Le Creuset kitchenware is the Ferrari of the cooking world: Elite, expensive enough to make your eyes water when you look at the pricetag and on everyone’s wishlist.
And while the brand does offer sales from time to time, they’re never a very large discount and often don’t last very long either.
But instead of despairing, I’ve discovered a hack for buying the pots and pans you desire without breaking the bank.

Amazon Australia actually stocks a large number of the colourful Le Creuset pieces online and at a much lower rate than you would buy them in store.

Of the skillet one woman said: “Love it, love it, love it. Have used it twice already, one night I cooked steak and the other night I cooked rissoles. It give you a beautiful crust on the meat. The non stick works great”.
“It is Le Creuset, so of course it is of excellent quality. The colour is beautiful and true to the picture online. The cast iron conducts heat very well — perfect for making gravy after roasting,” said another of the casserole dish.
“The porcelain enamel coating is very easy to clean and super durable.”
A third added: “I don’t know why I hadn’t realised Amazon stocks Le Creuset?! And with the almost daily sales you can’t fault it.”
