I've found some rare Le Creuset deals on the brand's best-sellers - here's everything you need to know
Taste the luxury lifestyle by investing in a little Le Creuset
The best Le Creuset deals can take this aspirational, expensive brand into the realms of reasonable cookware and bakeware. Whilst sales generally look thin on the ground, I've spent days scouring a range of retailers to find over 50% off the brand's most iconic pieces.
Amazon Prime Day is fast approaching, but if you take a look at the prices right now, it might as well have already started. Whilst the John Lewis sale boasts a little Le Creuset, nowhere compares with Amazon's prices.
If you take a look, you can find one of the best induction pans, elegant flan dishes, sturdy cereal bowls, and classic stainless steel sets for a fraction of their retail price. All these pieces still come with Le Creuset's lifetime guarantee, so you've got nothing to lose by snapping up a saving.
Whether you're looking for a go-to wedding gift or a treat for yourself, here's the place to look. I've found up to 50% off their Heirloom and Classic collections, just give me five minutes to check out their Signature Bread Oven before it goes out of stock. I will fight people for it.

Best Le Creuset deals
Le Creuset's expertise spans three main sections: cookware, bakeware, and tableware. To make your life a little easier, I've split them into sections. Each product still comes with all the Le Creuset style and quality, don't forget that lifetime guarantee too,
Best Le Creuset cookware deals
Le Creuset is perhaps best known for its cookware. The iconic casserole dishes and Dutch ovens dominate their offering, but you can also buy stainless steel, induction-hob-friendly pans, frying pans, and griddles. If it's not enamelled cast iron, it'll be made with either their 3-ply stainless steel or signature stainless steel.

Over the years, I've invested in one Le Creuset classic every time there was a sale on. Whilst my eyes are firmly on the bakeware at the moment, the Heritage Dish Set has me tempted. Think about the open salads in the summers, traybakes in the autumn, and lasagnas in the winter.

Best Le Creuset bakeware deals
The Great British Bake Off isn't here just yet, but if you want to brandish some skills a little early, make sure you're doing it in Le Creuset. I'll be honest, I'm more of a baker than a chef, so this is the section that's most likely to drain my bank account. What you have below is essentially my shortlist of everything I want need to buy. Help me narrow it down, because I really think I should clear out some space at home for the flan dish, bread oven, loaf tin, and cookie tray.
Bread Oven in Cherry: was £182.57, now £127.80 at Tatta Home (save £59.74)
Now, this is what I wanted to see in the sale. I know a £45 saving isn't the biggest offer on here, but you never get deals on Le Creuset's bread ovens. It's the perfect shape for making homemade loaves that could pass as ones from the expensive bakery in town. Just don't buy one before I do.
Classic Stoneware Rectangular Dish: was £30.99, now £27.75 at Wayfair (save £3.24)
I've included a set of these in our cookware guide, but the rectangular dish on its own is perfect for bakes. Whether you want to display a fruit salad or a rustic crumble, it'll look all the better for being in some Le Creuset. I know 10% isn't the biggest saving, but you can get free delivery with the code FREEDELIVERY too.
Stoneware Set of 2 Heritage Round Baking Dishes: was £49, now £39.00 at Diss Ironworks (save £10)
Some people like to do their bakes in round dishes rather than rectangles. If you're doing concentric raspberry circles on top of your lemon tart, they'll suit one of these better than anything else.
Loaf Tin: was £32, now £16 at Le Creuset (save £16)
This is possibly one of the best investments you can make in the sale and not just because there's 50% off the price. You'll have seen a lot of non-toxic bakeware talk online and this is one of the few loaf tins that ticks the boxes for a teflon-free tin. If it's damaged, you can have it replaced. For a lifetime.
Insulated Cookie Sheet: was £32, now £22.95 at Le Amazon (save £10)
The story with this cookie sheet is much the same as the loaf tin, it's some rare, non-toxic bakeware. At half the price, but still full quality, the cookie sheet is going straight into my basket.
Best Le Creuset tableware deals
Your table deserves nothing but the finest plates, bowls, and grinders. When it comes to Le Creuset's tableware, it's our absolute favourite, especially in the sale. Each piece is crafted from thick stoneware. All the designs and colours are classics, so you can mix and match or go for a full set of everything.
There aren't any deals on Le Creuset's tableware at the moment. Trust me, I've looked. However, if you want to know what I have in my kitchen, here are my favourite Le Creuset pieces of all time.

You can't go wrong with one of these jars. They're great for putting spatulas and spoons in, if you want to keep them to hand, but I'd also get some for teabags, spoons, and other coffee station essentials too.

FAQs
When will Le Creuset next be on offer?
The biggest sales of the year are always Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday, and Boxing Day. The next one is Amazon Prime Day, which falls on the 8th and 9th October, so big deals are right around the corner.
There's also a chance that Le Creuset's own site will have a sale. At the very least they'll have some offers. For example, right now, you can get 4 for 3 on mugs and tableware.
Generally, if you're happy to compromise a little on dimensions or colours, you should be able to pick up what you're after. If not, there will be seasonal sales at John Lewisand Wayfair, where you'll see some serious Le Creuset discounts available. I'll keep you up to date on all of them right here.
What time of year does Le Creuset go on offer?
Le Creuset deals tend to float around during different times of the year. For example, the brand often run out-of-season clearance sales, selling their last season items at a discount to make way for new collections.
Often, Le Creuset items will also be discounted during major shopping sale periods, such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday. You'll likely also find discounts at the end of the summer, in January (post-Christmas), and during Amazon Prime Day.
It's likely that you'll see some of the biggest and widest-ranging discounts during the Cyber Weekend; from Black Friday until Cyber Monday. This is because a wide range of retailers that stock Le Creuset, such as Amazon and Wayfair, all take part in this shopping event too – so you'll have your pick of products to buy at a bargain price. And based on our experience, Cyber Weekend is when Le Creuset items get some of their largest price cuts, too.
Does Le Creuset go on sale for Prime Day?
The Le Creuset deals on last year's Prime Day are the secret behind my Le Creuset ramekin and pot set. I saved a whopping 70% (they're still reduced by 50% in the Le Creuset Clearance Sale) on their small dishes and you can bet I bought my fair share of them.
The next Amazon Prime Day is on the 8th and 9th October, so I'll be updating you with the latest and greatest deals as they appear.
Will there be a Le Creuset Black Friday sale?
If last year is anything to go by, Le Creuset will have a wonderful Black Friday sale. Last year, the Le Creuset Gourmand cast iron fondue set saw a £47 reduction, going from £235 to £188 last year. The brand's Tagine with Cast Iron Base and Stoneware Funnel Lid also went from £249 to £174.10; a saving of £74.90.
We saw hundreds of pounds worth of discounts across the site and all of the brand's best sellers, so if you can wait until 29th November, you're guaranteed a saving.
Even if Le Creuset don't have a sale, John Lewis, Amazon and Wayfair will run Le Creuset deals and discounts all the way through to Cyber Monday, so you'll be able to bag a big discount whatever happens.
Where is the best place to get a Le Creuset casserole dish for cheap?
The Le Creuset casserole dish (or dutch ovens, as they are called in the US) is a cookware icon thanks to its long-wearing, keep-forever cast iron construction, and wide range of vibrant colours. Suitable for stews, roasts, soups, casseroles and baking, this one-stop cooking wonder retains heat for even cooking and browning and keeps meals warmer at the table for longer.
The only downside to Le Creuset's casserole dishes is their higher price point, with the smallest size usually retailing from around £195, which is why the Le Creuset Black Friday deals are so great.
The least expensive Le Creuset casserole dishes to buy during the Cyber Weekend sale are normally on the Le Creuset website itself – for the last three years, we've seen discounts of up to 40% offered on the official website. However, sites like QVC, John Lewis and Harts of Stur have been known to offer even lower prices with discounts of up to 50% off on occasion - so it's worth checking the prices on these sites if you're looking to buy a Le Creuset casserole dish for cheap.
Why is Le Creuset usually so expensive?
Le Creuset cookware is extremely popular, but it is unfortunately very pricey. That is why, when their products are massively reduced during Black Friday, you should definitely snap them up – especially if you've had your eye on something specific, such as one of their best cast-iron skillets for a while.
But why are they so expensive? As a premium cookware brand, Le Creuset charges premium prices for the products, and for good reason. They are truly built to last, meaning you get what you pay for. Most of the brand's cast iron, 3-ply stainless steel, toughened nonstick and bakeware products come with Le Creuset's lifetime policy. So if they ever break or become faulty, the brand will repair or replace your item, no matter how long you've owned it. In the case of Le Creuset stoneware products, the brand also offers a 10-year guarantee.
Is Le Creuset worth it?
Many of Le Creuset's products are made to be passed down through generations – you might even own a Le Creuset given to you by a much-loved family member. In short, they are usually a worthwhile investment, that will likely last you far longer than other cheaper cookware can.
Investing in high-quality cookware means it will endure for years to come, and will reduce any need for re-buying items after a short time. It may be more expensive initially, but a sturdy stoneware dish or pot like the ones offered by Le Creuset should last for years (if not decades), without breaking or chipping. Plus, there's no denying they look chic, and are utterly timeless.
And while we all know that Le Creuset products make for great Christmas gifts for mom or Christmas gifts for your mother-in-law, for example, it's also worthwhile considering investing in one for yourself – especially if you enjoy cooking and often work between the stovetop and the oven (most of Le Creuset's cookware can transfer between both).
Plus, as an added bonus, Le Creuset pots and dishes can often become collector's items, especially if they are particularly hard to find like the Le Creuset Harry Potter collection. So your item could actually increase in value - though we make no promises on this.
Is it worth shopping for Le Creuset at Bicester Village?
Bicester Village is one of the best-known luxury outlet shopping destinations in the UK, so if you can go, I would recommend it. The Le Creuset shop there is relatively new, so I took a look around when I was in just a month ago.
There are some good disocunts on offer. However, most of the stock is pretty timeless and doesn't change from season to season, so there's a lot that's full priced. I'd recommend going in with good knowlege of what you want and don't buy it if it's full price. You'll be able to find a saving online.
Before you head to Bicester, make sure to sign up as a member. It's totally free and you get some exclusive discounts offered to you in plenty of the shops. This isn't sponsored, it's just insider knowledge.
How do I find the best Le Creuset deals?
If you're looking for the best Le Creuset deals and sales, there are certain things to keep in mind. When you shop for deals will be the most important factor, as prices will be slashed considerably during sales events such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Amazon Prime Day, Wayfair's Way Day Sale, and more. These will always be the best times to shop Le Creuset, as the brand rarely offers these discounts at other times of the year. Plus, there are often discounts to be found, as well as early access to sales, when you sign up to newsletters from retailers such as Le Creuset and Wayfair.
Another thing to keep in mind is to do your research: some retailers might increase the 'before' price (the RRP) on their site, to suggest that the saving they're offering is larger than it actually is. Always check the actual RRP of a product on the Le Creuset site before buying from another retailer.
Finally, one of the best reasons to invest in a Le Creuset product is the lifetime warranty that the brand offers; it's well-known that Le Creuset items are built to last, and the lifetime guarantee cements this. While most retailers offering Le Creuset deals and sales will feature the same promise, it's always worth making sure this is explicitly detailed.
What are cheaper alternatives to Le Creuset?
If you can't find what you're looking for in the sale right now, you have two options. One, you can play the long game. Check eBay, Amazon, Le Creuset, and other retailers relentlessly until the dish, pan, or jug that want comes into the sale. You'll have to practice patience, but you'll be able to get your hands on the real thing. There's something nice about being in the Le Creuset club.
The second option is that you go for a Le Creuset alternative. Whilst you don't get the brand name and prestige, you can get equal amounts of quality and style from brands such as Our Place and Staub. Sometimes, their products are even better too.
Here are a few of our favourite Le Creuset alternatives right now:
Our Place Always Pan | £130 at Selfridges
Even at full price the iconic Always Pan is cheaper than Le Creuset. Whether it's as good or better is a divisive topic, but our experts love it nonetheless.
John Lewis Casserole Dish | £55-75 at John Lewis
You can pick up some durable, beautiful cast iron from John Lewis and this beautiful blue casserole dish is the perfect example of their selection. You can pick up a smaller one for as cheap as £44 for a limited time, which is a steal.
ProCook Casserole Dish | £59 at ProCook
These pots and pans are popular with our experts. They've got the weight and durability of Le Creuset with some versatile colour options. This shallow dish is great for slow simmering too.
Habitat Cast Iron Casserole Dish | £35 at Habitat
This is another great Le Creuset lookalike. It is the second best seller in their cookware line and has five-star reviews across the board on the Habitat site. Plus, you'll get Nectar points with your purchase. It's a double saving.
If you're looking for the best Le Creuset deals and sales, there are certain things to keep in mind.
