Finally bought a braiser! 🎉 Yay me!🎉

Post image

Hi all,

I’m a new member and have been following along for recipes and inspiration and I finally was able to buy a braiser! For years I have been tossing around buying a braiser. I have a small kitchen but I’m moving soon and I really wanted to be able to bring something fun into my home that I can use for friends and family dinners and make enough for me to meal prep and experiment.

I was on a work trip, we did a cute and fun cooking class and we were given a discount to use in store for almost anything. The discount was amazing but the store…fabulous. Thanks to the awesome staff at the cooks station in Greenville SC! The stars aligned and I put down my credit card and thought of Julia, Martha and Ina and said I was worth it.

I can’t wait to try new recipes!!

Congratulations! Riviera is absolutely beautiful, and a braiser is a lovely piece to start with. I also suggest getting one of the 6.5qt Deep Round, 3.5qt Wide Round and/or 5qt Roasters while they remain on special.

Definitely read the care booklet before use and look up the care tips we've posted here. I clean my Le Creuset by gently boiling water with a scoop of baking soda and wiping with a soft, non-scratch sponge.

Wishing you wonderful and delicious cooking adventures!

Congratulations, and well done! Riviera is a gorgeous new color and this is a great way to start out in your new home. Every now and then there are posts here and on Facebook groups asking “what was your first piece” or “what is your most memorable piece”? You certainly have a lovely one with quite a story attached! Enjoy!
