Le Creuset Colors

skittles2 — Sun, 10 Nov 2024 18:49:54 GMT

Does anyone own or have seen Mauve Pink? Does it have a bluish-periwinkle hint? I'd love that.

How about the newish color Sage from LC's site? It's very close to Sea Salt. Has anyone seen both of these? What's the difference, I'm looking for bluish-green.

I had the 4qt Pumpkin Cocotte in Sea Salt but returned it because it seemed too gray (I do have it in White)

I have the 7qt roaster in Sea Salt and love it; it's not grayish like the Cocotte.

Haven't seen Sage or Mauve in person.

Your post was helpful. I am considering my very first Le Creuset piece, the 8 qt. Dutch Oven in color Sea salt. If I do purchase, I hope it is close to what is shown on the presentations. Are you overall happy with this brand?

I believe 2025 is Le Creuset's 100th Anniversary. I'm assuming they will have specials on QVC and maybe some Today Special Values throughout the year. 😊

-LOVE YOUR NAME❣️

Now is the opportune time to try LC.Go for it!

With Q's great return extension postmarked Jan 31, they're pretty good at allowing returns past that date. Try to get 5 easy pays and free shipping with a sale price.

You'll have plenty of time to thoroughly try it out- is it what you need, too heavy, maybe go smaller or a different shape vessel...measure your burners-will they handle this size, you may need to place it across two burners if you intend to use for stovetop along w/oven.

Cleaning has never been a problem for me. Follow LC's instructions for heating up. I never use high heat, no need. It's good for everything I've cooked.

It's not only for hot foods, it can be used for cold items too. I advise you to watch the video presentations here or anywhere. DVR presentations when your item comes on, LC is great to speak with and has tons of recipes, as does Nate and David on social media.

Plus the members here are fabulous to ask!

My Grandmother had an original LC pot, which she passed to my Mom, and then it was to come to me.

however, during a move, it was lost. That hurt because just knowing my Grandma's and my Mom's hands touched it and the love they put into it for their family....but I have the memories, that's all I need.

So I bought my own and will pass them to my children, though I have bought them their own, they still get mine, my grandchildren, even though they're young, like to prepare in them.

Sometimes, they'll refer to certain pots as 'Witches Cauldrons" because they seem massive and very heavy. But they like them!

Enjoy it!

@Karjoh

Yes, that's right! I believe David's visit to France was part of that planning. Hopefully, it will be more than one day, maybe a weekend or week's worth of deals.

@skittles2 Thank you so much! I loved reading your story about your Mother and Grandmother, I bet both were amazing cooks too! You're right, what better time to get one. I am thinking of ordering the TSV in liue of the Dutch Oven. The TSV appears to be very verstile for the price, and probably much less heavy. I hope I would get a lot of use out of it. I love the sea salt color.

I'm not in the market for a pot or a pan but I thought the TSV colors were ghastly. I wouldn't have bought any of them.

DH gave me a set of Cerise as a wedding present.

From then until a few years ago I have bought one other piece - in Cerise!

When I first saw them on QVC I started mixing other colors in. I have one in Sea Salt. I would describe it as aqua with a grey tinge.

I haven't seen Sage in person, but I would guess it is light to light- medium green.

@KittySoftPaws

I think you'll like it, 2 pans for 132 each. This rarely happens for LC items. You can get a glass lid for the braiser, too, or see if you have a lid, any material.

then you won't need to worry about lifting a hot lid off if you don't need it for what you have in the Braiser.

Sea Salt looks great on that item.

Start thinking up Holiday recipes,

Congrats and Enjoy!

@beach-mom

Aww, that's lovely you kept up what your DH began.

Yes, to me the Sage looks more green-blue, at least on LC's site.

I love Sea Salt on my roaster, and it wasn't bad on the Pumpkin, though my overhead light wasn't the greatest at the time, so that could've made it too gray for me.

If Q gets it back in stock, I'll try it again with my new lighting.

I'd like another piece in Sea Salt unless Sage looks better. on the LC site, they're very close.

@Kachina624

Really? They were mostly the usual LC colors- Cerise, Marseille, Oyster, Flame which I have in a Tea Kettle, Meringue which I have in a Braiser and everyone comments favorably, Licorice which I thought looked stunning with the cream interior-I hadn't considered that one before-, Mauve, Sea Salt which I have a few pieces.

Well, to each her own, that's what makes us individuals, but we can still share similar interests like QVC!🌻

@skittles2 - I think he was hoping to get a good cook like his mom - LOL! He did give me jewelry too!

I was young and I'd never heard of Le Creuset. My mom had copper-bottomed Revere ware, that I was responsible for polishing after each use. I kept one of her pans when I cleared out her house.

Once I learned how to cook in Le Creuset I loved it, and I still do! My Dutch oven is stained from years of use- stained, but clean. About 15 years ago or so I decided to take it in to see if they could send it out to be re-enameled. The Le Creuset sales rep talked me out of doing it, saying I could do that, but why would I want to. It just shows "the love the pan got." I took her advice and took it back home.

@Kachina624

I meant to add that I think there were too few colors. I would've liked to see White, Rhone, Olive, Caribbean, more blue, green, yellow, bronze/copper.

Other colors which haven't been offered as much, even if they're discontinued it be nice to revive one every now and again.

And a few colors from LC's site, such as Agave, Chambray, and bring Mattes.

a few colors I love from other sites where they have also have a "special" color just for them, Crate and Barrel has Cream, which is lovely, Williams Sonoma has Graphite- that also may be offered elsewhere. I love those colors.

Pink mauve is very pretty

Re: Le Creuset Colors

skittles2 — Tue, 12 Nov 2024 05:11:47 GMT

@SharkE

Do you have Mauve? If so, is there blue coming through? I think I'd like it more if it was a blueish-pink.

Whatever color it is, it looks pretty on my Mac and TV.

Re: Le Creuset Colors

SharkE — Tue, 12 Nov 2024 16:46:16 GMT

No, don't have any at all. Just like the color. LOL

Too expensive and heavy for me. I'm a pinky/wine color freak

Re: Le Creuset Colors

janefromnewmexico — Mon, 20 Jan 2025 04:55:27 GMT

I agree. I don't know why they can't get some of the other colors like agave and rhone. The same old colors over and over

Re: Le Creuset Colors

janefromnewmexico — Mon, 20 Jan 2025 04:56:18 GMT

You might want to look at agave on the Le Creuset web site.

wagirl — Mon, 20 Jan 2025 14:57:43 GMT

I do like the sea salt, oyster and the pink colors--but am not buying and don't have any LC--too expensive and way too heavy for me.
