Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know that I have come to my senses and purchased a dutch oven! Please see my original thread from where this all began: http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f89/frying-pan-casserole-pan-or-stock-pot-97504.html#post1498276 Thank you so much for you advice and...

So, after a long few days of deliberation, I decided to treat myself to a Dutch Oven! I popped down to my nearest Le Creuset store on Sunday morning and am now the proud owner of a 28cm (6.1L) Round Cerise Dutch Oven. I was greated in store with a glass of bubbly as the store had a valentines...

What is the diameter of your saute pan? The largest stainless steel saite pan that I can find here in the UK from a decent supplier is 24cm or about 2.5lts. I'm not sure what that is in quarts.

Yeah I guess so, though people seem to have had a lot of success with the All-Cladd stainless steel, so I don't see why the LC Steel should be much different. What inventory of pots and pans do you have may I ask?

I like the idea of getting a cast iron skillet and a dutch oven. I'm not so sure about a set of cast iron saucepans and saute pans as I imagine them to be rather heavy, which will make cooking hard for my girlfriend. Also, they are a bit more expensive and I really do like the look of the...

That video was great, I've watched a few of them now, including one where he sautes some medallions in a pan with red wine. That looked yummy!

That said, I have managed to find a 28cm uncoated frying pan on ebay, quite pricey though and not sure where it comes from as that size definitely isn't sold in the UK retailers or outlets.

I've kind of narrowed it down to which saucepans I am going to get, a set of 3 which comes with a free small non stick frying pan. From the sounds of it a saute pan would suit my needs for cooking my large saucy meals that I leave to simmer for half hour or so. The annoying thing is that the...

There is one outlet store a couple of hours away. So I might have to spent the day catching the train there in the hope they they have a decent amount for me. In the mean time I am keeping an eye on all the retails stores that sell them in case an impromptu sale occurs. I've found one...

You're right, this is way more information that I anticipated, thank you all! I'm going to have a look at some of those dutch ovens and see what they are all about, they sound amazing and the thought of braising my meat and then leaving it to stew for hours makes me salivate. I think I am...

I live in the U.K, and subsequently All-Clad cookware is extremely rare and extremely expensive. My reasoning for wanting ale Creuset is that it is much more available and is probably the best quality available for this price range.

It needs replacing as the non stick is coming off, and it is warped beyond measure to the point that the lid falls off wen placed on it. The reason for wanting a whole new set is because I have very little cookware at all, just that, a saucepan and a small frying pan which is also warped and...

I tend to cook a lot of acid foods, its pasta and tomato every other day most weeks. Would a skillet like that be ideal for cooking pasta sauces, ragu and resotto in, or should I got for more of a brasier or large saucepan?

They're similar to the Ines I am looking for. However in the U.K. I think the largest size they do in the SS is 24cm. Any larger, such as the 30cm skillet only comes in non stick.

Oh thanks for the info. I live in the UK so All-Clad isn't really an option as it is more than double the price of any LC. Are your stainless skillets non-stick or un-coated. The Stainless range includes both non-stick and un-coated skillets here in the UK.

Hi Kiwibird, I was just wondering if you ever purchased and of the Le Creuset 3-Ply Stainless Steel pans? I'm also looking to purchase some of these pans but reliable reviews are hard to come by.

Thank's for the welcome, and also for the reply! The braiser that you have linked looks to me as the equivalent Casserole Pan in the UK, see the link. That seems to be more towards what I will use rather than a dutch oven. I do most of my cooking on the hob in relatively short time and all in...

Hi, I've been looking into getting a complete new set of pots and pans for some time now, but I am having a bit of a problem deciding what sort of pans I need. I'm looking at the Le Creuset 3-Ply Stainless Steel range as I love the look and have a load of John Lewis vouchers to use up. I...
