Anyone who’s been on the hunt for a good set of quality cookware knows just how quickly things can get expensive. Even when opting for the slightly less popular and far less expensive options, acquiring a big set with all the bells and whistles can still set you back a pretty penny. And while some retailers do an excellent job of offering quality copycats of your favorite brands, like Costco’s fan-favorite Le Creuset dupe, nothing beats finding exactly what you're looking for at a price you can somewhat stomach.
For Le Creuset fans, if a dupe isn't quite as good as the real thing, Costco is doing something big for you. And it's so big, it's literally breaking the internet.

Le Creuset enthusiasts with an extra $4,500 to spend recently discovered that Costco is selling a giant 157-piece set, making the need to purchase dinnerware or cookware ever again practically non-existent.
The set, which is now 404ing on Costco's site, features everything from stoneware and utensils to frying pans and dutch ovens. And while it does boast an eye opening price tag, a previous read through Costco’s description of the set let us know that Le Creuset designed this package specifically with home cooks in mind.

For those looking to set their kitchen up like a professional chef would, this set — if it becomes available again — is for you. For starters, you get three Dutch ovens of different sizes, a variety of oven-proof baking and roasting dishes, six assorted frying and saucepans, two stockpots, a whistling kettle and a French press. From there, the set also includes prep and mixing bowls, ramekins, two cookbooks and a slew of different utensils including spatulas, ladles, wooden spoons and measuring cups to boot. And that's just the pieces for inside the kitchen.
The larger than life set, which is all doused in Le Creuset’s signature shade of red, also includes some very useful wine-related items as well as a 32-piece dining set consisting of soup bowls, pasta bowls, salad plates, dinner plates and mugs.
While the $4,499.99 price tag is certainly a jaw-dropper, it does offer some pretty favorable discounts compared to paying for these items individually. For example, if priced out separately, a 7.25-quart Dutch oven — when not on sale — is $460, while a 5.5-quart is $420, and a 3.5-quart is $360. Just those three items alone place deliver a hefty $1,240 price tag.
If you’re actually considering decking your kitchen out with this incredible one-of-a-kind set when it becomes available again, keep in mind that Costco notes that shipping will take between 1 and 2 weeks with the set arriving on a pallet using a lift gate truck. And yes, you'll need to have someone sign on delivery. We’re talking serious business here, folks. But considering the handling care of the coveted Le Creuset brand, no chances should be taken.
Not interested in waiting it out until the set becomes available on Costco's site again? You can always get started by grabbing Le Creuset's 7.25-quart Signature Round Dutch Oven on sale for nearly $100 off.
