Le Creuset 3-Ply Stainless-Steel 4-1/4-Quart Covered Casserole

The Best Clad Cookware
After doing rigorous comparison shopping, including looking at commercial clad cookware like Vollrath Tribute, I consider the new Le Creuset cookware to be the best available, hands down. The lids are thicker, the pot bodies are heavier, and the handles are more comfortable. These pots and pans put brands like All Clad to shame.

Yes, they are made in China. Only All Clad, which now makes their handles and lids off-shore too (they don't tell you where) and Vollrath are made in the US. All Clad is no better than Cuisinart (which would be my second choice, and a lot cheaper) or Calphalon, now discontinued, in the clad cookware category.

Le Creuset Stoneware Petite Raspberry Casserole, Red

Beautifully made
Of course, le creuset has excellent quality: this adorable little ramekin is perfect for service a warm dessert or side dish. Or 1 serving of soup.

MATBAH Stainless Steel Hot Pot Insulated Food Server Casserole - Keeps Warm Upto 4 Hours, 2-Liter/2-Quart

Water spot easily and look bad
The product works well ~ though keeps things cold or hot only for about 2 hours not 4 as I'd read ~ but even when I wash it in the dishwasher and use my "non-spotting" stuff they spot really badly and I have to work hard to "buff" out the water spots before using them. I never seem to get them all, either. Not good when you're trying to make a good impression (we give photo workshops and serve lunches and things need to look professional).
