Hi Wayne, I looked at these pots a few times this week. I saw them today
near Harrisburg, PA for $186, and in Connecticut, I believe it was the same
price. I still feel the same about the set. The shapes of the pan to me
are a bit disconcerting, but that's probably just me -- perhaps it is an art
deco look, or something about it. And then, of course, at Costco, they are
not 'presented;' you just look at them at in a bunch sitting there. I can
see them in a thoroughly-modern kitchen, but the shape to me would seem to
dominate. You will certainly have to see them for yourself!
Saturday I went to a restaurant supply house in CT and they had huge
displays of Le Creuset, the baking cassseroles and big pots. They said they
sold loads of Le Creuset. I was surprised to see them there. (No, I didn't
buy one - LOL!)
Yes, we had to stay another day because of Hurricane Hannah. But a
beautiful day today.
