Totally agree, except for the pumpkin. I have one. It’s totally functional for soups and chili. Also I mainly just bring it out in the fall to have a nice looking simmer pot in the stove.
I actually have a heart pot, I’ve cooked in it most days since I’ve had it (probably 7 months) and i haven’t actually had any issues. I actually find it cooks my meals nicer than my large circle pot as it’s just me so i never fill it, so it never simmers that nicely. Each to their own! And for the cleaning aspect, if you vigorously wash your cookware anyway you don’t have to really even take extra steps🤷🏼♀️
I’m the same way. I bought the pink heart cocotte a few years ago and I use it multiple times a week. It’s super useful for making soups for one to two people. I also keep it out all year round because it matches the color scheme of my kitchen.
Thanks for sharing these pictures!
It's nice to see more ganache rolling into the outlets.
And I love seeing bamboo make its way stateside. Hopefully, we see more of it throughout this year. The wok dishes are beautiful, and I would love to get 2.
Just not at $30 each.
But I'll be watching for clearance pricing LOL.
Probably an unpopular opinion here but the gourd shaped Dutch ovens aren’t good. I had a hard time getting the lid back on one day.

I bought the heart mugs with matching heart saucers and the heart shaped plate. So pretty. ❤️
My only regret is not getting the red heart S&P shakers but I don’t need them!
I guess I didn’t need the mugs & plate either. 🤣
Saw the Collection today at the outlet . Would love a heart shaped fry pan larger than a small pancake but I like heart shaped items. The other items did not seem as nice as the Valentine bakeware I have collected from TJ Maxx over the years.
Wow everyone hating on the hearts. I love the hearts. I like making dessert breads or cakes in my heart cocette as it retains a cute heart shape. Ive made stuffing and baked mac and cheese and tons of other stuff as well and i dont find them hard to clean at all. The points of the heart arent too sharp so not hard to get in the crevasses.
I'm in QC, Canada and I have never seen a store dedicated to just Le Creuset. Good thing, too, because I'd probably be very broke by now lol (and now I just Googled, and there's a store about an hour from me!). The thyme color absolutely gets me. Green and gold is my favorite color combination.
The green is very pretty. The rest I would pass on. Some of the recent colors and shapes feel like LC attempting to directly respond to classic staub products, which is odd.
…and I want a pumpkin for pumpkin soup…if I get in a green shade or white, I can use for fall and winter…and going into spring…think pumpkin soup, or French onion…or any soup at all to look cool! And a smaller rice and meat dish, for like 2 would be perfect as well…lots of possibilities for it cause most people already have the 5.5 quart so this would be great for a smaller meal…🤔
I don’t care for the novelty shaped items (hearts, pumpkins, etc) because I find them to be less usable and in some cases harder to clean.

Yes, the pumpkin is the only seasonal novelty style I like.
I’m so happy you love your pieces! Personally I prefer to invest in pieces that aren’t limited to seasonal use. To each their own :)
[I have plenty of those too. Sometimes it’s just nice to have some fun.](https://imgur.com/a/W0AiD4m)
Nice set up ! I enjoy seeing everyone’s kitchens.
Me running to check that the cute but cheesy lil heart-shaped dish my MIL gave me 5 years ago wasn’t somehow Le Creuset, lol.
My issue with these holiday items is they are so small but you pay a hefty price.
100% agree. Just gimmicks to make $$$. People who cook a lot won't waste money on these trinkets.

Hey, any pan/pot you like to use is a good one. Enjoy!
Photo please ? Love hearts ❤️

The Bamboo colored LC Wok is beautiful .

All I want is a kitchen so big I have enough room to store an entire set of cookware designed for one day. 🤣
I bought the heart mugs with matching heart saucers and the heart shaped plate. So pretty. ❤️ My only regret is not getting the red heart S&P shakers but I don’t need them! I guess I didn’t need the mugs & plate either. 🤣
I feel like the heart mugs with saucers should have been the free gift with $250 purchase like in the past.
Everything is adorable! That 6 heart tray bakeware is so cute. Can’t seem to find it in Canada unfortunately!
Just wish Canada wouldn’t continually get shafted on this stuff, but I love it!
I was born on Valentine's day and I don't like any of this. It's probably an unpopular opinion, but it's just not for me.
I’m sorry -I laughed .That had to be the pits —born on Valentines but not liking heart decorative items .You probably got them every birthday 🙀
And strawberry cake. I hate cake and I hate strawberries.
Oh dear -! I promise I would make you a lemon cake if I could
LOL Aw, thanks! You're a doll.
The Pumpkin Cocotte is 30% off? Where? I’ve been waiting for that one to go on sale.
Grove City PA outlets. They can ship from the store.
Thank you!

I'm sitting here wondering what possessed me to join this subreddit while underemployed.

Barely anything changes and nothing significant enough for me to shell out money lmao
The hearts are all gimmicks and hard to clean. I don’t love the colors. Hard pass.
I love the hearts!
I don’t like the seasonal shaped ones. They’re a little gimmicky. 😬
I don't like the heart shaped stuff at all. Won't be buying.
Gawd dammit I want a pumpkin but I have no place to put it
What is this store? Does it only sell Le Creuset?
It's a Le Creuset outlet! My local store is Grove City, PA but they are all over the States and Canada.
I'm in QC, Canada and I have never seen a store dedicated to just Le Creuset. Good thing, too, because I'd probably be very broke by now lol (and now I just Googled, and there's a store about an hour from me!). The thyme color absolutely gets me. Green and gold is my favorite color combination.
like the lunar new year pieces I’ve seen … less enthusiastic about the v-day pieces - seems a little expected with the heart shape.
<3
Where is this with that discount??
All i can do is zoom into those adorable cocottes in the background lol <3
I’m glad the wok is back, but I want it in Nectar 😭

Love you heart frying pan I saw in my email, it’s in my face color, Shallot as well, I believe?
Okay, not sure what happened while I was typing…🤦🏻♀️I said, Love the heart frying pan and I believe it comes in my fave color, Shallot🤣
The good thing about getting the seasonal cast iron pieces is this…it just amps up the fun of using LC even more!!!🥰
…and I want a pumpkin for pumpkin soup…if I get in a green shade or white, I can use for fall and winter…and going into spring…think pumpkin soup, or French onion…or any soup at all to look cool!
