The oval Le Cruset pot
Love them both so much! The oval one is edging out as the favourite though:-)
I’d love a round one! But they are both beautiful! Decisions, decisions …!
What a pretty colour range! I’d choose the round one, it looks a bit deeper, so will work with sauces and soup. A friend who has one told me the cast iron keeps soup wonderfully warm and is pretty enough to take to the table to dish up!
Wow! what a beautiful colour, it would surely compliment any kitchen and almost looks too stunning to cook in!
I love the blue and the oval shape is great!
I’ve been coveting the Le Creuset pots for ages and do every competition I find to win one. I don’t mind what shape I get but know that hubby will choose the round one for size!
I WOULD LOVE A BEAUTIFUL ROUND ONE!!….
Would love an oval one!
Be still my beating heart – this colour is beautiful! As far as I’m concerned, any shape Le Creuset will do, but the heart shaped casserole dishes are on my ‘want that’ list.
Either would be fabulous, but if I have to choose, then the oval one please!
Forty years ago we bought a Creuset pot (green) while living in Europe. We still have it, and it looks as new.I can think of no better recommendation. With this real experience, any Creuset product would be a valued acquisition!
Dit is die mooiste kleur potte!! wow!!!
I would love to win the round pot!! the blue is an amazing colour!!
I would love to own a ROUND Le Creuset pot. What wouldn’t taste good in a round pot like that?
Amazing little coloured pots. They might not help with my cooking but will look fantastic in my kitchen.
These will certainly take away cooking blues.
The oval pot is unusual and very beautiful and will look beautiful on my stove!
The oval one gets my vote!
I love the buffet caserole – it has such a great summer feel to it!
Oh to have you, beautiful blue, aROUND in my life on a permanent basis would bring me joy

I would the large round one from the Coastal Blue collection, perfect for my ‘large family’ cooking. They are both lovely, ALL your products are lovely…to win a prize from Le Creuset would make my year!
The oval cocotte is PERFECT for cooking a chicken or joint of meat – I MUST have one. And the coastal blue hue will show of a roast beautifully.
Thinking about this is driving me ‘potty’ – a perfect state of mind for the ‘silly season’ approaching us. The blue colour is just gorgeous, and any shape would be great.
The wife would love one of these and since she loves adding colour in the kitchen,I think the oval one would grab her fancy. And if i win the prize for her i could get to wear the pants in the house( well maybe for a day or two)!
LOVE the oval shape! Nothing quite says style like a stunningly gorgeous Le Creuset pot.
I love the oval one!!!
Definitely the oval – sleek,stylish and so untra mod

When I look at those beautiful Coastal Blue Le Creuset Pots…..I dream of filling them with the most delicious Beef in Beer Stew, with DUMPLINGS!! I just LOVE dumplings! (smile) And here’s my recipe:
Ingredients:(If you prefer, you could replace the beer with wine.)
2tbsp olive oil
500g (1lb) trimmed, diced braising steak
1 large onion, cut into wedges, leaves separated
300g (10oz) Chantenay carrots, or ordinary carrots, cut into chunks
2 sticks celery, cut into chunks
500ml bottle light ale/stout
Bay leaf and thyme sprigs
Salt and ground black pepper
For the dumplings:
125g (4oz) self-raising flour
60g (2oz) light suet
1 rounded tbsp thyme or parsley leaves
1tbsp hot horseradish sauce
Method:
Set the oven to Gas Mark 3 or 160°C. Heat 1tbsp of the oil in a large pan and brown meat, in 2 batches, if necessary. Transfer to a casserole dish.
Add the rest of the oil to pan, then add the vegetables and cook for 5 mins.
Pour in beer, bring to the boil and add 200ml (7fl oz) hot water, the bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Cover and cook in oven for 2½ hours until meat and veg are tender. Stir and add more liquid if it looks as though it’s drying out. Check seasoning.
Make the dumplings: Mix the flour, suet and herbs, then add the horseradish and enough water (5-6tbsp) to make a soft dough. Knead very lightly, divide the pastry into 8 and put the pieces (don’t bother to form into balls) round the edge of the casserole. Put the lid back on and cook on the hob for 30 mins.
Oops! Got so excited I forgot to mention, I’d like the ROUND ones please. Thanks! Merry Christmas!
Le Creuset have so many cool shapes, but I like the classic round casserole the best. It makes any dish pretty!
(Ps, I also tweeted about the competition!)
