Dallas Market Hall Hosts Beloved LeCreuset Factory to Table Sale
Thursday is a special day in Dallas. Want to know why? Because the internationally revered Le Creuset Factory to Table Sale opens at Dallas Market Hall. The four-day sale offers deep discounts on a wide variety of Le Creuset cookware and accessories.
What’s the big deal with Le Creuset? First, let’s make sure we are saying the brand correctly: it’s pronounced “luh-CROO-zay” which means I’ve been saying it wrong for half a century. The 95-year-old company manufactures porcelain enameled cast iron cookware, a process that enables superior heat conductivity while being much easier to clean and maintain than traditional cast iron. The cookware, bakeware, kitchen tools and tabletop come in almost 50 colors.
Every home cook should have a Dutch Oven (yes, even you, Millennials) and there are great options at the sale. My 25-year-old son, who is building his culinary prowess and paraphernalia, is shopping for a Dutch Oven but unsure of the best size and shape to buy. According to the Bon Appétit magazine test kitchen, you should first acquire a round versus oval Dutch Oven which makes sense because burners are round so heat distribution is even. Ovals are great for oven roasting. As for size, the general rule of thumb is that a 5 ½ – 6 ½ quart Dutch Oven will handle cooking for four people, a 7-8 qt. size allows space for a large group. And there you have it, a lesson on Dutch Ovens.
