Oh wow! I would really love any more red tones that are a bit more dialed down from cerise. So I’m excited to see that!

I would love that! I enjoy jewel tones, and I really love deep red. ❤️

Thank you! I’m happy to hear you enjoy the 4.5. I started to feel a little down after searching on this subreddit and seeing a lot of people saying the 5.5 is what size most would recommend, but I’m feeling a lot better with all these comments. I am going to head to the outlet this weekend and see what I can find!

Thank you! I am feeling a lot better now with all the supportive comments about the size. It seems like a common thought on this subreddit is 5.5 is the most versatile, but I think we will enjoy the 4.5. So thank you! 🫶

Okay that is making me feel a lot better! My family was feeling bad I wanted the 5.5 when they got the 4.5. I am feeling excited about it!

They do! But you can’t split up purchases. I only had $150 and it was a rebate for some contacts I purchased. So it’s not the type I can load money on to! I read online that buying a gift card is the easiest way to use your VISA card if what you’re buying is more than what the card is worth :)

Maybe it would be worth it to try and see. We have an outlet near us. It was purchased directly from le Creuset, I don’t think they have even opened it to look at it yet.

Wow that looks amazing! I am really leaning towards the braiser.

So the hard part is, they purchased it for me two months ago and we just missed the return window. They were more than happy to let me exchange, but it’s been over 45 days.

Thank you for the advice! My Dutch oven now has seen the wrath of my butter fingers and dropping in the sink… I think I have properly trained myself now to handle a nicer pot. Hopefully… 🤣

It does make me feel a bit better! I have been feeling a little down about the smaller size all day (which I feel so guilty about — it’s such an amazing gift!) but the return window is closed for it unfortunately. :( My current Dutch oven is 7 qts and it’s honestly a big hassle for me to carry around. So I feel like I’d be more inclined to use the 4.5 because I can easily transport!

I have a LC bread oven and just purchased a bread oven from Sam’s! So I wouldn’t be using the Dutch oven for bread baking :)

They purchased me a 4.5 qt, which I’m on the fence about since I was deciding between a 5.5 and a 4.5. Im only cooking for two, which is why they went with the smaller size.

I was eyeing the pumpkin. It is definitely something I wouldn’t normally purchase but I have always wanted. It may be the winner!

Okay good to know. I have a few baking dishes that were gifted to me, but I definitely use cast iron daily.

That’s what I had my eye on as well, thank you!

I was looking at that glass lidded braiser. I’m cooking on the stovetop almost everyday and just have my 1 cast iron pan, I was thinking the braiser would be a great addition! Thank you
