General Comments
We received a number of Denby items as a wedding present including a casserole dish, a square pan and some bowls, and so far have been really pleased with the results. The casserole and pan cook the food really evenly, heat up quickly and wash easily. Plus they both look nice enough to serve in. The ranges come in a variety of lovely colours and designs and you're bound to find something to match what you have. My main complaint is that not every store carries the full range so that what John Lewis stocks in a particular Denby pattern will be different from what you find in Debenhams. For example, we had a particular jug on our gift list at John Lewis' which we didn't get. We decided to use some Debenham's gift vouchers to purchase it only to be told the item did not exist. When we went to John Lewis' they had it in stock. A wee bit confusing and probably more down to what the stores order rather than Denby. Either way, these are definitely cooking items that we will have for many years to come.

Glad you are happy with yours, my whole set was ruined within 2 months! DO NOT BUY THE ENERGY RANGE!! The matt finish on every single piece was permanently marked by cutlery (or anything that it came in contact with!) which I was told by Denby to remove with an abrasive bathroom cleaner! When I returned a mug for them to inspect they told me that I had a 'faulty batch' funny that, as the range was bought from 3 different department stores and a seconds shop! hmm!!! My cheapie Ikea starter set lasted me 3 years with no problems, the Denby not even three months! Not recommended! Denby acknowledge that the set does mark, but will not admit that its a fault with the range.. you decide!
