Le Creuset cast iron veggie-shaped casseroles?
Ok, so I know everyone says these are "retired", but there are so many brand new on eBay every week, that I'm beginning to wonder if there is some source of these I'm not aware of. I know the few outlet stores I've been to doesn't carry them, but do the signature stores?
I'd really like to get the garlic one, but refuse to pay $200 + shipping on eBay for it, when it seems like they really aren't so "rare".
TIA!

the retired cast iron veggies are 2 qt very sizable
( except I think the garlic came in two sizes in the cast iron and the eggplant came in 2 qt and 5 qt ).....I do not know if all the veggies also had a 5 qt option when they were new
They did make mini cast iron in round in I believe 3 basic colors Macys had the red mini for a long time great for ind mini sides or desserts - esp the chocolate lava dessert

I saw a couple of 'STONEWARE" casseroles recently at Tuesday Morning but not "Cast Iron" though. All that I can find for cast iron on line was follows (Pumpkin) :
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000...Call and ask Centralchef and Cheftools if they still have the one you want. Goodluck.
Now I have a question for you. Could you tell me which WS outlet in NY you like best? I think you said you have been at all of them. Riverhurst, Cedarhust, or Central valley? Thinking about going soon.

This Cherry Blossom casserole from the 2010 Japanese collection is selling for $870. Why?

Wow - that's pricey! I'm sure it's because of the uniqueness and the fact that you can only get it in Japan - and that they will most likely never make that for Europe or the US. Even so, I'm not sure anyone will pay that sort of $$ - I think that's pretty steep. I've seen unique stuff like this go for $400 or so on eBay, but $870?????

We're just outside Albany, so lament that fact too. I never even knew that there WAS WS outlets. I go to the one in Crossgates and pay full price. Jeez, I'm thinking twice about that.
Different Drummers just expanded, but I cruised through and since I have everything I need, and then some, it was a bummer I didn't get to use the discount coupon for anything pricey.

Their outlet store near the border between LA and NV is very impressive. If travel to Vegas, don't forget to visit although no one might want to carry a heavy LC pot when flying:) That is how I gave up the one which I had been looking for when I was there:< The mall even has a free shuttle service from major hotels if I am correct.

I wasn't aware that they were hard to find, but I picked my girlfriend up a yellow pepper shaped casserole from a high end cookware store in Toronto. It's not big -- only slightly larger than an actual pepper -- and I paid $40 for it.
I'd check the smaller shops, and even of they are "retired" they may still have some in stock.
Good luck.›1 Reply-

Was the store William Ashley? I saw vegetable casseroles there but they were all stoneware. Even the very tiny cast iron Le Creuset dutch oven was selling for $65.
The only unusual cast iron Le Creuset I saw in that store was the red heart shaped casserole.
Actually, I have never seen vegetable cast iron Le Creuset casseroles in Toronot, only the Staub orange and green pumpkin shaped ones.Please let me know if you know of another cheaper source for Le Creuset in Toronto.
