Le Creuset

So, I'm looking around at le creuset stuff. I've never used it, but I've heard it lasts forever, and since I have to replace my cast iron anyway...

...and I could use some stoneware...

Does this stuff live up to the hype? Is it easy to clean? Does it scratch easily? Does it heat evenly? Is it worth the investment?

We have a le creuset outlet nearby, or at least an outlet store that carries it. Maybe I can find a good deal...

If you don't know what it is, here:

Opinions are appreciated!!! :lol:

LOVE LOVE LOVE my Le Creuset products. I have several, just got a grill pan for Christmas--fun for meats or vegetables. But my FAVORITE of all their products is their french/dutch ovens. IMO, an essential cooking piece for people who love to cook. One of the few pieces that goes from stove to oven. Great for braising, soups, stews etc. etc. I highly recommend!! Very good quality, I also use over a stock pot often too b/c of the tight seal the oven gives you. Nice porcelain coating inside. I think they are worth it--but if you can get it at an outlet, that's great. I've gotten all mine online, b/c places like William Sonoma where even more expensive. Use mine all the time. This is what I have: Open Original Shared Link I would also encourage you to get a larger size one...They last forever, so even if you are single now, or don't have kids, a bigger one will come in handy someday--or if you like to entertain. Okay, I've said enough!! PS--I have passed signs for an outlet before, but never been able to ck it out. Somewhere on my way to Chicago or Cincinnati--can't remember...

I have 2 frying pans, I love them. I don't find them too hard to clean, they are non-stick but not teflon. Anyhow, they do heat evenly and they are worth the money. I'd like to have more pieces (in the lime green, lol....my pans are older, they are hunter green), but just can't afford them.

I just bought the 7 1/4 qt. Dutch oven for my husband. Our first meal in it will be our St. Patrick's Day corned beef and cabbage. I'll let you know how it goes.

I have a LeCreuset dutch oven and a heart shaped casserole dish. I LOVE LOVE LOVE them! They hold up great, they cook great, and they come in pretty colors! I know I know colors aren't that important - but both are an orangey red and I just love it!

Are these cast iron? Which size do you like the best?

I'd be interested in hearing which pieces (size, model, etc) you all like the best!

Yes! I have the 2 qt. Dutch oven and love it. The best place in the world to buy it is TJ Maxx!!! Great deals. Not huge selection, but keep checking back they get new stuff all the time. Also, I have seen pieces at Marshall's in another state. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Easy to care for and wonderful heating surface. I also recommend for baking, the Pampered Chef pieces. I don't know anyone who sells it around here, but the two pieces I have of that are phenomenal with these flours we use. :) Oh, and Jen! I know exactly which outlet you mean--on the way to Cincinnati--Washington Courthouse--HUGE outlets!! LOVE that place!

I am a crazy shop-aholic, and love a lot of places to shop, but that is one of my absolute favorite outlet places! There are two close together-I think the other one is Jeffersonville (?) It actually was the bigger I think. We used to hit both of them each visit. The one in Jeffersonville has a great Mikasa outlet. Washington Ct. House had more places to eat, if I remember right. It has been about ten years since I've been, so I am sure it has grown, as they were still adding on when I was there. I remember you had to cross the bridge over the Little Miami River to get there. Hate bridges, but loved the shopping more. :)

Ok, quick note: I-71 exit 65-The shops at Jeffersonville :) The mikasa is at the noritake store! (Had to consult my shopping buddies!)

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
