I purchased a spatula which was made in China and part of the range. I initially thought it was a fake- but Le Creuset returned my email and confirmed that it was genuine. It was SO poor in quality compared to the earlier spatulas with the range. Such a shame. PLEASE keep the manufacturing to France.
I’ve been watching since you said this and for the life of me, I can’t figure out if these are stoneware or the classic cast iron. Please let me know if you find out!
