Le Creuset DECKELKNOPF SIG EDELSTAHL 57 CM

I started baking bread in my dutch oven. The plastic handle wasn't suitable up to the temperatures needed so I had to swap for this. It does the job, but at the price I kinda feel like it should make me coffee in the morning

Great upgrade. I didn't realise that different Le Creuset knobs can only handle certain temperatures so ruined my previous handle. This new one is oven safe up to 230 degrees so will take anything I throw at it. Really easy to fit with the supplied screw, you just need a flat head screwdriver, I would suggest not over tightening it as you could crack the enamel. Its is a bit bigger than the original but that makes it easier to lift the lid with an oven glove on.

A perfect replacement for my 20+ year old black phenolic knob that shattered when I cropped my casserole lid onto a tiled floor. Looks very smart, survived the dishwasher intact but only downside is it gets hot.

Having looked at cheaper alternatives, I realised that considering what these casseroles cost nowadays it warranted the cost of a genuine replacement knob. Very easy to fit, and came complete with a new screw.

Works fine as a handle, but for the amount of money that was charged it felt rather lightweight, flimsy and cheap.It also looks weird on the pot. It doesn't look like it was designed to be on the le Creuset at all, and looks out of place, like an afterthought.It also came in unecessary disposable plastic packaging.
