Hahahah I smiled when I saw the name of the pan...I thought of Nomar
Garciaparra too! He's only one of the best shortstops in baseball. (Ok, you
Jeter fans, calm down....I said ONE of them!) Did you know he was Nomar because
his father's name is Ramon, and Ramon spelled backwards is Nomar?
I have seen those pots at Marshall's and TJ Maxx. I always wondered how they
were. My only fear woudl be that the enamel wouldn't hold up as well as Le
Creuset's. But for $40---how can you really go wrong?
Let us know how it is 6 months from now, would you?

I knew that. Until then I thought he must be half Japanese or
something. Sounded asian to me. I hope that doesn't turn into a
trend. Bunch of yhtomits and trebors and irtimids running about.
Not good. (smile)

I'd buy one, why not. I've just never seen any. I had to drive quite
a ways just to get Le Crueset ... I never see it in the stores. I'm
sure it'll last just fine.

I was wondering the same thing. Sure would be nice to have feedback
on longevity.

Most people also forget the great old 'Descoware,' the enameled cast iron so
popular forty years ago.

Two pieces hang in my kitchen* and they are like new. If
you find any at a yard sale, either buy it or tell a chef.
*They did until they were packed for the upcoming move, anyways.

I have a 12" frying pan with lid and removable wooden handle,but I
never thought it was worth much in particular. My father loved it, and
my mother gave it to me after he died because she didn't like the
weight.

Don't forget that LeCreuset has something the knock-offs can't touch:
a lifetime guarantee.
I got one over 25 years ago as a gift -- so I didn't even have a
receipt. But when the surface started to flake off recently I sent it
down to them (SC) for inspection and in four weeks had a brand new
covered casserole (over $100) -- no questions asked.

How do you know it will last twenty years. I've had LC finish flake off,
and one fell off a shelf less than 6 inches up and cracked in half.
Once those two peices bit the dust, the rest of the set has hung on for
nearly 15 years now.
tj
who didn't even try to return them, having gotten them (new) at a garage
sale for 20 bucks.
Another factor is the strength and elasticity of one's wrists -- at
my age I doubt that I could use such cast-iron things, however pretty
the enamel.

of touch with contemporary scholarship. Anybody who

available in medical and scientific circles because
it calls into question their uninformed attitudes is
profoundly ignorant."
