Rights and wrongs of shelf pricing.

Don’t you find them incredibly heavy, though, cc? I inherited a large one from my MiL, but hardly used it because of the weight - it ended up in a charity shop!

I find mine very heavy now Witzend and don't use them "stovetop" anything like as much as I did - but there are often only two of us eating now so it seems unnecessary.

I think I use my largest ones probably only twice a week but I do still love them.

One of the benefits of devolution rather than independence Lucy.

That’s the reason they DONT want full independance they want to cherry-pick.😈

Indeed Katie. Lots of freebies and a big black hole in the finances.

I try to keep them somewhere where I don't have to lift them up too much. As I've been using these heavy pots for so many years I think that I have developed the right muscles!
I should add that I take a lot of care when using them on my induction hob as I've found that the glass scratches more easily on my new one.

I do use then pretty regularly as I roast and bake bread in them. Also we like risotto and I have a couple in different sizes which are a rounded shape and ideal for this.

cc I use my massive omelette-type Le Creuset frying pan for risotto and although we used to use the largest for bread we tend to use a stone or a bread oven now.. That said, I wouldn't be without them and the 7 to 8 litre ones are more useful than the really massive ones.

I have some the big cast iron griddles too, with and without grilling bars, which are great for bread and pizza. However since I got my air fryer (which has a grilling grid) I don't think I'll use them much. I used to use the plates a lot on my Aga but we've moved now and don't have one,
Do you mean the pans that are like frying pans with two side handles? I love them and often use them for roasting chicken joints with vegetables and spice paste. I've also got a few of the oval gratin dishes which I use a lot. I don't think that they make them any more.
I'll probably have to sell some of my Le Creuset on EBay because I have a lot less storage space now.
