The first thing to know about the 12-oz casserole is that it's small -good for individual servings of soup or other dishes, but not intended for much more.

As with all Le Creuset products, this is very attractive and made of high quality materials. I have two, and use them for hot appetizers/dips placed on either end of a large banquet table. It's also an elegant way, if not the most convenient, to warm up leftovers. I gave it four stars because the size limits its utility; if you know you want smaller casseroles, these are a good choice.

Love these little individual casserole dishes. I use mine for everything from individual potato's gratin to french onion soup or even salsa, guacamole or other dips. Really festive colors, but be careful, the little side handles are extremely easy to break.

Best Deals for Le Creuset 12 Ounce Petite Oval Casserole

I love using these 12-ounce petite oval casseroles because they are durble, wash up easily, and make for a beautiful presentation. This combination of attributes is what really makes them valuable because I can use them everyday without worrying that they will chip and break. I typically wash them by hand or in the top rack of the dishwasher and have not had any issues with fading or chipping.

I tend to use them a lot of serving soups and invidual portions of casseroles like baked macaroni and cheese or individual pot pies. They make my presentation a little more special and always earn me comments from my guests.

The one thing worth noting is that these are stoneware, not enameled cast iron. I realize this is stated clearly in the title but still worth repeating since the brand is known more for their cast iron products like dutch ovens and I would hate for someone to order this expecting cast iron and get stoneware instead. That said, they still do a pretty good job of retaining heat, but not nearly as well as the cast iron.

Overall these are fantastic and after owning them for over a year I have no complaints. I highly recommend them.

Absolutely love it. I wish they had the same product in a larger size. It's on the small side, but perfect for leftovers or small one-person meal. Cleans great.

I dropped the lid just right over the bowl, and I do mean right above it.. and the entire handle broke off from the bowl.. I love their other items, but this is a bit too fragile, especially for the price!

I actually had one of the pieces in this set, which I used all the time, but it had gotten broken. The piece I needed to replace was the one and one-half quart oval dish. I am pleased to also get the larger oval dish as I think that will be very useful for larger casseroles when entertaining.

I love these casseroles. They are the perfect . My husband broke my 10+ year old set in the same day this is the replacement product. BUT it was so poorly packaged by Amazon that it arrived broken twice! So I recommend you purchase it from somewhere else.

We just received these as a gift, but they arrived already broken in the box. We could hear inside the packaging box that at least one of the pieces has been shattered. Very disappointed. Hopefully we will be able to receive a replacement since they seem to be nice items!

My daughter and I studied online videos and recipes before I tried my first meal with this tool. Its somewhat larger than you might expect but suitable to cook a meal for four up to or eight people at once. These are a few hints I would offer from that experience:

1) you must thoroughly rinse and scrub the steamer before first use. You cannot use soap or harsh tools to do so. I filled our kitchen sink with very hot water, soaked it piece by piece and use a soft rubber scrub to work away the tiny slivers that are inherent to its bamboo nature.

2) when drying, set it over towels preferably in the sun and stack it as it came....otherwise it may dry warped.

3) while a large saucepan under it may work, my IKEA sized wok was perfect for this unit. You must fill the clean and grease free wok with about one and a half to two inches of water. Bring to a rapid rolling boil (do not add salt to the water) and set the bamboo steamer with items in place and carefully sealed shut into the wok where it should not be sitting in the water but just over it.

4) DO buy the simple parchment paper that you can get at the grocery store near the tin foil and plastic wrap (don't get the wax backed paper.) Lay a cut sheet over the open steamer unit and press into the bottom, use a finger to create a crease that matches the inner dimensions of the steamer...cut to size and lay one piece in each of the two sections of the steamer where you intend to place the food. (You will be very glad you did when cleanup time comes and you DON'T have to scrub out tiny food particles trapped in the woven bamboo slats.)

5)DO NOT reuse this paper, cut a new piece each time you steam food.

6) take care to note how long foods need to steam each item you cook may be different. I found that ten minutes of steaming was perfect for whitefish filets and asparagus spears but too long for broccoil. Place your meat at the bottom layer of the two layers of this unit and veggies on the top layer.

7) TAKE CARE to stand back when you open the steamer lid while it is cooking or just after being removed from heat. The steam is VERY HOT! This steamer is not ideal for children to work with. Get a couple pot holders to carefully remove it from the steaming wok and set it onto a towel because it will drip.

I found that the sauce I used to marinate the fish all steamed out of it while cooking. While it may work to add things like fresh herbs, lemon or ginger and peppers over the cooking meat, sauces may just steam out. Add them before serving. This first meal I steamed was very bland. I cooked rice with it and we wanted to add soy or other sauce to the veggies, meat and rice. If bland doesn't bother you, steam the fish and dip it in mayo and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. The asparagus was delicious with just butter but the overcooked broccoli just had to be eaten quickly.

I will use this unit again but hope to find some tips to make the food less bland although it is extremely healthy and very well cooked this way. Everything was tender and moist. Since there is no oil used in this cooking process you can control exactly the amount of fat that goes into your body. Once you begin steaming the entire meal will be done in ten or fifteen minutes. Better have your table set and guests at hand. If I can learn to create sauces and seasonings to give it more flavor, the art of using it will match its health qualities and ease of use.

This steamer is great for dumplings and vegetables, though its shape makes it difficult to tell how much water is left in the pot you're steaming it over, and the bamboo comes into contact with very hot pans, producing a slight smoky smell sometimes. The more you use it, the more the bamboo will relax with age. My only real problem with this steamer is that it's somewhat small (6" diameter), but I couldn't find a larger one.

Try it for steaming vegetables, fish, or even rice. Inexpensive, but well-made.

This bamboo steamer is just the right size if you like to steam large quantities of food. I had a 10 inch steamer for many years and it finally wore out. I decided to get the next size and I'm happy I did.

Large enough to handle stir-fry ingredients for a group. Heats up very well and cooks food perfectly. Only wish it had come with instructions for seasoning. We had to search the web for seasoning instructions and then choose a method we thought best. Covering in oil and baking upside down in oven at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes worked perfectly.

The quality of the pan is good overall. I have to admit that. The problem I have with the pan is that it is so long you cannot get even heat when cooking on a stove top. The extra long handle along with the elongated pan makes it troublesome fitting in the cupboard with other pans. It is oven safe, but if you are cooking for a special event, then that's the only thing that can go in the oven. Putting it in the dishwasher is also out of the question. Eventually I hope to donate it to a charity.

American Kitchen Tri-Ply Stainless-Steel 8-Quart Covered Stockpot Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this 8 quart Tri-ply as a complement to my 10 piece Tri-Ply set. Frequently I need 2 large pots to cook the same meal for example Angel Hair pasta with Beef Marinara. I use one for the pasta and the other to prepare the sauce. I love this cookware. Browning ground meat in the stock pot is no problem. Beautiful fond is formed when the meat is fried on medium high heat and deglazing the pot is a breeze. This stock pot cleans up well too. The pot performs well it heats very evenly. The price of this pot is just one of its pluses. Comparable tri-ply pots by All Clad cost substantially more money.

American Kitchen has developed a very good product line that is moderately priced. An added bonus is that American Kitchen Cookware is manufactured right here in the USA and comes with a 25 year warranty. My family is doing everything that we can to buy American made goods to help our fellow Americans keep their jobs. Try the American Kitchen cookware you won't be disappointed. REMEMBER BUY USA!!!

This is such a great stock pot. It was very important to me to find a pot made in the USA and it was nice to find a different company besides AllClad. The tri ply is really nice to have and helps prevent burning. The pot is solid and easy to clean. I would highly recommend.

Honest reviews on American Kitchen Tri-Ply Stainless-Steel 8-Quart Covered Stockpot

I have mostly All-Clad pots in my collection. Even though I'm a struggling college student, I have very patiently amassed a nice collection through eBay, shopping at TJ Maxx and Marshalls for all of my home chef needs. I got tired of buying cheap Teflon after finding flakes in my food, hence the switch to something of better quality that will be worth passing down one day to my children. I like the look of the LTD2 but I just use large size pots for boiling corn or potatoes. You needn't spend 200+ on a pot to do just that. This one is wonderful for such purposes. Add to it the fact that you're paying less for roughly the same quality and construction, and voila! Only gripe is that I have an electric stove top and have pretty much babied this pot. Yet, this morning when I washed it and set it to dry I could see the imprint of the coils from the pot inside where it was seared. It looks like it's going to be permanent. For this reason, I am taking off a star. I did not burn this pot and only used it to boil pasta, my other pots have taken many a beating in the kitchen and do not have the scars to prove it that this one does. From minimal usage at that. I haven't even had the pot a full month yet!

I'm willing to spend and have spent $$$ on quality in the kitchen with most of my well-used, well-loved pieces being All Clad with no regrets. However, I don't want to waste money and when I found this mid-priced but seemingly just as high quality as my All Clad pieces I had to try it.

This pot, as far as I can tell without an actual All Clad 8 qt pot here to compare it to, is of the same quality for half the price and only seems to be lacking handles stamped with "All Clad." Since that doesn't matter to me (the style meshes nicely with what I already have), I am an ecstatic American Kitchen convert!!

I'm so pleased to have a go-to company that doesn't soak customers for the brand name, is made in the USA, and is of the quality I would have paid the ultra big bucks for. I always assumed that the choice was between a $40 inferior pot or a $250 All Clad pot. Now that I've discovered American Kitchen, that's where I'll go first from now on, and I recommend everyone gives it a try you'll be thrilled you did, too.

Buy Calphalon 32-Inch Straight Wall Pot Rack with 4 Heavy-Duty Single

I have five of them. They are exceptionally sturdy and they are designed so that the hooks don't come off when removing a pan. I have had hanging racks in the past that become unbalanced when more than one pan is removed. Although the bolt holes match the distance between the wall studs, I have mounted them on strips of oak. The pans hang away from the wall and hold a lot of very heavy duty pans with no signs of strain.

This redesigned Calphalon 32-Inch Straight Wall Rack is a great accessory that adds functionality and style to a kitchen. The length is perfect for mounting by screws onto two wall studs, which are usually found 16 inches apart. I like to use this straight wall rack for hanging Calphalon stainless steel utensils, small Calphalon Commercial Hard Anodized Omelet pans, Sauté pans, Chef Pans, Saucepans, or the Butterwarmer. The stainless cool-v handle on the Commercial line matches the handles on the stainless utensils. The rack comes with 4 single hooks. I don't use any double hooks on this rack because I find it too small for that. I use 6 single hooks about 4 inches apart if I am hanging utensils.

Nothing new to add with this review that others haven't already stated. The rack shipped quickly and arrived safely.

32" is a decent size for holding four pieces. Currently hanging from mine are a Le Creuset 3-Ply Stainless-Steel 3-Quart covered Saucepan, Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 10 2/3 Inch Crepe Pan, Cobalt, Le Creuset 3-Ply Stainless-Steel 3-Quart Saute Pan, and Le Creuset 3-Ply Stainless-Steel 11-Inch Nonstick Fry Pan. With these items hanging, the rack still feels quite secure when you give it a tug with your hands. I would not want to add any more items, but that is strictly due to the limited width.

Things I like:

** The rack works well and mounts solidly, even into drywall.

** The hooks go on the rack easily via the access notches at either end, and do not come off unless slid back to an access notch.

Things I could go either way on:

** The rack only comes with four hooks. The rack isn't really wide enough to handle more than 4 pots/pans, but a fifth hook would mean a pot holder, stirrer, or other small basic kitchen tool could be hung.

Things I don't like:

** As others mentioned, mine also has the anodizing chipped away around the mount holes. True Type-3 hard anodizing shouldn't do this, so I'm not really certain what is going on with that. I don't think that bodes well for the durability of the finish along the edges (particularly the top edge) where the hooks can slide. Of course, the top edge isn't visible to people under 11ft tall, and the hooks won't be moving around very much.

** The rack DOES NOT come with mounting hardware despite being listed as "complete." You will have to go to the hardware store and buy it yourself. Because the mounting holes are large, you will want a much larger fastener than the guy in the hardware store may recommend without seeing them. IIRC, I went with #17 screws and appropriate drywall anchors.

** Because the rack DOES NOT come with mounting hardware, you will end up with shiny chrome-like fastener heads showing against the black/charcoal finish of the rack.

Well, it does what it needs to do and didn't cost a fortune so I guess it was a success. But, it sure wasn't obvious when I ordered it that the mounting hardware was not included! And of course none of the hundred screws that I have in my toolbox match the dark grey finish...! How hard or expensive can it be to put four little screws in the box?!

I ordered this item because it perfectly fit the 32-inch wall space above my stove. When I received the rack, it actually measured 32.5 inches -31 inches of bar and 1.5 inches for the mounting. It works great, but I had to rearrange the other walls of my kitchen to hang the rack in another, less convenient spot.
