r/LeCreuset

Walked down the kitchenware isle and saw an orange dutch oven and when I picked it up I saw what it was. I snatched it up so fast! Has a small ding on the inside but I can't say no to $8.99! My white whale!

I thought I had gotten lucky and found the real deal like a lot of other posters the last few weeks. For $30 it wasn't bad for strictly display purposes, but the quality of it was miles away from Le Creuset. I could tell the enamel would chip and the handle wouldn't stand up to actual kitchen use.

They did have a lot of the baking stoneware in various colors - white, cerise, caribbean, pistache, and even the old sky blue color. I was well behaved and resisted buying even though the urge to expand my dragon hoard was strong.

Might go back for this 25cm rectangular baker, though. I think it could be the perfect size for enchiladas...

It was my birthday a few days ago and thought I’d share my bday haul courtesy of the Le Creuset outlet, endless trips to homegoods, and my husband who drove me everywhere so I could be a passenger princess 💅

Photo 1: Flame pumpkin (20% off at the outlet), Shell Pink teapot (homegoods), Rose Quartz butter dish (homegoods), Agave 10 qt stockpot (Marshall’s)

Photo 2: Latest additions with the rest of the gang (minus shallot, cream and meringue because I forgot to pull those pieces out 🤦‍♀️). Most of my collection is shell pink and chiffon pink, and I’m going for a warm gradient / sunset vibe. The Agave is kinda random *but* I’ve been wanting a stockpot with gold trim, and apparently that’s like three colors. All the other colors I would’ve preferred either don’t exist or have stainless trim, so Agave it is! Would love to hear everyone’s suggestions for other colors to add 😊

She has been obsessed for a while now and has gotten some great deals, and she definitely has a theme going, what do you think?

Mauve flower, flame pumpkin, agave braiser

So I’ve been going back and forth between Mauve Pink and Peche for a while now and couldn’t decide which one I liked more. Unfortunately, my nearest store is 3.5 hours away and I just couldn’t make that trip. They were on sale, so I bought both with the plan to return whichever one I liked least, but now I kind of dislike both for different reasons lol.

First, Mauve Pink is not pink at all to me…it’s purple. The stock images made it look more like a true mauve/dusty pink, and I genuinely went back to check because I thought I ordered the wrong color. I don’t hate it, and maybe if it had a gold knob I’d like it more, but I just don’t think I really like it.

Now Peche, I’ve been obsessed with peachy pink for the last two years, so when I found this color I wanted it so bad. But it’s kind of the same thing where the color is slightly off. Even the picture above doesn’t really show it, but the darker orange color is a lot more orange than it looks. In the pictures it looks just slightly darker than the middle color, but in person I’d consider it more of a coral while the lighter color is a very soft baby peach pink.

I ultimately decided to return Peche because I have a gas stove and all of my light-colored pots get flame marks. They don’t really come off even with cleaning, so I knew it would drive me crazy if that happened to this pot.
But now I’m wondering if I should return the Mauve Pink too and just wait until a color comes out that I actually like. If there were a glossy black or if Ganache came back, I would trade it in for either of those in a heartbeat. But as of right now, I don’t think there’s really a color I love.

Hi everyone! Hope you’ve all been well! 💕 My stoneware haul finally arrived, and I was hoping some of you could help me ID/confirm a few of the colors!

🌸 Mini Sets 🌸

For the mini cocottes (left to right), I think I have:

* Orange Blossom
* Poppy Pink + Poppy Blue
* Powder Pink
* Antique Rose
* ??? These two are a mystery, but they were originally sold together as a set
* Palm

A few other mysteries:

🧡 Afternoon Tea collab hearts 🧡
I originally thought these might also be Orange Blossom, but I found an old Japanese blog referring to them as “Carrot Orange.” They definitely look a little more sherbet-y/pastel orange than my Orange Blossom pieces, so I’m wondering if Carrot Orange was actually the official color or if it could just be a production variation?

🩵 Baby set 🩵
Another mystery! The only name I’ve been able to find while searching is “Pastel Blue,” but I wasn’t sure whether that was an official Le Creuset color name or just how resellers were describing it. Would love confirmation if anyone knows!

🍨 Speckled stacking jar 🍨
This one is an off-white/cream with intentional black speckles. I haven’t been able to find a color name anywhere, so for now I’ve just been calling it Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and I love it so much 😂

Thank you all for taking a look! I really appreciate you guys 🙏💕

Just noting that this was also posted on Facebook!

Long-time lurker here, and I finally decided to share my little collection! I only got my first piece - the wide round in Sage - earlier this year, and somehow things escalated pretty quickly. 😂

Current lineup:

6.75 qt Round Wide Dutch Oven in Sage

3.5 qt Sauteuse in Matte White (?)

2.5 qt Stew Pot in French Grey (?)

The last two were a recent Facebook Marketplace find so I'm not entirely sure of the model and colours, but they were quite a steal at $120 for both! They’re both in great shape overall, although the white Sauteuse has some exterior scorch marks that I’d love to clean up.

Any tips for safely removing scorch marks from the exterior enamel without damaging the finish? I’d love to get it looking as good as new!

Still a very small collection compared with some of the ones I see here, but I think I’m officially hooked. 😅

My wife made lasagna the other night. It was delicious, the kids liked it too!

San Francisco baking dish in Agave

Husband left my braiser on gas stovetop empty for like 30 minutes. It’s crackled all throughout. Help!

I am way too excited to display my pumpkins for the first time so Fall is coming early to my home this year! It’s cold where I live anyways so I guess that’s fair. Anyone else already putting out their pumpkins for display?

my first purchase (kettle) next to my latest - DO.

the colours work so well.

I made a post before this asking whether i should opt for the pumpkin or petal braiser as my first braser piece and i decided to go with the Berry Petal Braiser! I have decided to go with the petal just purely due to how beautiful it is. After waiting for it being delivered from Hong Kong which took around 3 weeks, it is finally here ! I am the happiest girl!

Unfortunately they didn't have the pepper shaker.. or already sold it. No idea what they go for/were new. More than 20 cents I guess lol.

I love to see colour combinations. I use le creuset everyday but still can’t get enough of all your collections and pictures.

I’ll start with a picture.
