I haven’t met a single person who doesn’t believe in Le Creuset’s functionality and cooking power. And, trust me, I’ve met many in my years as a food and nutrition editor. The brand is iconic for a reason. Though worth the investment, I love to scroll the Specials section regularly—you can even find some of its most classic pieces. I polled my fellow writers and editors to hear what Le Creuset pieces they have and love, which ones they gift and which ones they’re hoping to add to their collection. Shop them all on sale below while they’re still in stock!
Best Le Creuset Pieces, According to EatingWell Editors
Signature Oval Dutch Oven
Le Creuset
Another excellent family heirloom choice is this Dutch oven! The larger and longer size makes it easier to accommodate tenderloins of beef or pork and bigger batches of soups or sauces. I’ve had this oval Dutch oven for 15 years, and it still works and looks beautiful. Grab one for yourself while it’s $93 off.
Tapas Dishes, Set of 3
Le Creuset
“I have this set of tapas dishes, and they are really fun for setting out little snacks, like nuts, olives, etc.,” says Megan Ginsberg, senior editor. “They can stand alone or be integrated into a cheese board.”
Demi Kettle and Mugs Set
Le Creuset
“I am adamant in investing in a kettle that you can keep on the stovetop 24/7, and this one is too cute to put away,” says Associate Editor Danielle DeAngelis. She loves it so much, in fact, that she gifted the kettle to her mom for Christmas. “Everyone I know who has the Le Creuset mugs absolutely adores them, so this combo set is ideal for tea lovers!”
Heritage Mugs, Set of 4
Le Creuset
If it’s just mugs that you need, this set is ever-so-slightly different from the classic Le Creuset mugs (which are also on sale!). Personally, I gravitate toward this rounded design. The mugs are safe for the dishwasher, freezer, oven, microwave and broiler, so you can use them for soups and desserts, too.
Craft Series Utensil Set
Le Creuset
This utensil canister combines form and function beautifully! “I love the utensil crock because it’s heavy enough that you can load it up with utensils without worrying about it falling over. It also looks nice on my counter,” says Ginsberg.
Acrylic Classic Salt and Pepper Mill Set
Le Creuset
Similar to the utensil set, this salt and pepper mill marries aesthetic with utility. The set looks equally great on your kitchen counter as it does on the dining table. And you can adjust the grind of both the salt and pepper for a finer or coarser grind.
Straight Wall Ramekin, Set of 2
Le Creuset
“The straight-walled ramekins are perfect for pot de creme,” says Ginsberg. “I also use them when making quick breads and add a little overflow from my loaf pan to the ramekins and bake them separately.”
Signature Stainless Steel 6-Piece Cookware Set
Le Creuset
If you’re in the market for a stainless steel cookware set, this is a fantastic deal and you’ll save more than $275! In case you need another reason to buy it: I’ve been testing the saucepan in this set for over a year, and it quickly became my favorite! It heats evenly, it’s so easy to clean and it’s dishwasher-safe.
