All about Le Creuset and cast iron cooking

[Funz]

Was at Taka with my mum yesterday and she too was attracted to the LCs, until she tried lifting one of them. Haha. Then she started scolding, literally, scolding but no one in general lah. Went on and on, say so impractical, empty pot oredi so heavy, with food in it even heavier, …


Had to pull her away from that area to stop her from her ranting.

haha... ya, agree that the pot is h-e-a-v-y. And with all the contents in the dish, lagi heavier. but for Tuscany-feel ambience and setting :boogie: small (\"heavy\"??) price to pay lah

Got mine at Isetan about 1 month ago - it was selling at $338 after 50% discount (and during the Istan promo, there was another 20% discount for members' promo). Find that it's better deal than Robinsons members' sale. The el cheapo me got some Isetan vouchers, so in the end, I think I only paid $100 for my casserole dish. :dancing:

Cooked coq au vin (chicken in white wine) last nite. Yumz :drool:

Hi schweppes,
you mean on top of $338, you got another 20% discount?

that is a very good deal!

I am also interested to get the 29cm, but was put off by the price...

Yess... yess.. the 50% discount promo price was $338, got another 20% discount for Isetan members (during their members' promo sale) and another 5% for the Isetan card rebate. So, in the end, the selling price after all the discounts was $257. Really a good deal

Agree that the original selling price was a turn-off :razz: but with the discounts and my vouchers... just cd not resist. Decided to succumb to temptation :oops:

Uh... i also justify that it wd last a lifetime and felt less guilty after that. Ya.. right!! :razz:

Hi schweppes,


Went down to Robinsons today to see & feel the LC pans. They certainly look pretty ...did u notice those small masak masak looking ones?
You're right, the 18 cm is too small - not even a spring chicken could be put inside... The 29 cm looks ideal, not that big. Weight wise, I'm ok with it.
I didn't get one today .... :oops: have splurged on somethings on myself :oops:. BUT will definitely keep this pan as one of the things in my Kitchen Wishlist.

haha... know what u mean, like the cute cute, masak masak pots too. Anyway, u just reminded me, for the Isetan promo, those who bought the 29cm dish also received a free cocotte mini dish. So quite a good lobang that time. GSS coming soon, so maybe more good deals coming.

Have been getting too many kitchen gadgets too. Influenced by KSP.
Attempting to bring out the (un)domestic goddess in me. haha :preen:

aiyoh... far from it....

Notice how I never contribute to the \"how to cook nice meals\" thread or the \"one dish meal\" thread. :oops: there are so many better cooks than me. :salute:

I always :drool: :drool: over Angmum, Funz and Maid's cooking pix. Only can enjoy virtual suppers as unable to cook the real thing :slapshead:
