🎄If you live near a Marshall's the shelves were overflowing with all new le creuset pieces. I would imagine the HomeGoods and TJMaxx's are too. Worth checking out -

These may be factory seconds so check to see what warranty they have. They also have seconds at outlet mall locations.

My most used pices are my 4.5qt Oval Dutch Oven and 3.5 qt braiser. I have a 2 in 1 with a grill lid but don’t use it as much as I would if it a regular lid. It works good if want to use it as a lid but is a good 2 piece option for using both pieces. The TSV today is a good one. I have way more than I need but ordered one anywayto gift for Christmas.

I have never used any of this cook ware. Is this piece a good place to start?

Just my husband and myself. Thank you!

I love the Caribbean color but those pieces are too heavy for me.

Agreed. I still have quite a bit of heavy cookware but as I get older it is more difficult to use the heavier pieces.

Re: Thank You QVC,. Re: Le Creuset. :-). :-)

wagirl — Wed, 06 Dec 2017 16:50:45 GMT

I can't justify paying $200 for a small dutch oven---but then I wouldn't pay that much for handbags or shoes either. Just too heavy and made in France is not a thing for me. But yahoo for others!!!

Re: Thank You QVC,. Re: Le Creuset. :-). :-)

NickNack — Wed, 06 Dec 2017 17:10:29 GMT

I couldn't possibly lift those pieces comfortably. Le Creuset is way too heavy for me. If you haven't lifted it you should go somewhere locally and pick it up before ordering it.

Re: Thank You QVC,. Re: Le Creuset. :-). :-)

Solar Is My Name — Wed, 06 Dec 2017 17:14:16 GMT

About five or six years ago I bought a 5 quart STAUB Dutch oven on QVC as TSV. MADE IN FRANCE, too. Check out that line. Mine makes wonderful and moist roasts. Enameled cast iron, just like Le Creuset.

Re: Thank You QVC,. Re: Le Creuset. :-). :-)

BirdieGal — Wed, 06 Dec 2017 17:15:59 GMT

I have several pieces as well as stoneware and accessories and trivets.

I think my most favorite is the brassier with the lid. It is always out on my stove. I used it last night as a matter of fact.

That piece seems to cook a large amount or a small amount well. Usually it is just the two of us now so it is perfect.

I get mine from QVC, Le Creuset directly or their outlet store in Vacaville, Ca.

@wonderfulworld you cannot beat Le Creuset. I know the price is higher than most cookware but it performs beautifully and lasts forever. For me, the only downside is it's heavy (as any cast iron cookware is). These are pretty heavy pieces empty but then when you add the weight of the food you are cooking it can be too much for some folks. This is a beautiful/versatile TSV and if weight isn't a problem for you I think it is more than worth taking a look at.

ITA about LeCreuset. It is the best of all choices.

As to Staub, I've only owned one piece but it was nowhere near as nice as LC and I ended up selling it for $25 and replacing it with a 5qt round LC pot that was much nicer and I didn't have to worry about it not lasting. The Staub 5qt round one had chips in it from the day it was brand new and that's concerning. The finish was nowhere near as nice as LC.

The celebrity type brands, all of which are made in China, are also nowhere as good as LC and some of them have been recalled for issues such as having the enamel explosively release itself from the cast iron, as well as just general cracking and chipping problems. This is one of those 'you get what you pay for' situations.

I already have more than I need - every size from 1qt to 13.25qt, so I'm set and have to make sure I don't buy more.

Unfortunately, due to my broken arm situation and the fact that I cannot afford to have surgery on it so it will heal with a slight deformity and pain issues, I don't even know if I will ever get strong enough to lift the larger ones again. I wasn't all that strong to begin with. That was my good arm, too! So, I guess we'll see.

I hope people find the exact pieces they want. This is such a great company.

Too heavy for me. I handled a very small fry pan at a store and I knew I couldn't manage this type of cookware. Sure is pretty though.

Re: Thank You QVC,. Re: Le Creuset. :-). :-)

trenet — Thu, 07 Dec 2017 02:07:56 GMT

@skittles2

I love the Braisers. I have a 1.5qt and a 3.75qt.

I wish they had one in between the two (they have one larger at 5qt)

I also use my 5.5 qt around Dutch Oven to make soup or pot roast.

[I sear the roast on range top, add onion, herbs, seasonings (including a grainy mustard) - add a stock and wine, then into

the oven until about an hour left and add the veggies: carrots, small red potatoes, shallots. Perfect on a cold day.]

Thank you very much. I ordered the grey after doing some comparison shopping and the Q price is great.

I would have purchased this 4.5 qrt dutch oven IF they would have made the colors to match the 2 qrt smaller oven they sold in September. I purchased the midnight grey in the smaller one and it was gorgeous. I use it all the time. It would have been nice to build a set with the midnight grey; however, that was not the case. I saved some money tonight.

Re: Thank You QVC,. Re: Le Creuset. :-). :-)

momtochloe — Thu, 07 Dec 2017 15:17:48 GMT

@wonderfulworld oh congratulations on your purchase! I would have chosen grey myself but it wasn't available when I had made my previous purchases. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I have enjoyed mine. Now that the weather is cooler, I am waiting for beef short ribs to go on sale as they cook beautifully in my Le Creuset and makes the kitchen smell great!
