This adorable set is the perfect compliment to my expansive enameled cast iron collection. Of course, part of the joy is seeing those emblematic circles and the Le Creuset brand on those darling stainless steel lids. I opted for the Signature Collection out of pure vanity for this reason. I just like my pots to match and if that's what I want, who can argue? I decided I needed a small set to fill in around my enameled cast iron collection, and this did not disappoint in the least! Take the time to learn how easy it is to test stainless steel cookware prior to adding oil and food with simple water drop tests and the cookware is non-stick, just as Gourmet chefs know. Don't follow those instructions and I'll need to use some Bar Keepers Friend afterward to buff them back to Perfection. Even so, what's the big deal about a quick little scrub to return the pan to new condition? These should last us years. Thankfully, life has sweetened for me so that I can be present with my family as much as possible and am reveling and preparing three meals a day for my loved ones since the kids are homeschooled and I maintain an office at home. These have been perfect for a quick breakfast or lunch preparation, if for some bizarre reason I'm not using my enameled cast iron. That said, the set has been a go-to for my teenage and young adult kids who might feel a bit intimidated using enameled cast iron. The set gets daily use and I find the quality and ease of use to be excellent and worthy of the brand emblazoned upon it. Buy it. You won't be disappointed!
