Wish I knew when I could get one with a freebie! I would have just about killed anybody leaving it on the stove over night too! Note to self; don't buy scanpan. (Unlike the ads are they? Safer bet to go with a tattoo?)

Hi Muppity. There had to be someone like you out there, didn't there.... Unfortunately there is no smilie icon with its arms crossed tapping its foot.... Yes, you should be glad we don't know where you live....

Maybe instead of collecting anything else for my kitchen (because goodness knows I don't need anything else) I can set about collecting la creuset pieces.... I don't really see myself as being able to get into dj's post christmas sales (or any other), as I'm due in the first week of January! I couldn't send anyone either! Peters of Kensington had quite a range... nice.

Check on the ruler hint. I can't get a new kitchen until we move. This place is a rental, and the oven is good. Good luck with working on DH for the new kitchen though. Even if you do have a most enviable collection of la creuset pieces....

Tan, thanks, I thought that the cherry red ones would be cream on the inside. Cream is good.
Ideally I would love to get either just one good chef knife, from mundial or wusthof. I only ever use just one knife for everything. Again, have to go to a knife shop and play with their balance and size. Then tell the Man what to get for me!
