Nov 4th Le Creuset TSV David said

On ITKWD, David said there will be a Le Creuset TSV on November 4th. Anyone want to speculate what it will be? They hinted it was made in France so I'd think it must be enameled cast iron as their stainless and ceramic lines are made in China.

I wonder if it will have a fall theme for Thanksgiving like a pumpkin shaped pot? I'd be thrilled if it was one of their large roasters. If it's a regular round or oval French oven then I'll probably have to pass as I already have a variety of sizes in those, even the goose pot.

I bought my first Le Creuset two weeks ago. Got a nice oval baker on super clearance

( $149.00 plus a one day only extra 20% discount!) sale at Sur La Table. ( I made sure it was a model made in France.) I am loving it! I cannot believe the difference it makes in the flavor of my food. Now I am hooked, and would love to get a round casserole to go with.

I was very fortunate, I purchased a 8 qt cast iron by Frontique (knock off of ? I'm sure) from HSN ($90). The lid was chipped the item was sold out they advised I contact the manufacturer who was JK Henkels.

I received a beautiful 8 qt. La Coquette version by Staub (made in France) a $379 replacement! It looks black but its a deep blue

I cooked with it made a great beef stew, stuffed peppers and just love the size. I have others including LeCruset and I really don't see the difference except the interior is dark.

I needed a larger size and LeCruset was out of my price point.

David did hint about the tsv. He said the video in the factory shows what is being made for it. I've never watched the factory video during a LeCreuset presentation closely enough.

This post has been removed by QVC because a link was provided that takes you to another retailer to make a purchase..

Well that made me rewatch the presentation last night, but I didn't hear them reference the factory video regarding the TSV. But I did hear him say that the TSV piece was going to be very different than the 6qt oven they were showing and that you'd want both. So it doesn't seem like it will be an oven, which what I really thought it would be since that is such a basic piece. I really hope it's the 7qt roasting pan since that's the only thing I want at the moment. I have tons of the other pieces.

Here is just a guess, but I would think that to be a TSV they want to sell a lot. Therefore they try to keep the price point down. So, I could be very wrong, but I'm betting it will be a smaller piece, and less expensive, in order to appeal to more buyers.

Just a thought.

I would bet on something like the way they sell Apple products. Something older in the line, has a lot of stuff like spatulas or pot holders or something with it, and costs WAY more than you could get it on sale or from a good retailer or one of their outlet stores.

I love LOVE Le Creuset! Unfortunately, the color of my set (Cobalt) is discontinued, so I can only get new items from the outlets.

I apologize, I mistook what David actually said: we took pictures of it while it is/was being made. I thought he was referring to a video that I remember seeing once.

If David took pictures while it was being made, then it is most likely not an old piece that they will be selling. That means it's a new, dumbed down, "made for QVC" piece and I'm afraid it will be a repeat of that horrible Staub TSV many years ago where they were all chipped and had to be returned. (not to mention they were all glittery which was another deal breaker for me).

Lots of Le Creuset vendors get exclusive colors so I thought they might do that for the TSV.

Re: Nov 4th Le Creuset TSV David said

novamc1 — Fri, 04 Sep 2015 01:26:47 GMT

I was thinking the same thing about the possibility of an exclusive color for QVC.

I've bought several pieces from Williams Sonoma and Sur La Table simply because I liked their exclusive colors of Ocean (a gray-green from WS) and a burgundy/merlot/dark red shade from SLT.

I also think QVC should offer a smaller size dutch oven than it has been pushing in the 6.5-quart size. I use my smaller sizes as much as I use the larger ones. Didn't watch the show where the "hint" was given about a new piece of LC, but interested for sure in what that might turn out to be.

ITKWD Fan — Tue, 08 Sep 2015 23:23:53 GMT

My guess is it's probably a braiser as the dutch oven and grill pan has been on the show and the braiser is probably the 2nd most popular LC vessel to have in a kitchen. And, you can see the braiser, grill pan, & wok in the LC video in the previous video so my guess is it's probably one of these if I understood David and Nate right. Or it could be a vessel from their 90th Anniversary edition.

Thanks for the link. I had ordered the larger size version of this pan a few years ago and had to send it back because it was way too big for my needs. This size is great for everyday use.
