Le Creuset Factory Store

Bad customers service. Don’t on time to Delivery my order. I order on 2÷6÷2015. Until 17 still did not receive my oder. No return no refund. I will never oder from them. By law not protect consumer.

I’m glad I don’t live terribly far from this Le Creuset outlet because when I’m there it’s almost like being in the adult version of a kid’s candy store… it’s at least that colorful.
This is classic French enamal over cast-​iron cookware that first came on the scene in 1925 and remains a favorite of cooks everywhere. Consider me one of Le Creuset’s biggest fans.
I now have all of my mother’s Le Crueset cookware that she got as a shower gift many years ago .
Then I married someone who came complete with his own assortment of Le Creuset pots, pans, casseroles and braisers.
So you would think I would be all set in the cookware department.
But if you like to cook, as I do, are you ever really «all set» with kitchen stuff?
The answer would be no.
There are always Le Creuset pieces that I suddenly decide I can’t live without a moment longer.
It’s a little bit addictive in that way for me.
It’s even worse now that there are so many compelling colors.
Back in the day they only came in flame orange. Now there is a wide variety of colors.
In stores like Williams-​Sonoma or Crate and Barrel, Le Creuset comes with hefty prices. You could get sticker shock.
Since the pieces last forever, are beautifully made and come from France, I do get it.
There’s a reason the ones I got from my mother are still in pristine condition. They are virtually indestructable with normal use.
But despite understanding the rationale behind the suggested retail price tag, that doesn’t mean you have to pay it. Who doesn’t like a bargain?
So off you can go to this outlet where they sell factory seconds. The fact that these are seconds shouldn’t bother you in the least.
Generally the blemishes are barely noticeable to begin with.
There might be something slightly flawed with the firing of the enamel creating what are usually very tiny imperfections.
The store has lots of merchandise, so you usually have a fair number of each of the same kind of pot or pan to examine. The staff is also very nice and will always help look with you if you’d like.
I was back here not long ago looking to buy one of the super-​duper large Dutch ovens. When I use it, I feel like I’m cooking for a crowd, and often I am.
The size is perfect for making extra large batches of delightful wintery stews and soups so that there is enough for freezing for a later date.
When I look at the pot now, I don’t remember what the flaw was and truthfully, now I can’t even find it.
I purchased this particular pot for considerably less than half off the original price. There are great deals on everything here.
You can also sign up to get store mailings and will get notified when they are having sales which provide additional percentages off the already steeply marked down merchandise.
If you’re new to Le Creuset, I doubt you’ll find more useful cookware that will stand the test of time in both function and beauty. They are hard to damage even if you’re not the best cook… yet!
(On a more serious note: RIP John Lennon…30 long years later…)

I love this place. You can get factory seconds for a steal. If you’re willing to shamelessly dig through the pile, you can find items that basically don’t have a flaw at all. When I was there before Christmas, they were also having a sale (25% off anything over $ 50)…so I got what should’ve been a $ 350 pot for $ 150. That’s some serious shopping.
