And I bet food tastes better when that knife is used to prepare it...Originally Posted by papaver
my paring knife is about 20 years old, my mom's was her mom's and she got it wen she was 21. My grandmother was born in 1901. You do the math.

My parents got their Le Creuset pans around 35 years ago IIRC. They may as well be new, by the looks of them.
And they have a lifetime warranty if something should go wrong. The enamel on my 5-1/2 qt soup pot got crazed and all I had to do was send it back for a replacement.
Papaver, I was looking at the different types of whisk at Sur La Table the other day. What an assortment! I wondered what type of food each one is best for?Last edited by OakLeaf; 11-10-2009 at 02:20 PM.

Most of them say what they are meant for...

But what I advise is, make sure the handle is not too heavy. I have two of which the handle is too heavy, they easily fall over when you not holding them.My cycling hero: http://www.cyclinghalloffame.com/rid...asp?rider_id=1

Thank you all so much! I've got some ideas to follow-up on!
I used Dutch Ovens all the time when taking my Girl Scouts camping. There is nothing like camp-made Monkey Bread after a long day hiking.
Haven't really used them here at home.

That told me that the "ordinary" shape is for eggs and the flat-bottomed one is for using in saucepans. Okay. But I don't think the "balloon whisk" is for whisking balloons... Originally Posted by papaver

Ball whisks, flat whisks, tornado whisks, jet whisks, frog whisks.... I'm learning the names from my friend Google, but haven't found what they're for yet...Last edited by OakLeaf; 11-10-2009 at 03:46 PM.
