Le Crusty

Lol, so many wrong ways, all because of the Le.
Surly you know that's not how you pronounce that word.

Luh Cru-Say

*may of used google for the second part.

I'd like to clarify that I left 'Le' as 'Le' because everyone knows how to pronounce it. Disregard its inclusion if it's going to cause confusion.

Le Cree-U-seh

edit: after seeing Freefaller's pronunciation I am actually not sure if I pronounce it as above or as he has written it :confused:

Freefaller · 19 Jun 2013 at 21:59

Le Cru zé

But of course in a flawless French accent

DirtyJester · 19 Jun 2013 at 22:11

Easy....'Hooow much!'

Leughhhh crooosew.

But to be honest you're better off buying any equivalent & slightly cheaper cast iron cookware

le crow say for me.

inogen · 19 Jun 2013 at 23:42

Le-cru-set.

But only to annoy the other half who's a French teacher.

Le-cruz-eh would be more correct. I expect. Though I don't get corrected

7. Over priced
8. Heavy
9. Delicate
10. I sold all mine and bought Stellar

None of the examples here seem right to me

The sound for the 'Creu' part of the word isn't really a sound used in English. The sound from saying 'Crow' isn't far off but it's not right.

You're probably not far off, or even maybe spot on! Phonetics are hard to convey as we all have our accents and speech style.

Le Cru-say with a posh English accent.

Blimey those "posh French pots and pans" cost an arm and a leg.

I've always said Le Cree-ooh-say, and my french friend takes the **** out of me for it.

Participant · 20 Jun 2013 at 08:39

The S should definitely be pronounced like a Z if we're going for the French pronunciation, as per Freefaller's answer.

However I never knew the 'Creu' part was pronounced 'Cru'. I always thought the 'e' made it into more or a 'Crerr' for some reason.
