Thank you @KS!!! Oyster is one color that I am hoping to add soon; as well as bamboo! The bamboo color is my favorite by far...I am just waiting for them to release it here for the round dutch oven7.5 qt, lol

Thank you for doing an updated collection. Sometimes when I am on the le creuset website I will look at your collection videos to get a size and shape idea of the item I am looking at. Have an amazing week Karen❤

Beautiful collection! I love seeing all the different pieces and colors that you have collected and love that you use them all. I’m getting ready to start my collection and am thinking about the round 5.5qt Dutch oven, the 3.5qt braiser, the 9 inch omelet pan, and the 1.75qt saucepan. I can’t decide between cerise, flame and artichaut so will likely get a mix too. Thank you for sharing! Would love to see how you store it all!

I might just do a video showing how I store all of my pieces a few other people have asked as well. I just did not know so many would be interested, lol :)

Love hearing your opinions since you have so many pieces 🎉 I started with a 5.25qt tall Dutch then went to a 3.5qt brasier style everyday pan with a clear lid and ended up with 2 of those that live on my stove. When I started buying these they mostly only had the super bright primary colors plus some white and navy, now they have so many beautiful muted colors. I just ordered a 6.75 round wide in thyme and it’s on back order apparently but I’m excited to get it. We have an LC outlet about 30 min from me but the prices aren’t great to be honest. I would really like to have a trivet. And I need to exchange the knob on my 5.25, I didn’t realize it wasn’t oven safe past like 390, but I’ve had it in the oven at 500 before and it hasn’t blown up, although I’ve heard horror stories lol

Thank you so much for watching! The braiser is my favorite of all the pots and pans that I have second to that would be my round wide dutch oven, LOL. Thyme is a lovely color, I think my favorite color so far has been Bamboo (but then again my favorite color is green, LOL)

@@karenandmaya8329 bamboo is gorgeous! They had it at the outlet in Phoenix for 30% off ticketed price. I picked up two large Dutch ovens (one wide round and one that’s like 7qt round) for a friend who collects bamboo and palm. She loves them!

Lol ya'll are so cute together. 🥺 What an awesome and high-utility collection; I love that ya'll use everything! No offense to anyone, but I think it's crazy to spend so much on this quality of cookware and then never use it lol. I only started buying LC this year, but I'm almost done with my collection! Anything on sale is beautiful to me, LOL, so my collection is rainbow by default. I have 2 braisers - the 2.5 qt and 3.5 qt, the balti dish, traditional roaster, small oval baker, signature heart cocotte and shallow heart cocotte, 4.5 qt oval dutch oven, 2.5 qt fleur cocotte, the pumpkin cocotte, 1 qt cocotte with the bear, and the rectangular griddle pan. I also have one of those pretty trivets. And I have the new Everyday pan on order from Amazon and a 2.2 qt garlic cocotte coming from Ebay lol. I'm single and typically cook for one, so my obsession with the smaller figural pieces has actually ended up being quite practical. And thanks for the info about the price increases!! That's good incentive to finish my collection by the end of this year, which was my goal. Would you recommend the wide round for a single person? It's on my list because I love the shape, but I wonder if it would be too big.

Hi there! Thank you so much for the awesome feedback! It sounds like you have a wonderful collection and like you I always like to check out the sale items first. I think I would get the round wide dutch oven if I were only cooking for 1. The reason being is at some point if you entertain you will need to make a larger amount and a having a larger dutch oven on stand-by could be helpful. :)

I'm beginning my collection starting with Olive!

Maya is so funny lol. I just started this year and my oh my it's addictive! I started with the white 7.25 qt round dutch oven with a gold knob. I quickly started adding more. I then got the shallow round oven in graphite, and then the 5qt braiser in sea salt. So I try to stay with neutrals and then add a gold or copper knob. I now have white, graphite, sea salt, meringue, oyster, ocean, cream, and costal blue. I randomly just came across the whistling tea kettle yesterday at TJmaxx ($60) and I bought it because our previous kettle was AWFUL. I have bakeware in multiple colors s o I'd say I have a collection of costal neutrals! Not sure if I really need any more.

Hi Jamie! It sounds like you have quite a wonderful collection already with all of the coastal neutrals!! Which Le Creuset pot do you want to add next?

You have a really nice collection with lots of variety. I thought about buying the Demi tea kettle until I read the reviews and decided against it. Instead I purchased the Oolong tea kettle and I love it…I believe I only paid $60 for it during the FTT. One of my favorite features is that you can open it from the handle.

Thank you Letitia, I never thought about the Oolong tea kettle, I may have to look into that one for sure!

I'm glad you've made an updated video of your Le Creuset collection! It looks amazing! I do love how colorful your collection is! At some point I need to do something like this as well, but I'm not there quite yet. My collection also has a lot of different colors in it, but the majority of my pieces are in different shades of blue. It's interesting because Creuset has so many colors, but as you've discussed before so many of the colors are in the blues or blue/greens. I have pieces in Chambray, Lapis, Ink, Marseille, Ocean, Marine, Deep Teal, Cobalt, Agave, Sea Salt and Coastal Blue, as well as Artichaut, Bamboo, Cool Mint and Caribbean Teal. Beyond those I also have pieces in Cotton, Meringue, Creme, Dune, Flame, Cerise, Licorice, Soleil, Oyster and Mist Grey. Oh, and also Fig and Olive, and there are some used stoneware pieces I've gotten used that I'm not certain of the precise colors. Writing it out, I am realizing there are too many colors and I probably have a problem, but I do really enjoy using the pieces and I think they all look gorgeous in the kitchen. Thanks for sharing your collection with us!

Oh Wow your collection sounds just as colorful if not more colorful than mine, lol. I agree there are a lot of blues to choose from with Le Creuset and I think they did of good job of showing the variations between each shade of blue as well. I like that you have the combination of greens like Bamboo, cool mint and artichaut, those colors just compliment each other so well!!! Now that I have a few of each original color like cerise and flame, I feel like I can choose any new color they come out with. I think the only item left on my wishlist is a round 7.5 qt Dutch oven and I am holding out for the color Bamboo!!! I will wait for as long as it takes!!! LOL Thank you for sharing!

Beautiful collection! My partner and I are starting ours now with two pieces on the way as I’m typing this lol. He’s really the chef of the house as we both love cooking for mostly our close friends/neighbors and family. We went with the Signature Round Wide Oven (you sold me on it when I saw yours in the other video… thanks) and the 10 1/4in Signature Skillet both in the color Cerise. As a little time goes by we were thinking about going for the Braiser. We feel that it would be the perfect middleman to the other two pieces while also adding a good sized Oval Dutch Oven to the collection as well. What do you think should be our next piece after that? And thank you so much for your helpful videos and amazing spirit! ❤

Hi MusicPharoah!! Thank you so much for watching! You are going to enjoy cooking with the Signature Round Wide Oven, It is one of my favorites! To me it is like a cross between the dutch oven and a braiser, LOL! Also, the braiser is my all time favorite and I am glad you are adding it to your collection and the color cerise is such a bright and cheerful color! Hmmm, now to what I would suggest you purchase next.....since you both enjoy cooking and entertaining family, friends and neighbors I would suggest purchasing the7.5 qt Chef's oven. I love how it has the bowl like shape, it is great for soups, chilis and has high sides to prevent spills. I hope that was helpful! LOL Happy Cooking!
