Lately I've been passing up all the Kobenstyle I run across, since I already have cupboards full of it. That said, I didn't have to think for a second when I came across this grouping. I only had one turquoise piece before this find, so even though the condition of these six items is questionable, I snatched them up. Included in this lot are all three sizes of covered dutch oven, both the large and small skillet with the early version lanyard wrapped handle, plus the early version of the butter warmer. All fantastic shapes in a great color from a phenomenal designer!

Found on January 17, 2006 in New Hope, MN.

Stacey Jackson said: Nice grouping! Some plain old bleach might take the stain out of the butter warmer. I'm collecting this colour myself.

Bonnie Williams said: As an retired Dansk Factory Outlet manager, and the owner of lots of Dansk products, I thought I would pass along some cleaning advice (that we told buyers of Kobenstyle cookware). If you burn anything in a Kobenstyle pot, DO NOT try to scrape the burnt part out. Instead, fill the cookware with hot water and Cascade dishwasher soap and let it soak overnight. It will clean the pot beautifully. If you have broken the glass enamel seal anywhere food might touch it, than you should not be cooking in it anymore.
