My dad sent me a nice Le Creuset pot for Christmas - just curious how you pronounce it.

Thanks

Americanised or authentic French?

Last year, when I called a local kitchen shop looking for a Le Creuset Dutch oven, the woman who answered the phone kindly corrected my pronunciation to "le crew-say". :)

I've always said/heard "le [rhymes with 'the'] crewSAY". Guess the same as oceanjasper's customer service person....

I'm pretty sure it's pronounced Le Cruh-zay

I was going to say "expensive." ;)

I couldn't really add anything to the posts above -- I think they got it.

I don't own one and have avoided them because of the weight and my neck/arm problems. All the talk about them here has me wanting to check out at least one Dutch oven though. Enjoy yours.

What color is yours? So I can live vicariously if nothing else. :)
