Mbear - I suppose you threw the oval one out? If it was one of the cast iron ones (I only say that because they do have a crockery oval one too) they would replace it. I split one and they replaced it no questions asked because of the "lifetime warranty".

Netix - I can just see you standing there arms crossed tapping your foot! Should I go and check that my pots are covered in the household insurance

Tan - I hear you on the knives. I can't stand crappy knives.
