I have that exact same Dutch oven, in brown ... bought circa 1975 and still used regularly.

I have the bean pot version. I actually need a new dutch oven. If the price falls in line with Le Creuset or Staub, I might go for this to have a matched set.

Ah! My mom still uses hers today. I'll have to let her know they're back!

does anybody know yet where these will be made?

Man, this is one of my favorite designs. Whenever I look around for an older piece online, it invariably has some chips and flaws. If they are making new ones, it may prove way too tempting.

My mom has this in blue, and I've always loved it. Now I'll get to have my own! Yay!

I chose to keep a red lasagna pan when we cleaned out the family home, mine's in perfect condition (probably because my mom hated to cook ! )

I got the exact red one featured on their signage at a thrift store in perfect shape for 5 bucks last year. I actually was totally unaware that it was a thing until I got home and googled it (though with a design like that, you can't see it on the thrift store shelf and not think it must me something great you are just unaware of). Now I'm sort of afraid to use it much, which is ridiculous, but it is just too pretty.

My mom has these too. She still uses hers. I am excited to get my own!

This is awesome news!

Are they selling the chafing (paella pans) dishes without a stand?

I have a yellow dutch oven that was a wedding gift to my parents in 1975. Every year I think about tossing it, but refrain. So glad!

my mom has one and i want one of my own! i'm so excited now!!!!

I still have and use the exact same red one, that was my grandmother's. Might have to buy another piece or two.

This is such good news!! I've been searching for a vintage Dansk dutch oven in good condition for so long! Yay :)

Dansk always makes me think of my mom. It would be lovely to have a piece of my own.

Why would you feel guilty for using a piece of cookware? Because it's a collectible? To me, it's a greater sin not to use a useful item and instead put it up on a shelf. Use that baby!

Yup my mom has one of these too!

I own a couple designed by Jens H Quistgaard and manufactured by Dansk in Denmark they are enameled cast iron pots and pans, marked "Dansk Designs Finland" with the JHQ and ducks logo but the "Kobenstyle" line made in France ??? are enamel on stainless steel so they will wear and tear differently as they will conduct heat differently.
Are these actually made in France or elsewhere for C&B?

Why would you feel guilty about using a functional piece? Shouldn't you feel guilty for not using things? Your house isn't a museum, is it?

I've been tempted by these now and again (on etsy). I think I'd want white, though, so new will probably be the way to go after all.

@nebrown99
Well, Dansk is owned by Lenox, which is the only US-based manufacturer of bone china, which they make a biggish deal about on their website. I can't tell where the Dansk lines are made (from the website), but presumably they are sensitive to this sort of consumer concern.

I'm curious to get the details that B77 posted about. My grandmother had a nice yellow one that she used regularly and looked like new when I inherited it. I tried to get more on eBay a few years back and found that food burned and stuck.

@B77: The earliest pieces of Kobenstyle are enameled on the bottom, are made in Denmark, and have a "Four Ducks" logo. The later versions have a different bottom, logo, and are marked Made in France.

What a surprise and treat to see that photo. I inherited that exact red one pictured which I happily use with memories of my step-mother's Chicken Cacciatore.

As long as they're not Made In China I'll be happy.

the kitchn did a great post on this a while back:

It is important to note though, that this is NOT equivalent to the enameled cast iron lines from Le Creuset and Staub; rather, it is equivalent to the enameled steel line from Le Creuset, which is made in Asia (China?). The Kobenstyle is much lighter than enameled cast iron, and heats less evenly. It is a great product though, and beautifully designed. Hope it is not made in China.

Beautiful! Have to admit, this line (though not the brand) is new to me. As someone unaccustomed to enamel, could someone tell me what it's like to cook with it? Julier above mentioned that food sticks, and I've also heard about the related problem of stains.

bliss. The tall pot poached a chicken like nothing else ever will.

My grandma (now 85) has had one of these for ever (in bright yellow)... every family meeting she makes an amazing abalone salad and serves it in it. It is a very coveted item in our family and seeing it today here made my day!

The Best - my Mum has one of these since my childhood and I always loved it!!!

Great news, just made my day!

I am buying....where to sign up!

RE concerns about cooked-on food and stains...

For cooked-on food, you can put water in the pan, along with -- I kid you not -- a dryer sheet. Then boil. Cooked-on food will vanish. (Be sure to keep an eye on the pot so that the water doesn't boil away -- add more water as needed. And, of course wash the pot thoroughly with detergent and water afterwards.)

For stains: just put a bleach-water solution into the pot and wait a while. (Do NOT heat.) Stains will be gone.

I've used both of these methods many times and they've never failed.

I love these pots.

Please, please can you ask Crate and Barrell to open a store in the UK. I keep missing out on all these things!

Thanks for the tips, pippigirl!

Actually, for cooked-on food, I've always just put a good amount of baking soda on the area (a generous couple of tablespoons), added water, and brought it to the boil. Boil a while, and then it all comes off. Works for just about any kind of pot.

As for stains, use Bar Keepers Friends, which is safe and non-toxic.

Enamel, especially older enamel with cracks, can be porous, and so I would not use either bleach or fabric softener sheets, which are not safe for consumption. Even though such amounts are small, cleaning cooking vessels is on off-label use of dryer sheets. Why take the risk when there are other very simple and easy solutions out there? (No house should be without Bar Keepers Friend; it is my essential go-to cleaner for everything, from pots and pans, tiles and taps to shower enclosures. It's awesome, cheap and safe.)

I'm thrilled of course and hope they add more of the iconic kobenstyle colors (brown, teal, yellow). I have a small collection which I use to store "stuff" and keep displayed on my den bookshelf - having he variety of color really brightens up the room. I was in the Scandinavian House shop in Williamsburg and saw that the Krenit bowls have been reissued but only in black and white.

They're available at Crate and Barrel now in Black, Red and White. The prices are pretty reasonable but I keep seeing people comparing them to Staub and Creuset...but there is one major difference...Staub and Le Creuset are cast iron, Kobenstyle is enameled steel which will make for different heat conduction. I'd be curious to see if the new version has a thicker bottom.

Oh, with regard to cleaning Kobenstyle, at one point Dansk had the following on their Danish website:

HOW TO CARE FOR VINTAGE DANSK ENAMEL PIECES (translated from Dansk's Danish website)

-In a pot large enough to submerge the piece of cookware you intend to clean, bring enough water to cover the piece to boil.

-Add 3-5 Tablespoons of Baking Soda to the water and allow the cookware to sit submerged in the boiling solution for 10 + minutes.

-Next, carefully remove from boiling water and wash in hot soapy water and scour with a nylon (not metal) scouring sponge.

-Rub with white vinegar to restore finish to the enamel after the item has cooled.

Granted boiling the larger pieces will be difficult for most people because you have to have a pot bigger that the piece you're cleaning.

Even Barkeeper's Friend can damage the enamel especially if there is already pre-existing damage or deep stains on the piece.

I went to Crate and Barrel yesterday to look at these, with the intention of buying one or more for myself and as Christmas gifts. What a huge disappointment. They look great from a distance, but the minute I picked one up it was clear it was cheap, thin, tinny, and poorly made. The enamel is applied unevenly, and the lids don't quite sit right. They are made in Thailand, probably under bad conditions. If Dansk would commit to quality and make something as good as Le Creuset with the Dansk look, I would buy a whole set. But as it stands, I wouldn't considering buying even one. Darn.
