LC CREUSET COLORS

skittles2 — Wed, 14 Mar 2018 21:59:54 GMT

Hi, I'm deciding betwee 3 colors:

White, Cotton and Dune.

I have a 5qt braiser in Caribbean. Going to purchase an oval dutch.

I'm looking for a creamy white- not bright white, to add a little contrast with my bright white stove. White, cotton, or dune would look good with caribbean.

I've checked the colors on LC site. The white looks brighter than cotton. I don't mind a slightly grayish white, or a beige white, and dune would look good too- not to many pieces out there in dune though, and sisal would be too dark, I think, at least it looks that way on LC site.

So, I thought I'd come here to see if anyone owns any of these colors.

I may just stick with caribbean, but I like different colors in my home.

Thx

any of those colors would look great with your carribean blue. i have the dune in a 5 qt, it was the first pot i purchased many years ago and I love it! Soft, creamy, eggshell color. I don't own the white or matte white (cotton) but I think the only difference between these true whites is one is shiny and one is matte. Dune is on special for 30% off at Le Crueset outlets if you have one anywhere near you. I live almost 3 hours from one but it was worth the drive for me because the midnight blue was 40% off and I collect that color now, it's perfect in my kitchen. Good luck with your decision, you really can't go wrong with any of the choices!

@skittles2

There is the shiny White (known as White!), Cotton and also a Matte White. I think the Matte looks whiter.

You mentioned grayish and there is a French grey (I think WilliamsSonoma has some pieces) that is paler than the other Oyster grey.

They used to have a true cream that was different (a little more pale yellow undertone). than the Dune.

If you want less neutral, the newest colour is Provence which is a beautiful lavender. (I’ve been trying to decide if I would like with my Marseille) On the Le Creuset site, it is shown next to Caribbean.

There are several pastel colours but, I’ve seen mostly on UK and South Africa Le Creuset sites. Neither ships to the US.

(The South Africa site has really good recipes.)

I have a lot of Dune and it goes beautifully with any of the other colors I can think of! I use it with red and blue for 4th of July and other patriotic events. It is beautiful with the greens and even with the yellows.

Ina Garten has a lot of Dune and has had it for all the years of her show I think. It looks great with greens too, and the colors like Ocean. I think it would be beautiful with the new lavender too.

@indiepup OMGoodness! I forgot about the outlets, LOL, Geez! I do have two w/in half hour, and the worse part is- I'VE NEVER BEEN TO EITHER ONE! I mean, who does that??!

I may have to bring someone to contain me, I can easliy go overboard.

Other than checking each item thoroughly, any tips while shopping their outlets?

Are there coupons for the outlets, other discounts, good return policies?

thx

@trenet Yes, French Gray! I was looking at that on Sur la able or WS??, not sure it was in the 6 3/4 oval though. It's beautiful and I noted it was lighter than Oyster. FG is beautiful and is on my list, I just forgot it was on my list, lol.

If I get a white, I don't want a bright white, glossy or matte is fine, just not glow-in-the-dark teeth white, because my stove it that.

Thx

@CoffeeNut Thx, it looks beautiful online. and it would be lovely against my white stove sitting next to caribbean. It's hard to find online, @indiepup mentioned LC's outlets have Dune. I'm calling them today.

@Sooner Ina! That's where I keep seeing it. It is beautiful. When I check colors and come upon Ocean, or Mineral, or Coastal blue, I hover over them. I really like each.

I'm redoing my kitchen- I'll have gray, or white, or some kind blue/ blueish green cabinets or walls, vice versa and seaglass backsplash, - still deciding on counters.

@skittles2 Have you seen the new Marine Blue? It is fabulous and I think goes well with all the other blues and greens. Williams Sonoma has a light gray that is BEAUTIFUL and also there is Oyster--which goes with all the blues, especially Marine Blue!

Coastal BLue is beautiful but is a more matte baby blue. Not a matte finish, but not as tonal and shiny as some of the others. A much softer blue.

@skittles2 oh wow! I'd be in trouble if I lived that close to an outlet! No, I don't really have any tips because it was only my first time there. I just discovered it (it just opened last year sometime) by chance. I've since learned that they have seconds' but they also have first quality pieces that are just being discontinued. I could find nothing wrong with any of the pieces I bought. I don't know about any coupons.

You can google LC outlet and see the specials on their website.

Your kitchen remodal sounds beautiful, by the way! I bought some new pieces after mine last year. I did 2-tone cabines (white upper/light gray lowers), clear glass backsplash, and blue/gray granite.

@indiepup

Yes, I think I will get into a ton of LC trouble, thanks to you I've been looking at small pieces too.

Your kitchen sounds beautiful, I love blues and grays with white. The 2 cabinet colors great idea! I would love to have my countertops be seaglass, just need to make sure the treatment over them will be strong to withstand everything.

I'm doing things that make me happy, give me peaceful scenes, thoughts, laughs,.....as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, I'm going for it....

I really do like your kitchen!

@Sooner

The blues are nice. I love WS gray. I have a WS near me. I'll check the colors. It's hard to get an accurate hue from the computer.

There are so many colors choose,

like a BOX OF LC CHOCOLATES!!!

If you go to the LC outlet make sure you sign up for their email

Every once in a while you'll receive 50% off one item.

You just have to make sure you have the email with you at time of purchase

I've gotten some great deals with my 50% email. Allowed me to try their non stick cookware. They are wonderful

Is anyone get the TSV?

@DustRose Thanks! That's a great deal..

The TSV is K47064.

Sooner — Sat, 17 Mar 2018 14:59:45 GMT

OH NO! I just ordered one in Marine and one in Oyster! PERFECT size for cornbread, or for holding slaw for a few visitors for burgers, baked beans, things like that! From the measurements, it's basically a 9" round pan that is a little deeper.

What would you use it for?

Re: LC CREUSET COLORS

skittles2 — Sat, 17 Mar 2018 22:44:55 GMT

Those colors are beautiful.

I'd use for breads, cinnamon rolls, stuffings, cakes, rice pudding, apple brown betty

Good Lord, this has turned into a CARB episode for me.

I need to stop before I go make one of these things

Re: LC CREUSET COLORS

indiepup — Sat, 17 Mar 2018 23:08:43 GMT

@Sooner I love both those colors too! I would like to have one of each of those colors but I really don't need more cookware. I am going to get this one though in white since I don't have this size or color. I will use mine mostly for steel cut oats, cream of wheat, lentils, pastas, and soups. But I love all the other ideas of things to do with it. I forget about baking in it! Will have to try something new. I love getting good ideas from others.

One of my favorite ways of roasting a whole chicken is in a larger dutch oven. With the smaller I will roast a few chicken pieces using the same method (brown then add celery, onion, garlic and bay leaf for flavor and moisture, low oven temp.

Smaller amounts of rice might work well in this pot rather than using the instant pot.

@indiepup Need? Oh. That! LOL!!!

I think I will use these a lot. I wanted them to make side dishes to go with soup, chili, and meat and veggie dishes I make in my larger pots. I have mostly blue, red, dune, and a little yellow and white. SO, I think it will all go together.

What I don't have are the really smaller pots like this one, and I knew I'd kick myself if I didn't get the oyster too! You have to remember, I've been collecting them for 25 years.
