classica 5ltr – real bargain compared to loge or le creuset great to cook with, holds up very well, my favorite pot in the kitchen , I can only say what mine is like , it is very good ! Show details
Oval pot, lid doesn't seem to fit – Bought it to bake sourdough so got the oval dutch oven with lid. Chose this brand because rated to 240 degrees C apparently. The lid didn't quite fit on, thus failing the job of containing steam and moisture. The lid was slightly longer than the pot. I have sent it back to Catch of the Day. I hope I can get one with a lid that fits, it seemed otherwise fine. Show details
Cast iron classica – Used it once notice a fault in the grove it has chipped took it back to store they would only give me $25 paid $130. The warranty is a joke it does not even tell you who to contact I was given to me as a present. Show details
Can’t honour their 25 year warranty against defects – I bought the Elite reversible grill from The Home. I used it on the grill side once, and the second time used it on the flat side. The flat side was bowed in the middle and any oil on it drained to the two ends I had this product for less than two months and after emailing The Home, they informed me that the manufacturer would not refund me.

product was obviously faulty ( I sent photos to prove it). So much for a 25 Year guarantee!!
The best I could get was a store credit from The Home. They’re still selling this substandard product.
Not Happy!
Great essential for everyday use, and especially when purchased on sale! – This is a great example of cast iron cookware, and I bought the casserole dish on sale. It's used regularly in my home. The cast iron is of good quality and the only difference with it's French competitor is brand name. I have used both and found no discernible difference. It's great to start a dish on the stove and then pop it in the oven to slow… Read more
cook; either is fine. The only (inherent) downsize is the weight, but that means it's of good quality and necessary in this sort of kitchenware. I really can't fault it, except to maybe suggest some more neutral colours; but that really is splitting hairs.
Great product. would recommend it – I bought a large soup pot in burnt orange. Colour is gorgeous. I have this product for a few years now. It's basically indestructible and will last for years (with gentle care) used it in Oven too. Only negative is that the lid knob is fastened with a screw that rusts... replaced it with a rustproof screw easy to do and no damage to lid or knob. Show details
Unbeatable value for a product that will last many lifetimes – To those who say it's NOT non stick this is because you haven't learnt to care for and maintain your cast iron. Care is simple and YES, it definitely is exceptionally non stick once you know what your doing. There are plenty of online resources to learn this from. Use plenty of good quality oil when you cook and season with a light film of oil /… Read more
fat - it'll get better ever time it's properly used. No, they are not too heavy either. If your not interested in learning simple principles on how to look after cast iron and reaping the benefits then go back to your toxic Teflon coated stuff.
Heavy set cast iron – Has been great to cook with and performs well, up there with the much more expensive French brands. Handle is cast iron.
Not non stick – Don't waste your money if you are after a non stick pan. This product is not as described. The online description, states heavy duty, cast iron, green colour, all of which is true. But also describes pan as non stick, which it definately is not true. And to get off the burnt food takes a lot of soaking. Great colour Not non stick
