Le Creuset 5-pc cookware set November 29, 2007
18 out of 20 found this review helpful

Le Creuset is superior cookware, and I've never had a problem with it. However, this 5-pc set is disturbingly inferior. When the set arrived, the pouring lip on the saucepan had chipped enamel. The enamel chips were in the bottom of the box it was packed in. I contacted Amazon, showed them closeup photos of the chipped lip, and they immediately sent a replacement set. That set had the exact same issue as the first one, indicating a problem in the manufacturing process. Both sets were returned and my account was credited.

Amazon told me they would remove this set from their website until they could inspect the other boxes to determine if this was a widespread problem.

I have subsequently purchased additional Le Creuset frying pans and a saucepan from Williams-Sonoma and JC Penney, and all pieces were perfect. I don't know if the Amazon sets were seconds or irregulars, but I would not buy this particular set, again. If others have received this set and none of the enamel has chipped off, then perhaps the manufacturing process has been fixed.

One thing I have learned from this process: Amazon is an awesome company to deal with. I buy almost everything via the internet (including some groceries), and Amazon stands out as being customer-friendly, easy to deal with and interested in making sure customers are satisfied with their purchases. I have no issues with Amazon, only with the 5-pc Le Creuset cookware set.

Le Creuset 5 -Piece Essential Set, Satin Red from a 3rd party vendor on Amazon September 10, 2007
4 out of 18 found this review helpful

This was a wedding gift to a friend. It is an awesome product but I have some issues:

*** There was NO note or name or anything in the package so if I hadn't told my friend it was from me, she wouldn't have known who the gift was from! If you complicate that by the fact that it was a group gift, it leaves something to be desired. Gifts purchased directly from Amazon (and not a 3rd party vendor which is how the Le Creuset was purchased) let you leave a note or, at the least, provide the buyer's name so that the gift recipient knows who to thank.

*** The return policy for marketplace vendors is vague at best and terrible at worst. If I'd have known the returns policies and their various permutations, I would have told her not to register with Amazon at all! To be fair, I haven't had to return many items but each item has been it's own special nightmare. If I'd needed to return the LeCreuset, I am not sure I'd even know how. Luckily, we don't need to.

*** The packaging was fine (especially for something so heavy) and the delivery speed seemed alright (though I can't say for sure how long it took).

I think it was worth for the price. The food last warm longer. The only bad part is a little heavy to care. I will buy another one soon.

Le Creuset Set or Selected Cookware? May 30, 2007
9 out of 10 found this review helpful

I had this Le Creuset 5 piece set on order for some time, and then decided that even though the price was great, I would end up with 2 pots that are too small and a skillet that many reviewers don't like (same goes for Le Creuset black enamel pots). I'm happy with my mix of "seasoned" stainless steel/blue steel, and Le Creuset pots and recommend considering a Le Creuset 4 1/4 qt Soup Pot, a 3 1/2 qt Casserole, and a large French oven (7 1/4 qt) -pretty much in that order, along with steel pots/pans as an alternative to using a Le Creuset 5 piece set as a starting point.
