Outsourced?

I have been collecting Le Creuset cookware for a few years now. Because of the high price, I have done this rather slowly due to waiting for sale prices. Now that France has outsourced the production to Thialand, I would have expected the prices to drop drastically. They have not. I won't be buying anymore Le Creuset unless I can find pieces made either in
the Good 'ol USA, or in France, which was the original producer.

Very cute and stylish, easy prep - from oven/micro straight to the table. Good size for one-person meal!

So Cute

I'm using my petite covered casserole as a salt bowl. It looks so cute on my kitchen counter next to the stove.

we are using it as a butter dish!!

we leave it out on our dark green granite countertop, so it looks nice when everyone forgets to put it away

So cute!

This little red container is perfect for extra pepper or other spices that have been ground. I keep it beside my glass salt container next to the stove.

Cute!

I use this as butter keeper, therefore, I am not alb e to speak for how it does in the oven.

I like the size and color.

These are great!

I have been looking everywhere for small covered containers to keep my salt & pepper in. These work perfectly. I tried to find ones like Giada uses but had no luck. These are great and I love their look on my counter. Highly recommended.

Cute Casserole Dish But.....

This casserole dish is very cute but I cannot see it being used for its intended purpose as it would not hold even 1 serving without boiling all over the stove or oven. That being said I bought it with the intent of using it for storing spices as it was discribed as having a tight fitting lid. It does not have what I would call a tight fitting lid as it just sits on top and moves all over the dish. I was disappointed at this and will see if I can figure out another use for it as it was pretty pricey. Although I know LeCreuset products are expensive they are usually worth the price. I would not pay that much again for this. About half the price I paid would be a far better price.
