Classic Dutch Oven
Of course, Le Creuset’s signature item is first on our list: the Dutch oven. You can get this kitchen essential in many, many colors, but we’re pretty partial to this fig hue. The gold-toned knob gives it a little extra touch of sophistication.
Now, grab this elegant pan and start on our best Dutch oven recipes.
Vibrant Cast-Iron Skillet
We love durable, practical cast-iron skillets. But who says practical can’t be pretty? Le Creuset’s version of the kitchen classic comes in 11 colors. Grab one and cook up one of these tasty skillet suppers.
And if cast iron isn’t your thing, the brand also makes a terrific nonstick skillet.
The Olive Branch Collection
Sure, you know Le Creuset for its bold colors, but there’s something to be said for the brilliant white hue of this saucier. The flat white enamel really lets the olive branch motif stand out on this pan. And we think the design would fit in any kitchen, whether you consider your aesthetic more modern farmhouse or traditional Mediterranean.
Le Creuset Dinnerware
If you want to see Le Creuset on more than just your stovetop, you can now get Le Creuset dinnerware. This collection comes in plenty of vibrant colors ready for mixing and matching.
Signature Braiser
Looking for a great all-purpose pan that’s somewhere between your two favorites (you know them: a cast-iron skillet and a Dutch oven)? You’re looking for this Le Creuset braiser. This everyday pan is perfect for all kinds of cooking techniques. Use it to sear, simmer, saute, bake and, yes, braise.
If you need a place to start, try short ribs—they are perfect in this sort of pan.
Whistling Tea Kettle
Le Creuset is so much more than Dutch ovens. Just look at this beautiful tea kettle! Coated in an ombre enamel, we can totally see this striking teal taking center stage on our stove. (If this hue’s not your thing, don’t worry—it comes in eight stunning colors!)
Enamel Grill Pan
Enjoy grilling all year long with a cast-iron grill pan. We just love that Le Creuset carries their beautiful colors into the enamel coating on the handles!
Sleek Saucepan
While Le Creuset is known for its rainbow of colored enamel, there’s nothing wrong with embracing the company’s subtler shades. This graphite saucepan with its gold-tone grip would look pretty atop any stove.
Covered Casserole Dish
When you bring a dish to pass, why not deliver it in a gorgeous marine-colored baking dish? This casserole with a lid is the perfect size for side dishes.
Pepper Mill
Any home cook knows there’s nothing like freshly ground pepper. Why not make sure your pepper mill is just as pretty as it is functional? We love that this gadget comes in a rainbow of colors (look at that orange!).
Enamel Tagine
If you enjoy North African cuisine, you definitely want a tagine in your kitchen. This uniquely shaped vessel helps create delicious dinners with that fall-off-the-bone texture we all crave. Once you click “add to cart,” check out our recipes for Tangerine Chicken Tagine, Chickpea Tagine and Moroccan Vegetable Chicken Tagine.
Canisters
Keep your go-to ingredients at the ready with an assortment of Le Creuset canisters. These ceramic containers have a silicone seal that keeps your ingredients fresh and free of moisture. These containers come in a handful of the brand’s signature colors so you can mix and match to suit your style.
Cerise Loaf Pan
Add this loaf pan to your list of bread-baking essentials. This loaf pan from Le Creuset is amazing for baking up loaves of bread. The stoneware material heats up evenly and retains heat—perfect for bread, pound cakes and even your Sunday meatloaf.
Multifunction Pan
We love a good two-in-one product. This 2.5-quart saucepan is the perfect size for easy side dishes or a small supper. The enameled cast iron heats evenly and retains heat so your meals stay hot.
Oh, and the lid? It doubles as a small frying pan!
French Press
It can be pretty hard to find a pretty coffee maker, but Le Creuset managed to make one! The cheery cherry hue of this French press (if that’s your preferred method), is a happy addition to any kitchen.
Butter Dish
Let’s settle this once and for all: It is absolutely safe to keep butter on the counter. And if you’re going to do it, you should definitely do it in style with the Le Creuset butter dish.
Enameled Stainless Steel Stockpot
Who can resist Le Creuset’s vibrant colors in any form? We love this artichoke green stockpot. It’s just the thing for making warming soups. We recommend you take a hint from this pot’s color namesake, though, and start with this Artichoke Tomato Bisque (it’s got a perfect rating!).
Baking Dish with Platter Lid
In the kitchen, we love great tools and gear—and we love them even more if they’re multifunctional. And if that piece of gear is pretty too, well, we can’t resist clicking “buy now.” That’s how we feel about this Le Creuset baking dish. It’s a gorgeous 13×9 baking pan and the lid also serves as a tray. How terrific is that? Bake up some baklava in the pan, slice it and serve it up right on the lid.
Utensil Crock
A utensil crock is essential in any home kitchen. It keeps all your most-used tools right at your fingertips. This countertop crock from Le Creuset comes with an assortment of silicone tools you’ll reach for often like spatulas and a pastry brush.
Matte Black Dutch Oven
After all these beautifully colored pieces from Le Creuset, you might be wondering why plain black? Well, black—at least the matte version—is making a big comeback in appliances. May as well update your kitchen gear to suit! Start with this licorice oval Dutch oven.
