I am looking at getting some new cookware for our kitchen. I am one of the most fussiest and passionate food person and having more of a difficult time selecting the cookware than I have ever had with selecting an IP… no exaggeration..! I started looking at Boxing day and still cant make up my mind.
I love slow cooking with lots of herbs/ spices and food cooked at slow heat for the flavours to really get absorbed – so looking at something with a ceramic coating overall, perhaps some clay based, non-stick and very very heavy.
I looked at Bessemer and like their range however compared it to Le Crusset and Emile Henry and very confused if the super expensive French cookware is any better to Bessemer (Aus made).
Bessemer doesn’t make Tagines, which I am very inclined to get as part of the set. Le Cruesset and Emile Henry do however the Tagines are very small and only enough for a serving for 3-4 people… however being very social we have dinner parties where we invite between 20-30 people and do a lot of cooking over the weekend, hence size of pots are very important to cater for large gatherings.
Other thing with Bessemer is that the cookware has too many casserole and baking ware with large capacity however not much in cooking pot range.
Are there any specialist stores which might stock all of those brands so I can go have a look and get some advice rather than finding bits of them everywhere with some on direct mail order, ebay, etc.
