Le Creuset 2.75 qt

Ilovetea — Sun, 19 Aug 2018 16:41:12 GMT

$99 sale price today on a nice everyday sized Dutch oven. It was good when priced at $129 as a TSV before. At least I was able to get it in white the last time. Good price and great size if anyone wants or needs one.

Me! I bought it in yellow. I scanned online before ordering and it really is an exceptional price.

I purchased this when it was a TSV not knowing how much I would use it. Surprisingly, much more than I thought. Depending on the size of what I am making I use the appropriate pot. For the two of us it works well for smaller soup recipes, stews or even to bake a casserole. Love it!

If you are living near an outlet store they have some FANTASTIC sales on now. Prices are crazy on some items.

I saw the price drop yesterday and bought my 3rd one in this size. We use them pretty much every day and my teenager loves to cook with it. Can't wait for cooler weather, when we make lots of stews and soups and can make a few different kinds for dinner. Keeping my fingers crossed that they'll have a braiser in a TSV soon or a 3.5 qt. I love all of my Le Creuset pieces!

I love this size and find that I use all my LC more after getting it. The handles being smaller does not pose any problems. I had reservations about the smaller handles at first but if anything it takes up less space and it in no way makes me think it is not secure when moving it around. Cast iron will always be weighty and some of the sizes I have seem heavier than it looks like it should be. This particular size is a nice manageable size and weight for a small household.

I wish I lived closer to one. Went to one in July, couldn’t believe the deals. I bought a 4.5 qt. Signature dutch oven, a grill pan, and some accessories for about $215.00 includes taxes.

I live close to an outlet and also to a Sur La Table and Williams Sonoma. Clearance sales anywhere are hard to beat, especially for Le Creuset. The price for the 2.75qt today is exceptional. I ordered a second one in Marseilles. My sister may be getting a very nice Christmas gift.

This really is amazing. I paid that much for each of the two ONE QUART round LC pots I have!

They are happy to ship! At least the one in Oklahoma City, and the shipping prices are usually pretty good--and you can always ask for a better deal on shipping. They have some crazy good prices.

It’s a great deal at $99. I paid $129 as a TSV 6 months ago. Excellent product if it’s in your budget, and you can handle the heavy weight. They are made to last a lifetime. Easy cleanup.

I have accumulated 25 Le Creuset pieces (several inherited from my dear departed parents) in my kitchen. The 2.75 quart pot is an excellent size for 2 to 6 persons.

It is especially good for preparing Asian food, which I use it for daily.

My departed grandparents willed me their cast iron work that they used to prepare meals in their village. It is over 100 years old, and it must be kept seasoned to avoid rust, unlike the Le Creuset cookware.

You have a nice collection Hung. Take care of that wok. I have 12 Le Creuset and 3 Staub enameled cast iron pieces and one Paula Deen raw cast iron 12” with 4” sides chicken fryer. I got the last one on QVC for $20 when they put her product line on clearance years ago. Have not seen one of those before or since.

I had ordered another one to give my sister. It got here today with finger prints, smudge marks and ground in food on the lid along with little round dings all over the inside and a missing recipe book. This one is going back, which is disappointing given the great price.

This is the perfect size for two people! Ever since I bought two for my husband, he doesn't cook in anything else. He loves it (he's the cook in the family, in case you can't tell.)

I was so worried when I read @Ilovetea's comment. But, mine arrived yesterday and it is perfect! I am sorry if anyone got an obviously returned one, but mine appears to be in pristine and brand new condition. There aren't too many of the recipes in the book I will make, but I am looking forward to trying it out.
