A pumpkin-shaped Dutch oven, priced under 30 euros, has recently captured the attention of many online, appearing in numerous videos across social media platforms. The item has become a popular topic of conversation just as autumn and Halloween are approaching, making it ideal for both cooking slow-cooked meals and serving as a festive decoration. This affordable version of the Dutch oven is available at well-known retail chains in France, such as Action, Gifi, and Lidl, as well as on the Amazon website. Its low price—around 30 euros—makes it significantly more accessible than the high-end versions sold by brands like Le Creuset, which charge up to 349 euros for a similar cast iron pumpkin-shaped Dutch oven.
The popularity of this product has led to stock shortages at many stores, prompting some customers to travel long distances to find one. A video by colleagues from the M6 television network showed individuals traveling hundreds of kilometers to reach stores where the pumpkin Dutch oven was still in stock. As a result, the demand has driven up the price of used versions on second-hand marketplaces like Vinted, where some are now listed for as much as 150 euros—five times the original price.
This situation echoes a similar frenzy that occurred a few months ago when Lidl sold air conditioners at extremely low prices during a heatwave. The event led to long lines of customers and even fights over the limited stock. Soon after, used air conditioners were being resold on online marketplaces for inflated prices.
To avoid the hassle of long travel or potential disappointment, it is advised to contact stores in advance to check if the pumpkin Dutch oven is available. Additionally, online marketplaces and independent resellers on social media may offer more stock and alternative purchasing options.
