Were these the "poterie" range, ie ceramic? As they are only for oven. I have never had any problems with my cast iron le creuset, well except when OH burnt the living daylights out of it, never for it to be resurrected But it is only the cast iron ones that can be used on a hob

Agree 100% mine is cast iron too, I have some of the poterie range and they won't go on the hob, but my cast iron is superb - my Mum bought it because I loved hers that she had had for decades, they go on and on, but you do pay for it, £120 for mine, now crikey!

I tend to watch out for sales on amazon-got a 24cm one to replace dead one for £55, and a 28cm HUGE one for £48incl postage.
I love my le creuset, cast iron griddles make the best steaks I really want a shallow casserole, and an oval one, but have no more room in my cupboards:o :rotfl:

I agree with the enamel option. I've got enamel baking dishes that were my nans, she's been gone 10 years now and the dishes were old when I got them. I recently needed another roasting pan, so bought an enamel one.
