does le creuset own screwpull or is there a separate screwpull brand?

I don't know. But upon research, I did find out that the patent to the lever pull expired in 1999 and that Le Creuset bought the company, Hallen from the estate of Herb Allen, oilman and inventor who developed the design in the 1970. This information is in the book "Design Secrets : Product 2" on page 132 " the rabbit corkscrew". Hope this helps.

When I bought my StoneLine set I thought they were just different brand names for the same thing, StoneDine in New Zealand and StoneLine everywhere else. Something to do with trademarks? But apparently they're made and sold by entirely different companies. I don't know about StoneDine but my StoneLine set is the best cookware I've ever used.

I am used to these excellent pots since 30 years, while I lived in France. At the time they were very ordinary and cheap ones. Now they are expensive. French and Dutch oven seem to me marketing names for America, in France they are just Cocotte de chez le Creuset, see in Amazon.fr below, anyways the one that I bought as a present (my 30 year old one is still perfect) was much cheaper at Amazon than elsewhere. http://www.amazon.fr/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_10?__mk_fr_FR=%C3%85M%C3%85Z%C3%95%C3%91&url=search-alias%3Dkitchen&field-keywords=le%20creuset&sprefix=le+creuset%2Caps%2C291 .

hard to say. it doesn't specifically say "Made in" anything. It does say "Le Creuset 23 France" I'm sorry I cant help more.

I compared the Zazzol with pictures of the VinLuxe on Amazon and both seem identical. Since the VinLuxe is not available, the Zazzol would be a fine replacement. And I do mean fine. Cheers.

From what I understand:Le Creuset is an iron foundry in France. That is where they melt the iron and cast it into pots and pans. They do not do the enameling at their foundry facility.To enamel their products, they send their cast iron products to Thailand, and maybe China.So I guess it depends on what you mean by "manufactured".The imprint says France, because the imprint is made during the casting process, so technically it's correct.

The one I bought is 14 inches or 35.6 cms which is too large for your Le Creuset.

Sorry I can't give you an answer to this question because I don't own Le Creuset, but I can tell you All Clad stainless 8 quart stockpot is the best stockpot I have ever had.

I don't know for sure but I have never heard or seen anyone selling the ceramic pot separately. I know I don't sell them separately.

So far as I know, there's only one line of cookware branded Emeril (there's not different tiers of quality). If the set has it pieces you want and it's cheaper elsewhere, go for it!

I have one Le Creuset that's about 15 years old. And that one is stained. But my new one seems to have a different finish. So far it has not stained, even with the things I've cooked in it that should have done so. I suspect that they've upgraded or otherwise changed the finish, as it seems to be more slippery for lack of a better word.

I was walking through WalMart the other day and found a very good anodized cookware separate pieces and sets. I was surprised but after looking at the pieces found the quality very similar to the set I purchased as a set. Also, of course, Amazon associates may have seperates as well. Good luck!

Hi Joan, To answer your question, no it does not have any screw heads or exposed hardware at all! This is as professional a cooking pot as I have ever seen or owned and it should serve you well for many many years!! I hope that helps you on your decision!

Thank you for your interest. Most of Le Creuset's stoneware is made in Thailand. This piece is made in China.Chefs Corner Store

Not sure where you can buy this particular flatware separately, but Bed, Bath, and Beyond sells a different brand individually.

Also - How does calphanon compare to le creuset? That's what we have mostly but our skillets are old cast iron.
