I am so surprised to see the negative reviews. I've used my Chantal pots for years and LOVE them. They especially make a difference when making tomato-based dishes and sauces. The acidity reacts with metal pots and changes the flavor. The enamel coating on the Chantal pots protects the flavor and makes food taste better.If you have trouble cleaning the pots, boil a small amount of water and baking soda and they are easy to clean without scrubbing.If you want to try out a piece of Chantal cookware before you spend a lot on the whole set, you can sometimes find them at Marshall's. I think they are seconds, but still good cookware and a good price.I haven't tried the omelette pan, but would imagine the enamel would not be the best choice for cooking eggs. I use a Calphalon greenware omelette pan that is not stick, but supposedly a safer coating.

We purchased the Chantal cookware after reading several positive reviews on amazon.com. We wanted cookware that was environmentally safe, less toxic and durable. We could justify the higher price for supposedly superior cookware. Upon receiving the cookware i noticed that it seemed very heavy and well made. After using i soon realized that it has a very difficult surface to cook on, foods burn and stick easily. The cookware is so heavy and unbalanced that while using the large pan for cooking pancakes i actually pulled a muscle or tendon in my forearm. It is very difficult and clumsy to handle and very hard to clean. On the bright side it is very attractive cookware and holds heat evenly. Those attributes are not enough for me though,I am planning on giving this cookware away and buying simple aluminum cookware that is lighter and durable and will wait for a more environmentally safe less toxic cookware to arrive on the market.

Many years ago I bought a set of Chantal cookware, in green enamel over metal and with a smooth, relatively stick-free coating that seems like hard porcelain. I use my pots and pans every day and still love them. They are pretty, they clean easily, and I like the glass lids which make it easy to see what's happening in the pan. I have them hanging on an iron rack above my butcher block counter, where they are both decorative and easy to grab.I also use cast iron frying pans and a large soapstone pot, but for most of my cooking I reach for my Chantal.

I spent a great deal of money on my Chantal. Honestly, I picked it for the wrong reason. I wanted the lovely red on my hanging pot rack. I purchased quite a lot, including a set, a tea kettle, the fondue pot and stand, and lots of other pieces.The teflon-type pieces are OK, but no better than ordinary, less expensive pieces. I despise the enamel coated pieces, They scratched from the very beginning, burn your food easily, and food has a tendency to stick.The enamel interior (even while using utensils made for coated cookware)scratched so badly that I contacted Chantal under the warranty. They ignored my request.I never use my Chantal. I have a set of other cookware and a few pieces of Le Creuset.My pretty Chantal hangs on my potrack, untouched. I guess, in a way, it's been a nice decorator touch for my kitchen. But phooey on that!Perhaps they've improved it since I bought mine, but I would never spend another dime on it. For the price, I could have purchased something of much better quality. Another reason for the low rating is that they ignored my correspondence under the warranty.
