Customer Reviews of Le Creuset Stoneware Petite Blueberry Casserole
Customer Rating:   Summary: Disappointment Comment: I got one of these for my daughter, who's taking French in High School. As another reviewer noted, the cheap price ones are ugly. Not really blue at all. Nothing like the official product pix. Also for me, it is not made in France, but in Thailand. If I wanted cheap asian pottery, I can go to any dollar store. I'd be willing to pay 3.99 for this; nothing more. Le Creuset lost a customer for life. Glad I didn't try a $200 pot. Wonder where in China those are made? Customer Rating: Summary: extra Comment: this was an added extra, so I did not really care about it. However, my wife has been using it to bake many delectable dishes for my son. Nice surprise! Customer Rating: Summary: Beware of lower-priced seconds Comment: I've been wanting a Petite Blueberry Casserole, but $25 seemed too much for a purchase that's basically frivolous. Then one day I noticed the price was marked down to $19.89 for an unknown reason. The temptation was too great, and I bought one. When it arrived, it was actually larger than I expected after reading some of the reviews. (I've posted two photos of the casserole next to a soda can so you can get a better idea of the actual size.) But what I really noticed was the odd color band around the center of the casserole. The official photos indicate the center is supposed to be a lighter shade than the blueberry color on the top and bottom, but this was so light that the color could best be described as lilac. I hadn't seen a blueberry casserole in person before this, so I didn't know if it's supposed to be that color. But it doesn't look attractive at all. There was also a blemish that looked like a fingerprint pressed into the surface of the lid. I have returned the casserole for a refund. Interestingly, it wasn't eligible for a replacement -- only a refund. Now, I can't say for certain that there's a relationship between the reduced price and the reduced quality, but now I know that if something that's never been on sale is suddenly on sale, this buyer will beware. Customer Rating: Summary: Great piece, lousy retailer Comment: The piece is beautiful, great for deserts or other individual servings of dishes. Wonderful if you have vegetarian or vegan friends and you want to make variations of the main dish for them. This arrived with a chip on one of the leaves. It was a holiday present and I did not inspect it before wrapping. When we discovered that it was damaged, we tried to exchange it. After numerous un-answered voice mail and email messages, we were informed that it was past the 14 day period that they allowed for exchanges. Lovely piece, but try to find it from someone other than The Kitchen Clique. Customer Rating: Summary: Blueberry casserole Comment: This is the most adorable little casserole. It's about the size of a large softball. Very blue. It bakes and cleans up well. I've used it to make single servings of many dishes but I love to roast garlic in it. A good price for this line of cookware. I would recommend it for anyone who likes to cook. I'm sure you'll come up with some very creative uses for it too. And it looks great sitting on the counter top! More Reviews Imagine serving guests their own blueberry crisp, piping hot from the oven in this brightly colored Petite Casserole. It's a fun way to present snacks, dips and other single servings that have long baked or just been chilled. In stoneware, it's versatile enough to go right from the fridge to the microwave, and the well-fitted lid retains heat and flavor. Two small side handles make it easy to serve. Fashionable and functional, it also makes a fun gift. Le Creuset stoneware is ideal for microwave or conventional oven, with beautiful colors and textures that make for amazing presentations, whether formal or casual. Nonporous, so it won't stain or absorb odors, and it's exceptionally durable and resistant to scratches, chips and cracks. Can also be stored in the refrigerator or freezer. 
Choosing Appliance -> Mixer Pretty much the same thoughts as the food processor. High quality mixers are great for making bread or other tough jobs. Every kitchen should have one. Be sure that any mixer has all three attachments: paddle, dough hook, and whip. Also, find a spot on the counter where it can be easily accessed at a moment's notice. Choosing Appliance -> Built-in Ovens Keen cooks may want to take advantage of multi-function ovens - usually aimed at the top end of the market. As well as traditional cooking, fan or fan-assisted cooking and grilling, these ovens offer up to nine further functions. These include: Top element only (browning), bottom element (final cooking of pastry dishes or pizzas), fan and bottom element (delicate cooking), fan only (thawing).

Useful info -> Is stainless steel really stainless? Choose a good quality sink to avoid problems later. Buy cheap and you will discover that stainless steel can stain and even rust! Mild acids such as vinegar will promote rust in stainless steel where the nickel content is low. Stronger acids such as those used by photo processors will have a detrimental effect on all stainless steels. |
