Looking at Le Creuset‘s web site today, as you do, I am horrified to find that they now do their cookware in lavender.
what is the world coming to?

I actually rather like that (don’t hit me!) because it would go with my pine and steel kitchen. Not that I can lift the damned things though.
I have a *huge* and ancient black cast iron casserole that I’ve had for over 25 years. I have to be very careful with it when it’s full, as it’s very heavy.
I used to have one of those but I have no idea where it is now. 🙁
Actually, it’s quite nice and I always thought their contraptions were far too orange. You’ll excuse me if I take a moment to peer out of the window for riders in the sky though..
they do plenty of colours other than orange and icky lavender – all our Le Creuset is in a tasteful shade of dark green.
ah, so they do. I’d prefer if the lavendar was a tad more purple, have to admit.
Mine (inherited from my late uncle) is a deeply unbecoming shade of dark brown. Mind you, lavender would clash a teensy bit with a pale yellow kitchen…
Mine are burgundy red. And it isn’t Le Creuset. It’s a french brand called… er – cant’ remember but it began with V, it’s just as good, just as heavy, but about a quarter of the price. 🙂
Mmmm, purple!
Bad And Wrong.
Wrong, and it is going to date very rapidly.
And then in 25 years people will spend big money on them because they are retro!
So buy one now, sell it on ebay in 2030 (if the planet isn’t under water).
It’s an Abomination.
I have spoken.
Not as bad as the chocolate brown. I reckon it’s the influence of either the Gay Pound or Nigella.
Our cocottes are all battleship grey.
And Moz has just said they look like they were torpedoed in the North Atlantic as well. *Mutter*.
🙂
do they make a teapot in this?
Not yet…
The stuff they do in
chocolatemocha is hereto match your VAIO
A nice colour in itself, but definitely not a food-compatible shade. I think that is for people who decorate kitchens, but don’t cook in them.
Mine are a hotch potch of colours, as I buy them from the reject shop and just get what’s going cheapest. Function is more important that colour matching, I always say – though I try to get the nice rich blue colour if I can, cos it goes with my Denby 😉
Don’t heat them with nothing but salt in the bottom though. That can do nasty things to brand new le Creuset pans (sob!). Anyone know of a good (i.e. cheap) re-enamelling service?
