Customer reviews
The set has earned a near-perfect 4.8-star rating from shoppers. One customer wrote: "I brought the nectar set and I am already cooking an apple crumble with apples from my garden, its the perfect down size as its just husband and I at home now, the colour is ever so slightly darker than on screen which is fine by me, the weight is ok not to heavy and it screams perfection and quality, I will make a mornay in the casserole later, and look forward to many years of use, thanks Q for a fantastic price."
Another added: "This has rapidly become my go-to pan. I love the colour (blue) even though it is lighter than my other blue pans. I use it for making curries, noodle dishes and frying vegetables before making pies, and then I use my stoneware dish to bake the pie. The casserole pan is so versatile, and with a lid as well, it is good for sauteeing vegetables. It was a great purchase at a great price, and I don’t know how I ever managed without them."
A third said: "I bought this set for my husband for Christmas last year and I wasn't sure if he would like it or not. The reason is because he is a very what I would say 'old fashioned cook' using pot and pans, isn't interested in air-fryer, compact ovens of a popular make. Well what can I say, once he started using the casserole, took him sometime, he loves it. He thinks it is fabulous."
However, one customer noted: "Le Crueset cookware is a premium range that I’ve used for many years and this particular item is a dream to use. So easy to clean but be aware the large casserole is very heavy." Customers with difficulty lifting heavy items, such as those with arthritis, should consider the weight.
