Mario Batali 2-Quart Sauce Pan, Chianti Review

Mario Batali's cast iron cookware is great and gives Le Crueset a run for their money. I actually like his better because the insides are lined with the beige enamel like the orginal Le Cruesets were (and I liked them better that their current black interiors). I like the longer handles and his design is superior, in my opinion. But... the handles on the covers! Mario, what were you thinking?! (I know what he was thinking, "Wow, those steel covers really look cool with my initial 'M' on them...")But they are better conductors of heat that the pans!!! When you try to remove the lid as you would normally do with any other pan, picture the German villian in "Raiders of The Lost Arc" when he's grabbing the medallian that just came out of the fireplace. Mario, I love you. You are a God when it comes to Chef-dom and even a pretty good designer, but I wish you would have the handles on your pots and pans made from Bakelight so we don't maim ourselves using them. *Otherwise*, I love all of his stuff :-)
