Light-weight le creuset?

Judaline · ‎03-10-2010

Is there one? I used to laugh when lifting mine in and out of the oven. I thought it would give me muscles, lol. Not so funny anymore. Anyway, I'd use it more if it wasn't so dern heavy.

Am guessing no. I am thinking of donating my covered casserole before it kills me. I know there are women who collect this line of cookware and have dozens of pieces. They must have the physiques of bodybuilders.

Send your pieces to Mr David V.............he is so in love with this cooking line...even the box it comes in creates a happy dance!

I love Le Creuset. Fortunately by the time I felt I could afford it, I was also aware I couldn't easily lift it, so I just enjoy looking!

Same with cast iron pans. All too heavy for me now.

I have never used my dutch oven in the oven - bc i dont want accidents

if a recipe calls for - first stove top cooking and finish off in the oven

i continue to simmer on stovetop and give it stir every so often

it may not be exactly the same - but i dont want to chance it

Hot liquidy stuff - is just not for me

i'm okay lifting a roast out of oven - maybe it is the sloshing liquid

maybe it is bc i cant see - bc of the closed lid - idk

i do love cooking in cast iron

I mean, cast iron is just heavy.

I have thrown in the towel on any brand of iron cookware. Things come out way too done with my level of attention, I guess. I've switched completely to a slow cooker for these recipes.
