Le Creuset

I was in the market to upgrade some old frying pans and replace with something newer and of better quality made. Quality with Le C doesn’t come short, you’re getting a well made French cast iron product that is designed for intense heat that comes in different shapes and forms. I got a square skillet grill and a oval smooth skillet. I do plan on purchasing a Panini press to utilize my skillet grill to the next level. I have gotten so much better that I hardly go outside to my kitchen island to grill anything. I’ve acquired a better end result inside using my skillet grill I myself can’t match on a bbq. I’m referring to steaks, ground beef patty’s, chicken breast, wings, drum sticks. I haven’t tried fish fillets, yet. I’m not sure how that would turn out by leaving a after taste?
I delayed my review a few months because I didn’t know what to expect or what to write about but I am extremely happy with my upgrade and investment. I can honestly say my two items are broken-​in and working flawlessly to perfection.
They offer a full line including sauce pans, baking dishes, covered casseroles, braisers, roasters, kettles, non stick frying pans and stainless steel pots.
Parking here is unlimited only because it’s a huge outlet center with adequate parking spaces to accommodate every retail store. You can thank a land developer for that perk as they should but sometimes commercial retail is more lucrative over free parking and you find yourself with very little options and tight parking space.
I would recommend coming toward evening hours during Spring and Summer just because weather conditions in this area are very hot and dry with a lot of direct sunlight.
Another thing I would like to mention, this brand is on the heavy side and you’ll probably need two hands to hold firmly.
No regrets for that culinary enthusiast at home :)
ps — after each wash, I apply a very, very light coat of olive oil to help maintain cast iron.

The Le Creuset Outlet at Cabazon was a great shop.
I’m not always a fan of outlet shopping, sometimes the deals aren’t that good or the ‘second’ quality is more like 3^rd or 4^th and really belongs in the garbage bin but Le Creuset makes a great product and they really stand behind it with a lifetime warranty so I stopped in here looking for a frying pan.
I wasn’t exactly sure what I was looking for as far as size or color so after a quick browse around the store, I asked the sales lady for some advice. She said a 7 qt dutch oven was pretty versatile and if I liked the Carribean blue the ‘second quality’ stuff was 40% off. What does that mean? Second quality? She said it meant the item ‘might’ have a cosmetic flaw. Usually it meant the color on the batch didn’t match the master swatch or sometimes it was just overstock. She said as long as we looked over the piece carefully and didn’t see any missing enamel, that there was no real difference and they guaranteed no difference in performance or functionality.
So off I went, I got my 7 qt dutch oven and my 12″ cast iron frying pan for less than the cost of the 5.5 qt dutch oven regularly priced.
It’s not every day someone wants to spend a couple hundred bucks on cookware, but if today is that day, a trip to the Le Creuset outlet might be just the ticket.
**The parking lot for this set of outlets is a little bit small, but I didn’t have a problem finding a spot very near the specific store I wanted to go into.

Writing this for my friend who’s far away from me but close to here: P
Le Creuset, expensive cookware! Haha they have really expensive things but they have a lot of variety of things here. If you want cast iron or pans/​pots/​dishes/​gravy boats, you have come to the right place!
Located in the smaller Cabazon Outlets, it stands out because… well because it’s in the middle of the Cabazon Outlets. You can come in and the employees will come help you with whatever you like.
They have some «clearance» items that are alright (I think I saw some muffin liners that were on clearance) but some of the things that were on the rack were either kinda ugly or still expensive/​with no use for them.
Shorter review, but if you need cookware and don’t mind shelling out some money, this is a good competitor to Williams Sonoma! (They sell the pots and pans as well, right? Yes: P)
Only bad thing, data was not working when I was in here. I’m not sure if it was just by chance or it’s a dead zone here.

Great deals and lots of great product. What sets this store aside in the outlet mall is that it’s the only home store at the entire place, so when you’re looking for a gift within that field, they’re the go-​to store. The service is great as well!

It’s Le Creuset, of course it is awesome.
Anyone serious about cooking should own at least one piece of Le Creu. I would recommend either a 3 Quart or 5 Quart French Oven to start with personally, and you will end up building from there but these are the best in the business folks. The only issue is that Le Creu is mind-​numbingly expensive. You can easily spend $ 300.00 pre piece and $ 500.00 is not outlandish.
«Aaron, I don’t have $ 350.00 for a single piece of enameled cast iron!».
Enter: Le Creuset Outlet Store.
This Outlet is responsible for selling Le Creu’s seconds. What is a «second»? Glad you asked. Basically, a second is anything that cosmetically doesn’t make the grade for a first quality product whether it be color match, uneven lines or something as trivial as the logo in the enamel being too faint. Most importantly, a second cannot give the end user a different experience.
If you can live with a superficial aesthetic blemish, you can get a Le Creuset piece in your kitchen for up to half the cost. I, myself got my hands on a 5 Quart Casserole French Oven for $ 150.00. That is UNHEARD of. Now I Braise, Stew and create Chili like an absolute champ. The only issue was that the «The Creuset» logo is a bit shallow in the enamel.
Now I can’t wait to get my next piece.

If your looking for this type of cookware then this is definitely the place to go. You must go in Tuesdays you get an extra 10% off You must stop at the customer service desk and get a coupon book. The prices are about 30 to 40% below normal so you can get a great deal

Visited the Le Creuset factory store this past weekend to complete some kitchenware to complete some pieces we received as gifts. Many of the Le Creuset pieces are cast iron, and heavy, but these are professional quality pieces that will last a lifetime with the proper care.
They carry most of the pieces you could want at the outlet store. There are a few signature pieces made especially for stores like William Sonoma or Sur La Table, but they have similar pieces in their original line (Just saying in case you are trying to do an apples to apples comparison).
There are some «second quality» pieces available here, but the flaws are really minor. A lot of the classic red colored stuff is all first quality. In any case, everything is marked as such if it is. Great selection of french ovens, pans, pots, bakeware. Prices are marked down up 30%-50%. We found the staff very helpful, and knowledgable.
Well worth it. These are probably the last cooking ware you’ll ever have to buy.

So, I purchased a tea kettle from Le Cruset less than two weeks ago. I used it two times to boil water. Today I noticed rust on the outside where the handle meets the kettle. I called the store and was told I needed to go through the warranty department because they do not accept returns on used merchandise (smart, when you sell over priced crap!). I called the warranty department number and, of course, no one answered. If they do call back, I will need to send the kettle back and be without a kettle.
This is my first Le Cruset purchase. I will never buy another product from this company again! I should have known better when I saw it was made in Thailand!

If you’re flexible on colors, this is a great store for great gear at much better prices. They do cost a bit, but they last a lot longer then the usual non stick coated pans.

Awesome service, pricing and selection. Make sure to look for A sales lady named Melanie. She’s knowledgeable and very helpful.

If you are aspiring chef… like the french… or just like HEAVY METAL (to cook in) then you can’t beat the prices at the Le Creuset outlets. Probably the best french ovens (glazed cast iron large pots) on the market. Might be a little heavy for the smaller chef… but well worth the investment. Well used by professional chefs and for those who love to cook. Versatile and heavy duty for the oven to the burner to the sink…
Great selection of french ovens, pans, pots, bakeware and even some teaware products all at below department store prices by about 30%-50%. A great place to shop for yourself if you like to cook and want to add to your armory… or for a gift for the aspiring Iron Chef on your list.
Good stuff!

This is the place if you love the cookware, they have first and seconds, the slight imperfections are hard to see and save you a lot… Enjoy the cookware and the savings.

I’m a real estate agent and I bought my clients Christmas and «thank you» gifts from this store. Fun! Everybody was very happy! I found neat soup bowls with lids for some, a casserole pan for someone special and I got myself a wonderful pot. I love it for cooking soup. My bean soup comes out delicious and cooks evenly and I love the way the yellow pot looks on my stove! There’s discounts and incentives to make you want to buy. I even buy seconds and they look great. I love LeCreuset and I love the stove. The staff is friendly and very helpful. I think its the best place to get wonderful gifts for special people in your life and mainly you!

One of my favorite little stores. They have really cute kitchen and cooking items. They offer a lot of different colors. You can find odd kitchen items that you don’t normally find, such as honey stirrers.

Don’t think that because it’s an outlet store you’re going to get a deal. I found their prices to be the same. Having said that, the store is awesome. I had a great time fantasizing about all the amazing food I could make with all their amazing products if I had a ton of amazing cash.

I jut love this store… the selectio, the price and the services.

Awesome prices if you are a fan of Le Creuset. Get on their mailing list so you know when there are good deals in advance. The employees are knowledgeable and helpful. I bought a 5qt oval dutch oven for myself ($ 140) a few months back and bought another one for a friend ($ 120) this past wknd. Score!

If you are a fan of Le Creuset, then this is the one store you need to visit. The staff are always friendly and helpful.
Selection changes all the time but we have had the best luck at this location.
Make sure you sign up for their mailing list to get tons of extra savings. It has come in very handy more than once. Sometimes they even have a secret coupon available if you ask.

A great selection of Le Creuset cookware

Me at a Le Creuset is like a kid in a candy store. You either know what Le Creuset makes or you don’t. If you do, you know what I mean, and if you don’t, peh-​leeez google it. You’ll thank me later for making you search for this ;-)
I grew up with their pots and pans and I totally heart them. The most durable pots I’ve seen in my life and yeah, the most expensive, but well worth it. You buy these pots/​pans and you will have them as long as you are alive. Then your kids and grandkids can use them throughout their lives and so on!
In case you are wondering, a 7.5 qt pot after 25% holiday+10% membership discounts cost $ 180.
TIP: Get a free membership and enjoy a 10% discount on every purchase, including sales and promotions.
You’ll also find some very cool kitchen stuff here that you’d love. I love their silicon spatulas and little kitchen gadgets. However, they do not carry all of the Le Creuset kitchen tools in this location.
Unlike other stores in this outlet, this one barely gets crowded or packed even during major holidays, which is great :-)
There is no Le Creuset in the OC, but you can find some of their stuff in Sur La Table. Or you can drive up to the city of Commerce for a more complete selection of Le C.
I won’t say the staff here are the nicest or the most knowledgeable, but most of them try their best.
I can’t wait to go there again :-)

For those of you who haven’t yet been victimized by my gushing about my upcoming move to a new apartment… I’m moving soon to a new apartment. And I’m thrilled. Finally I’ll have some space to nest and decorate. Along with that comes an irresistible urge to buy fun home goods for my new abode.
On the way home from a short trip to Palm Desert, I noticed a huge sign for the Le Creuset outlet and immediately started fantasizing about whipping up amazing dishes in my new kitchen a la Julia Child, surrounded by my colorful cast iron cooking tools. I took a detour and those dreams were quickly dashed when even at a steep discount, the smallest cast iron pot was well over $ 100, which didn’t seem worth it to me since I haven’t the faintest idea what I’d actually do with a cast iron pot. Make a stew?
But not to worry, the kindly woman working there handed me a valentine’s day discount scratcher worth 25% off my purchase and I was determined to find a treat for myself. I ended up with a beautiful butter dish… sure, not quite of the caliber of a fancy dutch oven or casserole dish, but something I’ll surely use for a long time and admire.
Just being in this store made me want to be a better cook… that’s pretty incredible!
