Le Creuset Saucepans

[floria]

Does anyone has any of their saucepans/ frypans? They look heavy duty and good quality. I like them but don't know if they are worth the expense.

I buy my saucepans in a big box, cheaply (and after my recent thread I shall be off to buy some more :blush: )
Cannot say I could justify spending that much on a pot (for me to burn LOL) But then that sort of thing isn't high on my must have list.

They are DEFINATELY worth the expense. I cannot afford one personally but I know a friend that has a few of their products and she just loves them. I have invested in a Scanpan saute pan and a Furi knife both of which I now cannot live without.

Heh a vacuum cleaner is on my priority list before our old one goes kaput!

Sorry to derail the thread but I wanted to say that we just got a new second-hand one - does that make sense? - I have a problem though in that I cannot for the life of me work out how to put the bag into the holder and then back into the vacuum cleaner.

Doh!! I hope you work it out. I hate the things I have been cursing mine this morning ;)

Firstly to the saucepans...no don't have any of that brand but I do have some Bessemerware one which are expensive too but they are very good quality and worth the money...so might we worth looking into.

Secondly the vacuum's, we just bought a new one, its a Vax maxim, 2200 watts and it is the best one I have ever had (especially for pet hair). We had a nilfisk before that and I ended up taking it back to the shop it was hopeless. Hope that helps you with your choice of a new one.:)

My mum bought me a Le Crueset (sp) casserole dish & I must say I absolutely LOVE it. Even when I burn dinner (which is a regular occurrence), all I need to do is soak it for half an hour & the crud comes off so easily.

Mum bought me a second one when we went to visit her in England. Anybody who's travelled overseas knows you have to keep your baggage weight to a minimum...so buying somebody a Le Crueset dish to cart back on a plane isn't practical. I ended up dumping it with my sister...hope mum never joins these forums as I didn't tell her I gave it away. LOL.
