RE: Re:Which brand for stainless steel cookware?

[Guest guest]

Thanks! I understood that Mercola's stuff is made of ceramic, but what is it

coated with?

I was just reading some posts about glassware exploding (rare but happens),

so I'll be staying away from that too!

hi I've looked at Dr Mercola's stuff; I'd rather try one piece of his stuff

before buying a whole set and there's no way to do that, at least, not that I

can see from the website.  anyway his stuff is currently on sale (free shipping

or something) but I won't be buying till after the new year.  the sale will be

over by then.

 

I have had a few pieces of le creuset and had good experiences with it.  I did

not buy them at the outlet stores so maybe buying the " first quality " stuff is

best with that brand.  I dunno.  and Sonoma has been good for those.  I

don't think they would keep faulty product on their shelves.  If they do I

expect they would get alot of complaints for the prices they charge for that

stuff.  which is not good for business...  I would guess some of the faulty

stuff is being sold as seconds, at discounted stores or outlets.  I have seen le

creuset items fairly at places like Tuesday Morning etc but always wondered why

it was there (usually marked discontinued) and never purchased it there because

I want to get pieces that can be a part of a matching set.  If they are

discontinued... whats the chance of that.  At least if I do pay the price for

the good stuff I know I would make a complaint to or through W & S if it flakes.

 

I use some glass items too; but then there were concerns about lead in pyrex and

possibly other glass items, and well it seems like nothing is perfect.  I need

new pans so I gotta pick something.  and pretty soon too as my pan supply is

dwindling...

I was also thinking that ones with flaking enamel on Le Creuset are using

abrasive material to clean the cookware.

I read a bad review on Mercola's stuff - I think they're made in China, and

the quality is not that great. So I might have to dish out the money for a

Le Creuset.

I was wondering about the quality of the Mercola stuff - it's quite

inexpensive. We use Le Creuset and it's great, but heavy as hell. Of

course, you do have to exercise some care with it, as enamel can chip and

scratch.
