After years of perfecting his bonding process, company founder John Ulam established All-Clad Metalcrafters in 1971, and began producing professional-quality bonded cookware for working chefs and gourmet home cooks. The brand slowly emerged as early adopters in the professional community realized the extraordinary qualities, striking aesthetics and exemplary cooking performance of this revolutionary bonded cookware. Today, from its rolling mill in Southwest Pennsylvania, All-Clad Metalcrafters is the only bonded cookware manufacturer who utilizes American craftsmen and American-made metals to produce a complete line of finished bonded cookware products.

The ultimate in cookware, All-Clad Copper Core is top of the line cookware and not all stores are allowed to offer it. In All-Clad Copper Core, the cooking surface is stainless steel, like all of the other All-Clad lines. The exterior is stainless steel, but with a copper band visible. The key to the incredible performance of All-Clad Copper Core is that the pans inner layers are aluminum (like the others) but with an internal layer of copper along the bottom AND sides. Copper is the finest heat conducting material used in cooking.

All-Clad is known for its superb quality in cookware and this Dutch Oven demonstrates why. Crafted of a unique five-ply construction, the cookware contains a core of pure copper that spreads heat quickly and evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. This roomy Dutch oven is ideal for simmering stews and soups, marinating roasts, or poaching chicken and fish. Longer cuts of meat fit well for braising and roasting, too. The tight-fitting domed lid traps steam to seal in flavors and self-baste foods. Without the lid, the wide top of the oven allows for final reduction to enhance flavors.

Five-ply construction of securely bonded metals: a thick, extremely heat-responsive copper core sandwiched between two layers of highly conductive aluminum with an easy-clean stainless-steel exterior and interior that won’t react with foods.The copper ply is bonded to aluminum to enhance heat distribution while reducing weight. The bonded exterior and interior layers are highest-quality stainless-steel, providing the ideal cooking surface, ease of cleaning, extreme durability and aesthetic appeal.

I was looking at my Le Creuset Kettle and thinking how great it looked-almost like a work of art! My tea kettle is cherry red in color. Of course the color is important but for the amount of money you spend on one of these you want to know that it is going to last a long time. It is my feeling that with proper use and care these kettles by Le Creuset will last a lifetime.

While these are great looking teapots there are people that have complaints about them. I guess my one complaint is that the handle does get very hot, especially if you are boiling a lot of water. To remedy this I wait a few minutes to pick up the kettle and it usually can be handled. Or, I use a towel or hot pad to pick it up. I guess it stands to reason that things get hot that sit on the stove with a high flame.

Another complaint I’ve read about is the enamel coating chips. Well yes it can if it is banged hard enough. Enamel chips and you have to take care not to chip it. It is strong and takes a good whack to chip it. I have a number of Le Creuset pieces and none of them have chipped, and I’m not a delicate or careful person.

In relation to the enamel, I have read that some people have tried cleaning the outside of their kettle with some kind of abrasive cleaner. Naturally, this might scratch the enamel finish. It’s important to remember that enamel is durable and beautiful, but not indestructible.

My favorite little nitpick about the Le Creuset kettle is the whistle. Some people don’t like it because you have to pull it out to pour the water and they burn their fingers when taking it out. Umm, it’s hot, you don’t use bare fingers to remove it, or wait a few moments. Also, some don’t like the whistle’s sound. I never use the whistle, I don’t like the whistle on a teapot, I think it’s annoying, so I guess it’s not an issue for me.

Is this tea kettle perfect? Of course not, but it’s pretty darn great and I’m very happy with my in the way it functions and the way it looks. If you are looking for a kettle to make your tea with, you really can’t go wrong with this one.

Camping can test your resources and presents an opportunity to try new things and have new experiences. Many people who go camping rely on premade foods, hot dogs or freeze dried food for meals. As a result, camping is synonymous with bad food. However, there is a way to eat great, even gourmet, food while camping and it’s through a Dutch oven.

Dutch ovens are simply a type of cast iron pot that is used while camping to cook. You can use them over an open frame hanging from a tripod, but the most common way to cook with them is to bury the oven in hot coals. This makes the food cook evenly. You can also use them on specially made tables that make them more like cooking on a grill.

You can cook pretty much anything in a Dutch oven. It is a great way to make your favorite homemade dishes while out camping. One of the most popular Dutch oven dishes is cobbler. Dutch ovens are absolutely perfect for cobbler and the whole family will love it. The secret to good Dutch oven food is all about quality, much like cooking at home so if you want your food to be the best it can be, use the best ingredients when preparing it. Some other dutch oven camping favorites include; pizza, chilli beans and just about any type of stew you can cook in a regular oven.

Take good care of your Dutch oven while camping and prior to leaving. Cast iron is very susceptible to rust, so you’ll want to season it before you leave home. Rub it with vegetable oil or shortening then heat the cast iron pan upside down in an oven, with a sheet of foil on the bottom to catch drips. Once done, let the pan slowly cool to room temperature.

Aluminum Dutch ovens are now available as an alternative to the cast iron. These are easier to care for and a lot lighter which is making them gain popularity with camping crowds.

If you do decide to go with an aluminum Dutch oven for your camping trip, try and pick recipes that were written specifically for the aluminum variety as it is a different cooking experience altogether. For one thing, it is easier to burn food when cooking with the aluminum Dutch ovens. This is important because, in a camping context with so much going on and in unfamiliar settings, it is easy to get distracted while camping. Nothing ruins a camping trip faster than burnt food.

Just in case, bring some easy backup food in case anything goes wrong with your Dutch oven cooking and give it a test run at home to make sure you’ve got it all figured out.
