Would there be any substantive differences between this and the Le Creuset Bistro? It would be nice to have a pan that serves multiple purposes.

The Crepe Pan is 10.5 inches round, the Bistro is 12.8" round. Other than that, the lack of a handle would be the only difference I see.

Hi Lynne, Sorry but I do not know and have never tested it either! I suggest you contact Le Creuset.Either way, be careful in your kitchen!PF

So far as I know, there's only one line of cookware branded Emeril (there's not different tiers of quality). If the set has it pieces you want and it's cheaper elsewhere, go for it!

I would say yes...but i returned mine because i found a cheaper pan in a local store.

No - It is MUCH different. Cirrculon is AMAZING and AWESOME! You will never have food stick to the pan. I highly recommend the cookware. I have had mine for about 20 years - and it looks brand new! BUY it! for sure! Teflon is old and outdated and has chemicals!

I got a Swiss Diamond 12" skillet as a gift, and I loved it! It stayed flat and never warped, and the non-stick lasted pretty well. I used it so much I wore it out in 2 1/2 years. I want to buy another, but it's $130 so I'll have to save up.

I wouldn't. It could probably take it, but it's very easy to clean. Almost "non-stick" without teflon. I'm not sure what the official dishwasher status is from La Creuset, though.

Le Creuset is a French company which is why I imagine they call it a French oven-why call it a Dutch oven when it is made in France? It is the same concept, the same thing. These are cast iron, very heavy and well made and will last for generations if well cared for, therefore, worth the money if you are a serious cook. Can be used on any cook surface, gas, electric, even induction, as well as in the oven. No so with some others. Your name is unusual.

I would contact Le Creuset directly. They are pretty good with replacement and warranty items.

Absolutely. I cook everything that is cooked on the stove top in my Le Creuset. It's great but it is very heavy.

I am not sure which products you are comparing... But I do love the Lodge Dutch Ovens. I own 3 different sizes, and each costs $50-$60.Le Creuset is made in France, and retails between $250 and $400 per "French" Oven. Lodge is made in America, and is great for slow cooking, Braising, cheaper cuts of meat. Pork Shoulder (called Pork Butt in the Grocery Store) with Carrots, Celery, and Onions, with a cup or 2 of water, will be so delicious when cooked for 3 hours at 350F. You should try it. If you have never used a Dutch Oven, it is amazing the flavor that you can get.

The Le Creuset are not non stick. I am not sure if they are marketed that way but if you spay them with a little oil then they work like a charm. We have Calphalon and Le Crueset and both are great brands but the Le Crueset is in a much higher league than Calphalon. You will never retreat buying one!

That depends on how big your counter is! It is not that much bigger than others, and with the embedded heating elements it is much easier to clean and heats a lot faster. I highly recommend it for anyone!

There is no difference in using a convention feature than using a regular oven, it cooks faster. Let me know if this answers you question.

Absolutely! It is better than a stovetop. You can control the temp better, cooks faster, uses much less power and doesn't heat up the whole kitchen. I have not used my stove since I bought this. Make sure you get the right cookware. Take a magnet when you shop, if it sticks to the pan it is the right kind.

Personally, I would stick to using it for appetizer-type service (keeping dips, queso, sauce, etc. warm) for dipping in. The crocks are pretty small for cooking in, I think.

Hello. If you can afford the 3, get it...if the other might be too small, why take a chance? You'll be able to use it more! By the way, ALL-CLAD "rocks"! You'll never be sorry for selecting that maker!!! Professional cook-ware!
