#I Blame Delia, myself (2009-05-30) I think Delia is great. She has great recipes and I love the way she describes the methods and the kit required. It does, however, mean that from time to time, following her recipes involves spending some money. . . like the need to buy a 10 non-stick pan with a lid. Apparently spicey rice is impossible to make without one!Well, now that I have one, I pretty much agree - it is impossible without one!This is a great pan and I m now watching closely to see if Jamie Oliver shows up at a Norwich City game! There could be trouble. Highly recommended ...

#Humour in the Kitchen (2008-08-31) Humour in the kitchen, and why not? I have a collection of these jars and I love them. They keep whatever you store in them totally fresh - they don t taint. The lid is easy to take off and put on. They look lovely and cheerful. I like them when the container is nearly full and you get the idea that the wee man is hanging on for dear life! It s one of these jars that allegedly inspired Noel Gallagher of Oasis to write the song Champagne Supernova!

#Good but not great (2009-03-07) Its a great pot for the reasons that everyone else has given, but the fact that it doesnt have any handles, especially on the lid, is a real pain. If it had handles it would have 5 stars. I knew all this before I bought so I hold my hands up.

#top chef (2009-02-08) an ideal small roaster. ideal for a couple. would be excellent if it contained a rack in the bottom to keep away from all the fat/juices.

#Great basic roasting dish (2004-05-27) I have always found a covered roaster to be a great boon. It means you can stick joints of meat in the oven and more or less forget about them until they re done, because the roaster bastes the meat itself. It also means you need little or no added fat, and it keeps in the smell, and flavour. This Prestige roaster is what you would call an entry-level model, you can pay four or five times as much for one that may be heavier, or shinier with fancy handles, or have a non-stick interior, but they all do the same job and they all have to be cleaned ...
