YES! I knew about Le Creuset, of course. (I have tons of it, most of it was my mom's.) But I didn't know about T-fal til this week. I think it's important for all (cooking inclined) folks out there to know that there is a company called CHANTAL which makes amazing French-style cookware which, despite its name, is a TEXAS company. That's where I'm gonna start spending my money. My french cousins are going to have to start taking responsibility for their cynically corrupt government, sorry. I'm not going to help support their international representatives' self-serving appeasement of yet another bloodthirsty , & conveniently anti-semitic, megolomaniacal dictator.Uh-uh. Ain't gonna happen again.They did it once & claimed after the fact that they were all in "The Resistance" -LOL!. But they're not gonna pull off another scam like that on my tab. Not with my credit card.Buy American. Buy Mexican, Buy Spanish. Buy Italian. But whatever you do, do not repeat the sins of our forefathers and buy from Naziesque sympathizers. Boycott France.Starting now.

I too have a good amount of Le Creuset pots and cookware. Being a wanna-be gourmet has caused me to spend overly ridiculous amounts of money on kitchen equipment. I will no longer spend a penny on French products though. Shame, they do make some of the best out there.

As for Chantal, I have three pie plates and a casserole from them and they are very good. Right now, I'm looking into who owns All-Clad since I was planning on purchasing a set of their cookware. I've found myself more and more looking at where products come from before I purchase them. If it's from France of Germany, it will not enter my home.
