The Beauties

Well, discussion in my last post sparked lots of commentary, so I thought that you would all love to see a picture of my gorgeous girls (and by this I, of course, mean the Le Cresuet pans).

What you see here is the 7 1/4 quart Dutch Oven and the 3 1/2 quart buffet, both in Dune. I love them desperately. The buffet was a last minute decision, but I'm thrilled with it. I've made dinner in there twice already in the past three nights of cooking, and I'm going to use it again tonight. It's going to prove to be very useful, I'm sure. And I'm sure some of you are thinking (as my sweetie did ), "Why Dune when there are other so much more interesting colors?" True, some would consider this choice boring. But it isn't to me. To me its classic and tasteful and gorgeous. I absolutely love the decorating combination of creams and whites because it is clean, simple, fresh, bright and versatile. Those colors are the palette for the whole kitchen (and the better part of the house, actually). We also got a 9 1/2 in. non-stick stainless steel saute pan, which has also already seen a lot of use. One of the best thing about all of these is that Le Creuset offers a lifetime warranty. Anything ever happens to the pan, just bring it back and get new one. Ahh, love.

We only have one, oval 6 qt. dutch oven. Please explain why we would need a different shape or size, so that I can convince Nilda that we too need new Le Creuset pans.

we also have a Le Creuset classic black skillet and a casserole pan in boring Dune (LOL) sweetheart. I'd be willing to look into the risotto pot... thoughts, Mary?

the casserole pan is a must, for sure. I don't have the risotto pan -- I use a saucier for my risotto, and that works ok, but now you've got me to thinking...
