Le Creuset

I have some Le Creuset and do find them very heavy! However the casserole dishes are especially good in my opinion, and I will keep mine until I can’t use them anymore?

Like Sara65, I have Aga cast iron pots which are good in some ways but so heavy. Mostly I can't be bothered to heave them out of the back of the cupboard so use a stainless steel casserole which goes from hob to oven, as DoraMarr suggests.
In short, IMO Le Creuset not worth the money, pain to clean and too heavy.

Yes, they weigh a ton, I’ve still use some casseroles, but not pans. I’ve got Aga cast iron pots which are also too heavy, I’m looking around for lighter alternatives.

Unless you’ve got superhuman strength, I’d give them a miss.

A stainless steel casserole or stockpot will go from hob to oven and will be lighter than le Creuset. Look on the John Lewis or M&S website for ideas.

I also cannot lift them- I am not sure if I was ever able to even at a younger age and without the hand problems I have now.

You might need to buy a hoist!!

They are fabulous! I've got loads but they are mostly decorative nowadays.

They weigh a ton I can't lift them anymore due to my dodgy elbows.
