Say Hello to… Big Red

Isn’t she pretty? πŸ™‚

I have been lusting after Le Creuset for about three years now, but getting a piece was never a priority. Well, some generous family members gave me some money for my birthday, so I pooled it together and gave Big Red a nice new home. I’m planning on making beef stew later this week, so I think that will be her inaugural meal… so excited!!

  16. Congratulations, you can’t go wrong, just remember to be patient and give it time to heat up. No going over medium heat or you considerably shorten big red’s lifespan.

  20. Chelle- LeCreuset baking dishes are great! If you go on their website you can see the full collection, but I have the square dish and the small and large rectangular dish. I definitely recommend them!

  21. Hello Big Red!! Enjoy your new LeCreuset Chelle.

    I am going in May to get one of my very own!!

  22. oooh… i saw these on the W-S website when we were doing our registry… i was very tempted to put one on because jon’s mom speaks so highly of cast iron cookware. they had a really pretty blue one that i was eyeing.

    maybe i’ll just add it anyways so i can get 10% off after the wedding as part of the completion program, lol.

  23. I’m soooo jealous. I’ll continue to lust until I can manage to pick one up!

  24. I got what you intend, thankyou for putting up.Woh I am delighted to find this website through google. “Remember that what you believe will depend very much on what you are.” by Noah Porter.
