Has anyone seen it in their local Walmart and if you have one, how's the quality?
I keep getting ads for the Le Creuset one, but I'm on a Marshall's/Homegoods type budget after renovating our kitchen. They're so cute though that I WANT one.

I can't help as I am eyeing the new Le Creuset one. They changed the handle and design a bit and oh my is it gorgeous. Especially the sea salt color.

I saw it when I was at her store... I didn't look at it REAL good, but it did seem to be well made. That was just from a glance.

That handle makes it so much better. My husband damaged the small Dutch oven in my inherited set. I wonder if anyone would notice the replacement was twice as large and didn’t match? |

That’s adorable!
I don’t have it, but…. Ha. Don’t you hate when people weigh in on something they don’t even own?
Anyway, just as an aside - I had a Rachel Ray Dutch Oven a few years back. (Similar price point.) It performed just like any enameled cast iron Dutch Oven. I already owned a Le Creuset, but wanted a different size. With in a year or so, the RR Dutch oven started to chip around the rim of the pot. I’ve never had my Le Creusets chip and they are both well over 10 years old.
I’m guessing at this lower price point, the pots may have a thinner enamel coat than the Le Creuset or Staub. I bought my DD a Staub over 10 years ago and she loves it. I’d check for reviews and see if there are any chipping issues.

I've had a Martha Stewart enameled cast iron for years and years. The original one was recalled for chipping issues (i was not having issues with mine), so I took mine in and exchanged it. Ive never had a problem with mine.

Very disappointing, although I think I bought it at Marshall's, so it wasn't too expensive. I love Le Creuset and I'm keeping my eyes open for any sales on the braiser. |

Fall is my favorite season and it's calling my name. I was thinking of trying the Pioneer Woman option if it wasn't a train wreck. |

Orange isn't my color, but the Le Crueset sure is pretty.
No need here, but it is too heavy for me...

I bought a Sur La Table knockoff version of the Le Crueset. It was good but the Le Crueset is so much better. My advice is to save up for the real thing.

I am hopefully going to an outlet in about a month and hope to get this exact thing in this exact color. Either Sea Salt or the new dark green one. That looks stunning too  |

That looks stunning too Just so you know the pumpkin is only available in sea salt, persimmon, and meringue. Is it Artichaut you are talking about? That is such a gorgeous green. The new color Rhone is interesting. In some photos is looks deep red and others like a brown red. |

And yes, Artichaut. I have only seen pictures online, not in person, but its stunning, IMO, haha. Didnt know about Rhone! Anxious to get to this outlet store! |

I can't help as I am eyeing the new Le Creuset one. They changed the handle and design a bit and oh my is it gorgeous. Especially the sea salt color. I'm missing what exactly was changed (hard to tell from the pictures) -- is the new handle higher/slightly tilted and larger? I'd be worried that my existing heat-resistant handle covers would no longer fit... What changed with the overall design? casii , I don't have any of the PW cast iron pieces, but for the price point I say if you love it go for it! It is cute! ETA: I am another one who has a now-slightly-chipped Rachel Ray small dutch oven. My Le Creuset and Staub pieces are much better and longer-lasting quality. |
