A thoughtful gift idea for newlyweds or anyone setting up a first-time kitchen, this five-piece cookware set from Le Creuset provides three commonly used pieces for everyday cooking. The assortment consists of a 1-1/4-quart precision-pour saucepan with lid, a 3-1/2-quart round French oven with lid, and a 9-inch iron-handle skillet. Use the saucepan for making homemade marinara, the French oven for cooking vegetable soup or a slew of chili, and the skillet for making grilled cheese sandwiches, silver-dollar pancakes, and more--its wide cooking surface and gently curved sides make it easy to flip food before sliding it gracefully from the pan to a plate.
As part of Le Creuset's line of enameled cast iron, the cookware's exterior features a colorful, long-lasting enamel that resists chipping and cracking, while its durable, nonreactive sand-colored enamel interior offers a smooth surface for cooking and an optimal palette for food presentation (the iron-handle skillet comes with a satin black interior). As cast iron is unexcelled for even heat distribution and superior heat retention, and enamel is impervious to acids and odors, the pieces cook food uniformly and gently without hot spots and can be used for marinating, cooking on the stovetop, or finishing in the oven. Thoughtfully designed, the saucepan provides a rounded handle and opposite helper handle; the French oven offers two loop side handles, and the skillet comes with an iron handle with an opposite helper handle--as well as two nondrip spouts for convenient mess-free pouring. Both the French oven and the saucepan supply tight-fitting lids, each with a phenolic knob that stays cool on the stovetop and can withstand an oven's heat to 350 degrees F. Though dishwasher-safe, the cookware should be hand washed for best results.
