I’m excited! The items I ordered at show are starting to arrive. Le Creuset introduced a new color this year, cassis, it means purple in French. (I don’t think I say it correctly. If you know French, stop in and teach me to say purple. ) Anyway, it is a deep purple like eggplant. My Le Creuset sales rep and I ran around the huge show room grabbing different colors and paring them with cassis. For spring and summer I love the cassis with Dijon (yellow) and Caribbean (light teal) and flame (orange) for fall and winter I love the paring of cassis with flame again and dark chestnut (brown.)
Why would someone want to buy Le Creuset? The price can be higher than something that you would find in a big box store. But the quality is many times greater than that same low grade item. Clean up is what gets me first. I’m tired of scrubbing glass baking dishes and am now sending my children to school with my glass dishes with a quiet hope the dishes do not find their way home again. The stoneware and cast iron I can just wipe clean with a little soap and water, I don’t scrub anymore! Yeah! What floors me is how well I can cook with these. My roasts and chickens are moister and more flavorful than when I use my other vessels. Brownies and vegetables are just better.
Stop by soon and see the newest line Le Creuset has to offer. I have ordered many as special orders for some of our college student customers as they too learn the value of quality.
