Chunky Monkey 2 Report post Posted December 25, 2007 I don't have any but intend to buy a Le Creuset 9" Skillet from the Isetan private sales this Thursday for $53 after 10% discount on sales item (sale price is $59, original price is $100++). But it is not be the best, STAUB is on par if not better.Thanks, myle for bringing up STAUB. Definitely worth checking out. I am in the market for a new wok actually ... so it'll be fun checking out some of these enamelled cast iron woks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am in the market for a new wok actually ... so it'll be fun checking out some of these enamelled cast iron woks.Hi Chunky Monkey,I don't know u r looking for a wok actually. STAUB and Le Cre do carry enamelled cast iron wok but but...it is damx heavy and expensive. u can try to carry it and see the price tag in isetan, tangs or takashimaya n c whether it suites u or not. Wok I'll prefer carbon steel those get from kitchenware retail shop. the result is still fantastic although don looks good By the way, STAUB is more expensive than Le Creu, but STAUB is used by famous chef around the world and supported by many hotel restaurants. I can see chef use STAUB to cook in USA (see in open concept counter for buffet) and also STAUB cookware display in The Line@shangrila. I read somewhere that Le Creu is mainly for consumer maraket but STAUB is mainly for hotel environment Edited December 26, 2007 by myle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the teflon coating peels off and u consumes it, it will increase ur chances to get cancer. You still can buy it but must throw n buy new one if u find the coating start to peel off. Use as buy n throw kind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
