearted. At least that is the way I think it will make me feel. As I said, I love to cook but it’s nice to have a little diversion from the ordinary round pots and pans. It also makes serving in such a casserole nicer than plopping a round casserole pot on the table. The latter reminds me of a soup kitchen where a little artistry in a pot or pan makes serving the food in the pot is was cooked in a little more special. It took me a long time to bring myself to cook and serve the food in the same pot because there was never anything attractive enough to suit me. The Le Creuset casserole did the trick I now like to cook and serve in the same pot.
Like everything one buys there is often a drawback. I found that my Le Creuset casserole lid did not fit right and had to return it to the company. They were very nice about the exchange and the service was quick. The only other drawback with the Le Creuset casserole is the price. The price for all of the Le Creuset products including the casserole is high. But again, If you want quality you have to pay the price and the Le Creuset brand shouts high quality. No matter the ill fitting lid and price I love my Le Creuset casserole.
