Le Crueset

02/28/06 		I am looking for a cookware like the Vision Ware (with out the risk of explosion) so am considering Le Crueset, and was wondering what others think of this product. Realizing it is pricey, is it worth it, and is it safe? Cast iron wasnt my first choice, but sites like this have made me move on from glass ware. Unless there is an option I havent found yet? Thanks for any input.

I like other pans for fast frying.

After warning my roomies like crazy (they love to use it), I've scorched my own Le Crueset covered cookpot. Truth to tell, it was showing a little rust along a crack, so I was thinking of repair - and now I must repair! Please advise!
