    My brother is a bit of a le Creuset nut but the one Mr MWC has been using most often was an own-brand bargain from Sainsbury's earlier in the year.

    I second (third?) the Sainsbury's own brand cast iron. We have a big flattish one that you can cook practically anything in. I love them.
  • I've heard the sainsxxx ones are good too.

    I've got la cruset and love them but that's because
    A) I bought most of them as seconds with 30th birthday money and
    B) my mum has the same which she bought before I was born and are still in excellent condition and I'm hoping to inherit them one day (when they are too heavy for her to lift) so would like everything to match.

    Does the orange coffee machine match the radiators? (Or was it Tilly or Gally who had orange rads and I'm all in a muddle...?!)

    No, it's me :o

    Yes, the orange coffee machine matches the orange radiator... and the orange toaster and the orange salt & pepper grinders and the orange chairs and the orange mugs and the orange hand towel and the orange cast iron pot :rotfl:

    And the orange trunk, cushions and vase in the living room :rotfl::rotfl:

    And the orange chicken coop in the garden :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    And are the units the right shade of blue?

    And can you work the tv yet?

    Yes :j It needed 6 coats of paint :eek:
    And can you work the tv yet?

    Yes, just about! Mr MWC gave me a lesson before he left.

    I'm trying out the new cooker this evening by making a cake :)
