Several skillets, some vintage with wood handles, pots, dutch oven, casseroles, even a defeou (spelling) that has never been used and sells for $189. I would sell all pieces for $500. Colbalt blue! Just don't need them and want a 7-8 piece set of cookware! I have 22 pieces of Le Creuset–some vintage–that I have been trying to sell!

You can weekly visit the noted stores above especially check with the manager to see when the new inventory is shelved. In housewares you'll find lots of those items for more than 80% off the original listed price. I even got the amazing $159 Calphalon double burner griddle for $12, yes it's true. I checked the Internet site and the main stream stores and it was the real deal. I have bought the largest dutch oven for $49. I also have a cobalt blue set that I got back in 1980 which was my first set of cookware and I still have that set today. They even had a 1 qt sauce pan with a top that also served as a mini frying pan which they haven't made anymore since then and by itself it sold for $135 back then. So yes buying the cookware is worth its weight (and I do mean weight) in gold. If you take care of the pieces or sets they can be passed on down through your family for generations to come. They are just that good!!! Just make sure to get the new inventory dates in the stores you visit and you'll get many surprises of LeCreuset - just don't let them slip past your hands or you'll be sorry when you find out that a particular pot or color doesn't exist anymore. I have two charcoal (not black) large dutch ovens that I haven't seen anywhere else. I'll never give them up. To everyone in regards to LeCreuset.

Always find out the stores delivery days and when the merchandise is newly placed on the shelf. I love Marshalls as well because I bought the Calphalon double burner griddle (originally $159) for $12.95 yest that's right and it was in perfect condition. I got it about 6 years ago and it's still in mint condition. I buy all of my LeCreuset cookware and bakeware there as well. I got all of the 9 qt casserole dutch ovens for no more than $49.95 (originally $300 plus). I also got the charcol grey one for $39.95 all complete with lids in mint condition. I trust going when I know the new shipment is inventoried and shelf stocked and when the doors first open. I'm guaranteed the top of the pick and to this date no defects nor any wear or problems at all with my cookware pieces. Yes Marshalls is my God send. I bought my first LeCreuset (10 pc colbalt blue for $179.00) in 1980) and now added to that collection which is still in mint condition. The porcelain interiors are just fine and still looks great in my kitchen. Just a quick note too. Always find out the stores delivery days and when the merchandise is newly placed on the shelf.

The stoneware is traditionally less expensive than the enameled cast iron, but the butter dish and bakers found in Marshall's are exactly the same as the ones found in the outlet store or in other retail outlets.

There is all this fabulous Le Creuset everywhere in all these pretty colors and now I WANT one! But even with the 30% employee discount I get, full price is a lot of money.

I was in an outlet store for restaurants, and I gagged at the 345$ cost for a crusset tagine. I wonder though, is thickness an issue here? The name may be the same, but it strikes me that perhaps something might be different about it? Worth investigating... You are right about the price of Le Crusset.
