Golden Rabbit Enamelware Review

3/13/2019

So let me tell you first off...I am a very picky person about my kitchen cookware items. My sister-in-law talked me into trying some of our restocked Golden Rabbit enamelware. I picked the small, white dutch oven with a solid lid. I was unbelievably impressed!
Let me list some of the high points for you:
  1. This pot is light and easy to handle it is. I love Le Creuset, but as you know once you add food to it they weight a ton!
  2. I added some EVOO and turned the heat up to med-high. Within a few seconds..yes, I just said seconds! the pan bottom was hot and the oil was ready! My other pans take several minutes! (I literally chop whole onions or even wash dishes while I wait. lol)
  3. Even though the pan was nice and hot, the handles on the side could easily be grabbed and handled! This is stovetop only of course..after in the oven they were hot. And oven mitts had to be used! 
  4. They claim to be non-stick..and it was! The food was sautéing and sizzling but did not stick the whole time and I was softening onions, carrots, and parsnips. 
  5. When ready it can easily go from stovetop to oven! I love this feature since it cuts down on extra pans to wash!!
  6. The pan washed up with dawn and a sponge and was spotless! See pics below. 
So the overall review is Golden Rabbit enamelware gets an A+ in my house! Definitely something you would want to add to your collection, gift to a wedding registry, or bless your  bestie on her birthday!
We carry several styles of pans from solid colors to swirled designs. If we don't carry the one your looking for please speak to one of our customer service specialist about ordering the exact one you want!

One Size Fits None

Are you having trouble finding clothes that fit? Are all size charts the same? 
NO! They are not.  And it's NOT you.  
It's our fashion industry and how it has changed over the years.
One article from Today.com states, "What's happened over time is that (brands) have evolved their sizing to represent who they believe their core customer is," she said. "That's why we have so much inconsistency. If you have a brand catering to a 60-year-old customer, their size medium is going to be representative of their demographic. If you contrast that with a brand serving a tween or teenage customer, their size medium is going to look very different."
In theory, that means your size should at least remain the same within a single brand, but that's not always the case either. Research from True Fit shows the actual waistband measurement of a pair of women's size 6 or 28 jeans can vary by more than 5 inches, depending on the brand. (That variance increases when grouping together different rises, from low to high.)"

So there you have it.
Finding True to Fit sizes, especially Plus sizes can be quiet a challenge.
One Bustle.com blogger had this to say about plus size shopping, "Trying on and shopping for clothes used to be one of the most anxiety-inducing things for me," Chicago-based writer for Bustle Alani Vargas, who wears a size 16, says. "I would get so discouraged and be in a foul mood for hours...It's taken 22 years for me to really be okay with my body, to love it for all that it is, to realize that 'healthy' and 'beautiful' come in all shapes and sizes, and in turn be okay with how my shopping experiences go."
So we want to let you know that you are beautiful, that the size on your clothing tag does not represent who you are, and we are here to help you. It doesn't matter if your a size 2 or a size 22...you matter and you should be able to find clothing that fits comfortably and looks amazing!
We have been doing our research to find better "True to Size" Plus options and  we believe we are making progress! We have several different Plus size options coming in this Spring! Please come by, try some items on, and let us know how they fit! If you shop online, order the size you normally wear and try it on at home. If it needs to be exchanged please call us and we will help you through your shopping experience. This is how you find brands that fit you the way you like. It takes time and that is ok. We will be here to assist you!
