I have a hefty set of Chantal cookware I’ve been collecting over the years, picking them up whenever I come across one for sale.

I gravitate toward the cobalt blue, so except for my 9qt creme-colored stock pot, my omlette pan (finally seasoned to the perfect non-stick), saute/casserole, 2 soup and sauce pots and 6 qt stock pot all match.

They have clear glass lids which I find essential for peeking in to see if the alchemy is progressing as planned.

Having the 2 stock pots is very useful, especially when guests come over. I can boil pasta in the largest pot while slow cooking the sauce in the medium sized one.
