This heavy and gorgeous teapot is a staple in our kitchen. It is reliable, has a pleasant, "loud enough" whistle (more of a hum), and the red color is beautiful. The handle gets warm but not too warm to pick up and pour.
Highly recommend.

Lodge Enamel Coated Cast-Iron Skillet, Red Review

Lodge Enamel Coated Cast-Iron Skillet, Red
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This handy little skillet is actually a HEAVY WEIGHT! It has the durability of cast iron, and the convenience of non-stick coating. I hesitated when ordering because I have had teflon skillets that would flake after a while, but this is not like the non-stick of old. It has a 25-year limited warantee!
Since I have an electric stove, it took some time to learn how to adust the stove because it retains the heat so well. I finally started turning the stove off the last 10 minutes or so. That works great for me. Also, if I'm cooking a steak, I sear it good on one side, turn it, and finish cooking in the oven at 450* for another 10 minutes. That's another thing I like...the fact that the skillet can go right from the stovetop to the oven. Careful, because the handle does get very hot, and also the skillet is HEAVY because it's cast iron, but it's a good heavy!

Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 4-1/2-Quart Round French Ovens Review

Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 4-1/2-Quart Round French Ovens
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
A month or so ago I was crusing the housewares department here at Amazon.com, looking for a Dutch oven. I'd nearly settled on Calphalon, but I read a review (gotta love these things!) which said that though Calphalon was generally the cookware of choice, for Dutch - in this case French - ovens, Le Creuset was the brand to buy. I took this advice to heart, in part because I loved the cherry red finish, and bought this 4.5 quart oven.
I want to thank that reviewer; it was one of the best pieces of advice I've had in ages. Le Creuset has produced one of the best, most versatile pieces of cookware I've ever owned. This pan heats evenly and holds the heat, but you really have to work at getting food to burn in it. It goes from stove to oven to table with real panache. Nothing sticks. Ever. Really, I'm not kidding here because I did manage to burn something by walking away and forgetting about it for an hour. But after another hour's soak and a scrub with a nylon pad, the residue was completely removed, leaving no discoloration of the lovely cream-colored enamel of the interior. I use it nearly every day now; I don't know how I got on for so long without it.
I would also like to point out that the cherry red color is very jolly. It might even provoke you to speak French (or at least with an outrageous Monty Pythonesque French accent) while you're cooking. "Allo, now we add zee ahnyon. Zut alors!" That sort of thing. Of course if you find the idea silly, perhaps you should buy the piece in a more sedate color.
Bottom line, this is a great piece of cookware. C'est vrai!

Le Creuset Classic Whistling Tea Kettle, 1.8 Qt. Enamel on Steel Review

Le Creuset Classic Whistling Tea Kettle, 1.8 Qt. Enamel on Steel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received this teakettle for Christmas 2009. By April rust was evident around the lid opening, around the pouring end of the spout, and at the point the spout joined the body where there was a hairline gap in the enamel. I followed the instructions--never left water in the teakettle, never let it boil dry, didn't bump or jostle it. I contacted Le Creuset and they said to send it back at my expense and they would decide if it merited replacing. Three weeks later the replacement arrived. It is now July and every time I put the lid on the teakettle flakes of rust pop out from under the stainless steel ring around the opening. In the last few days the rust has emerged from under the ring, so I called Le Creuset again. After being put on hold twice and finally getting referred to a supervisor Le Creuset agreed to pay the shipping to return the teakettle. As compensation they will give me a credit that I can only use to buy Le Creuset products from Le Creuset at Le Creuset prices. If I want to get a stainless steel teakettle from them I have to pay an additional $35, although I could get a third enamel on steel teakettle that most likely will rust before Thanksgiving at no additional cost. What a bargain! This is a terrible product with terrible customer service.

Bionaire BFH5000-UM Electric Fireplace Heater with Remote Control Review

Bionaire BFH5000-UM Electric Fireplace Heater with Remote Control
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The fireplace works fine in it's most important aspect: generating heat. It has a stylish, very contemporary design. The glass front is thick and smooth and you don't need to worry about cracking it. The blue backlit display turns off after a few seconds which is nice. Great remote that supports all functions. There are a few annoyances that were weighing too heavily for us and made me return it, though: First, since the unit is only a few inches deep and it is either wall-mounted or on the stand there is no easy way to hide the cord, which really spoils the appearance. The fan is a little noisy and keeps on running even when the heat is turned off, probably to cool the two lamps and to generate the light effect. The "crackling wood" sound effect sounds hollow and thin but can thankfully be turned off. Finally, the light effect is not realistic at all, just a waving background.
If you don't mind these annoyances, it is a good product.

For instant warmth plus ambiance, this electric fan heater features realistic glowing logs and embers for the beauty of a fireplace without the hassle of cut wood, an open fire, propane, or fumes. The unit requires no installation and can be placed in any room with its sturdy floor stand or wall-mounted with the included hardware. Simply plug it in and turn it on. Heat emanates from vents below the glass, quickly heating up the room, and the realistic flame effect can function with or without the heat. Push-button controls and an easy-to-read programmable digital display makes it effortless to operate. The unit's thermostat allows for setting the fireplace to a comfortable temperature, while its 12-hour on-off timer can be set to preheat a room or to automatically turn the heater off after a specified amount of time. In addition, the unit's remote control works great for adjusting the temperature from across the room. Safety features include tip-over protection and overheat protection, which automatically turn the heater off if it accidentally gets knocked over or starts to overheat. With its sleek modern design, the fireplace heater measures 31-1/4 by 4 by 23-7/8 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

OXO Good Grips Click Click Tea Kettle, Brushed Stainless Review

OXO Good Grips Click Click Tea Kettle, Brushed Stainless
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I usually love Oxo products, and own many different ones, from utensils to bowls to graters, etc. So when we registered for wedding gifts, we immediately looked at Oxo kettles, expecting the same good performance.
Unfortunately, this kettle has a major design flaw that is causing us to return it. About the tenth time we used the kettle, the knob came right off of the lid. When we inspected it, it is apparent that the knob was bound to detach eventually, and it cannot be reattached! Instead of being screwed on with metal, the knob is plastic throughout, and is just sort of 'stuck' onto the metal dowel that sticks up out of the lid. So there are no threads to keep it in place. With all the force that is needed to pull up on the lid to open the kettle for filling, the plastic just wears away (little black plastic shreds came off with the knob). And like I said, this was only the tenth time we'd used it.
The other three models (shown on the Oxo website) have a handle rather than a knob, so hopefully they are better designed. We will be returning this and looking at other brands.

KitchenAid Gourmet Porcelain Enamel Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware Set, Red Review

KitchenAid Gourmet Porcelain Enamel Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware Set, Red
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This cookware set makes preparing meals easy - we love the balanced weight, even heating, and nonstick surfaces in both skillets and pots. We've been using daily for about a month, and here is what we've noticed:
Pros:
- HEATING: Very even (we have a gas range)
- WEIGHT: Very light and balanced (I thought they were too light to cook well, but they actually do! They are also balanced if you try to pick them up while full.)
- COOKING: Very even cooking across surface (no hot or cold spots)
- LIDS: Clear glass lids (you can boil water faster with lid on and actually see when it's ready)
- HANDLES: Silicone pads on handles help to keep the grip cooler (but I still need hot pads to fully pick pots up)
- SURFACE: Non-stick works very well. Normally stuck-on food releases easily. (But the coating is already starting to scratch - see below)
Cons:
- SCRATCHES: Non-stick is already showing small scratches even though we only use nylon & silicon utensils. Have owned these for about a month of daily use.
- BOLTS: Bolts where handles attach to cookware on inside can be difficult to clean around after, say, scrambled eggs
- SMALL SKILLETS: Skillets (8.5- and 10-inch) are smaller than they sound. (Room for one/two eggs or one pancake or one sandwich. They aren't meal-size.)
- DISHWASHER: Not technically dishwasher safe. Color fading from dishwasher. (I realize the instructions say they aren't dishwasher safe. Really? We're a family with small kids and we don't have time to hand-wash our dishes if we want to try to keep the kitchen clean. So I will live with the fading. The online description should warn that this set isn't dishwasher safe.)
Overall, a functional, pretty little set. The 3-qt deep skillet is my new favorite. I make a lot of one-dish meals, and this performs perfectly. However, I wish the set came with a bigger skillet (12-in) instead of the tiny 8.5-inch which isn't very useful.

This cookware set is an exceptional value, including all of the pans needed to equip your kitchen with the most used cooking pieces. As the set contains only basic pieces, you'll really use each and every pan. It includes saucepans for whisking a homemade sauce or cooking your morning oatmeal, a big stockpot for soups, stews or boiling pasta, and skillets (probably the most used pan in any kitchen) that will help you turn out perfect crepes or a simple grilled cheese sandwich. The set also includes a saute pan, a wide, straight-sided pan that can perform many of the functions of a skillet but features deep sides for extra capacity, perfect for one dish meals. Start your dish in this pan by sauteing onions and browning meat, then add your liquid and other ingredients into the same pan to finish on the stovetop or in the oven.

I purchased the white version of this tea kettel at my local target store to replace my 10 year old worn out tea kettel. I was very pleasantly suprised at it's ease of use, sleek design, and functionality. The water heats up quickly and the whistle is loud enough to be heard over the din of our 4 children, but not unpleasant on the ears if I am in the kitchen with it. The handle stays cool, the lid is snug fitting, the pop up spout is genius, and it is perfectly balanced, and it is an allover great product. I highly recomend it!!

Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 1-3/4-Quart Fondue Pots Review

Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 1-3/4-Quart Fondue Pots
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Le Creuset pot is great. It can cook cheese, broth and oil fondues equally well. Cheese fondues won't burn since the iron heats more evenly than thin stainless sets. It won't break if dropped like the ceramic bowls. You can start on the stove, unlike the ceramic pots, so you only have one to clean. The set is very heavy which keeps it from accidentally tippping (a good thing with a pot of boiling oil). The enamel interior cleans easily even with burned -on food. Looks smarter than the cheap sets too. If you're going to make fondue more than once, get a good product.

Fondue, long part of dining tradition as much as entertaining fare, makes an elegant appearance in this Le Creuset Traditional Fondue set. The enamel coating inside ensures that the pot will not absorb odors or flavors while cast iron construction helps in retaining heat so you can dip over and over and not have to reheat. Plus, it's dishwasher safe. Includes a black enamel burner and stand, 6 stainless fondue forks with different colored ends, and a cast iron, enamel coated fondue pot.

Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 6-3/4-Quart Oval French Oven, Red Review

Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 6-3/4-Quart Oval French Oven, Red
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I agree with the other reviews on the quality, beauty etc. I will concentrate my review on the size of this pot as I had a lot of trouble deciding on size when I was making my purchase.
Le Creusets are good at many things but IMHO the biggest reason for getting one is for its ability to cook gently and slowly over a longer period of time. This lets the flavors of your dish mix together beautifully and I have found more dimensions of taste when I cook this way. It's also very good for searing meats and then slowly cooking it until it literally falls off the bone. So the reason I got a Le Creuset oven is to make stews, pasta sauces, soups, and roasts.
The 6.75 quart, oval oven fulfilled my needs perfectly and I have found this size and shape to be quite versatile. I cook for just my husband and myself, but like many people today we both work so I like to make larger portions and freeze half. This pot will fit a double or even a triple recipe for spaghetti sauces and the like. The oval shape allows a rectangular roast or whole chicken or two smaller hens to fit inside. If you're having friends over for dinner and want to make a bigger roast for 4-8 people, chili for a crowd, etc., this is the perfect size to have.
Some people had told me to get a round one if I do mostly stove top cooking, in order to have more even heat distribution from the round burner. I have found that the heat distributes very evenly on the oval shape, so I prefer the oval because it is a better shape for roasts.
Assuming you already have other pots and pans, and are looking to finally add a Le Creuset to your kitchen, IMO this is a very good size/shape to have.

Oval French Oven - For generations, families have come to cherish the classic cocotte. This everyday Round French Oven (or Dutch oven, referred by most people) never makes it to the cupboard: it goes from the stove or oven to the table to the dishwasher then back to the stove for tomorrow's dinner. If there are leftovers in the pot, save them for tomorrow. You can store it in the refrigerator or in the freezer and not worry about food reacting to the porcelain enamel surface. Le Creuset's colorful and stylish French Oval Ovens elegantly present the warmth and care that goes into preparing a meal. The versatile cast iron allows you to go straight from cooking in the oven or on the stovetop directly to the table for serving. Sit back and enjoy sharing the meal knowing that the built-in heat retention of cast iron will keep food hot enough to serve second helpings.

Le Creuset Enamel-on-Steel 8-Quart Covered Stockpots Review

Le Creuset Enamel-on-Steel 8-Quart Covered Stockpots
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Compared to my favorite Calphalon Commercial Hard Anodized 8-Quart Stock Pot, the Le Creuset 8-Quart Stockpot is much lighter and easier to lift and carry when filled with liquid. This stockpot is not enamel-coated cast iron like the Le Creuset pots and pans, but the colors are identical. It heats up very quickly in comparison, too. Soups, stews, and stocks cook well in this pot because the lid is tight-fitting. I would like it for a second stock pot in this size. I like the Calphalon stock pots better because they all have pasta or steamer inserts.
The Le Creuset Red Pots are not the same cherry red like their famous heart-shaped 2-Quart Pan, but a slighter deeper shade.

These are excellent pots- the nonstick surface is an improvement over regular old Teflon and they're heavy and spread the heat well. Gotta love the splendid red color, too!
I find these cook a bit slow, but that's a good thing; I haven't managed to overcook and mangle a single thing in these pots. The heat spreads well and stays consistent, I haven't had any "cold spot" problems. They're also a snap to clean, I like an OXO Nylon bristle dish scrubber. Nothing sticks and pots almost wash themselves.
I wish they made a 12 inch skillet; but this is a perfect starter set and easier to use than a lot of fancy pots are.

I cook mainly soups and stews (they can be reheated over a few days so I don't have to cook every night.) But my stainless pots tend to burn if I leave them to simmer. I love this pot because it heats evenly and slowly, and the enamel is non-stick or nearly so. I keep mine out on the stove all the time because I like the way it looks--the red is very cheerful in our white kitchen.
My first test run was a batch of minestrone. My recipe takes three days as I make a double beef boullion to start, then finish off with the strained stock and added vegetables. The results were great.
This is a heavy pot and the enamel can chip if you drop the top (not to mention ding your floor.) So be careful.

I bought this set to replace our 13 year old set and have no issues with them so far. Maybe it was my old set but water seems to boil alot quicker with these which is always a help. The main feature that drew us to this set is rubber handles. Alot of the newer stuff has metal handles or mostly metal with a little rubber. We wanted something that we do not need to use a pot holder to move the pots without burning ourselves.
Be sure to read the care instructions; can't not be placed in dishwasher, do not use cooking spray, do not use metal utensils etc...) Not an issue for us but some may be put off by this.
