 Le Creuset 7-Piece Spatula Set with Crock, Blue January 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought these because I liked my Mom's set but when I got them they were bigger than her spatulas. The spatulas were flimsy and you wouldn't be able to scrape out anything thicker than pancake batter. I was very disappointed in the quality and returned them.
 A perfect gift. January 25, 2008
I purchased this as a gift for my son who is a great cook. He absolutely loves it. I was very happy with the timely way my order was handled.
Beautiful Le Creuset Stoneware Crock with Silicone Spatulas January 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I received this spatula set in red free with the purchase of a 5 1/2 quart red Le Creuset dutch oven. Even with the free super saver shipping, I received this item within just a few days of ordering via UPS. The crock matches the cherry red dutch oven beautifully.
Though I have only used this set for a few days, so far, I am very, very happy with it. Firstly, the color of the stoneware crock is beautiful, graduating from a dark red at the bottom, to a lighter red at the top. Even though there is literally nothing in my kitchen to match red, the quality and beauty of the set made its own place on my counter top. It is very cheerful and easy on the eyes. Though I was suspicious about using silicon utensils while cooking, I did some research, and found that the silicone is heat resistant to 800 degrees!
I used a few of the spatulas today for the first time making huevos rancheros with refried beans. The spatulas worked beautifully scooping the pureed beans and salsa from the food processor, and worked equally well sauteeing onions and these ingredients in my hot non-stick skillet. I've been a wooden spoon man all of my cooking life, but these spatulas, which combine flexibility with heat resistance, are hard to beat. I may well begin to reserve the wooden spoons just for scraping fond and the like.
Although America's Test Kitchen gave the Le Creuset basting brush an average review, I used it today to brush veggie oil on some corn tortillas before putting them in the oven, and it worked great, and did not drip oil from the bowl to the tortilla.
In contrast to the remarks left by others, though I received this set for free, I believe it is worth Amazon's asking price. In addition to being functional, the beauty of these Le Creuset items gives you a jeune sais quoit warm and fuzzy when you finally finish cooking and simply stop to look at them. They begin to look like hard working, very attractive friends just then.
great deal - compared to separate prices January 7, 2008
This set has the nicer ergonomic rounded handles compared to their old flat sticks. It is nice that the tips come off to toss in the dishwasher and love the slotted spoonula.
Very nice price direct from Amazon.
Best kitchen tool set purchase you will ever make!! December 18, 2007
I honestly have no idea what these other people are talking about when they review this product poorly. Clearly they do not spend much time cooking. These tools are indespensible to me and I have replaced what I previously owned one by one with these as gifts. Sadly, I was not aware of this set, so I had to purchase one by one. I now own each item you see pictured, paid more, and do not have the pretty crock to boot! This IS a good deal, friends. These will out-last any of those cheaper items, will look beautiful sitting on your counter, and do the job better than any other comparable tool out there! I absolutely love how they scrape a bowl clean with one firm swipe. My daughter says she doesn't like them as there is nothing left for her in the bowl when I'm done! And they clean up like a DREAM, which again, cheaper ones do not - most of those stain almost immediately or not long after you have them. My bright red Le Crueset spatulas and basting brush look brand new all the time. I will concede that there seems to be a bit of a problem with the newer spatulas - that the ends can pop off (they're not glued I guess for easier cleaning?), but that rarely occurs and still does not change my opinion.
