1. Le Creuset 2.65-Quart Stoneware Oval Covered Casserole
Don't wait to bring this dish home, because we're talking about really beautiful stoneware. Specifically Le Creuset's Stoneware Oval Covered Casserole, which also comes in Cool Mint, Oyster, Marseille and Meringue. A quality shine of a finish combined with scalloped handles...and then when you lift the lid you reveal perfect the mac and cheese, or delicious green beans, or stuffing. Goes straight from the kitchen to your table.
2. Le Creuset 3.5-Quart Cast-Iron Round Wide Dutch Oven
Not only can you use it to roast and braise meats and slow-cook hearty stews, but you can even bake a cake in it. It really does it all, plus it goes from oven to dishwasher without a problem. "This 3.5-quart is the perfect size for so many meals!" reported this fan. "I absolutely love it. I've made sauces, soups, stews and stir-fry meals. I also made my baked Spanish rice in it! And so easy to clean!"
3. Le Creuset 4.5-Quart Cast Iron Round Wide Dutch Oven
With this Dutch oven, you'll look like a French chef and your food may actually be just as good. This foodie reported, "Sunday sauce simmering on the stove right now. Beautiful color. Le Creuset lasts a lifetime — mine hasn’t stained yet and washes up easily in the dishwasher."Available in eight other colors like dark teal and a white-tone meringue.
4. Le Creuset 2-Piece Nonstick Pro Fry Pan Set
Toughened, Non-stick Pro Skillets. Who could ask for anything more? Well, with this set you get a 9.5-inch and a 12-inch skillet that are dishwasher-safe and can be used on any stovetop including induction — thanks to the stainless steel plate on the bottom. They've got Le Creuset's signature non-stick coating and are oven-safe to 500 degrees. This will be your go-to set and bring decades of great meals.
5. Le Creuset 3.75-Quart Cast-Iron Cassadou with Glass Lid
Cassadou? Don't mind if I do! And don't worry if you had to look up the name — Le Creuset's Cast-Iron Cassadou can be defined as simply the best multi-purpose cookware. It's ideal for frying, braising, or simmering. This cassadou-phile raved, "I've made numerous soups, stews, roasts, and even baked beans from scratch in this piece — it cleans up like a dream and holds plenty of food. Also has excellent heat retention and durability. I love all my Le Creuset pieces, but this one is getting a lot of use in my kitchen lately."
6. Le Creuset Toughened Nonstick Pro Square Grill Pan
Enjoy fresh-from-the-grill steaks and burgers any time of the year thanks to the Toughened Non-Stick Pro Square Grill Pan. Food cooks quickly and easily and can go from the stovetop to the oven (up to 500 degrees). The non-stick interior means the food slides right off the pan onto your plate. You can even through it in the dishwasher.
7. Le Creuset 2.25-Quart Holiday Braiser
The wide base of the cast-iron Holiday Braiser allows meats and fish to be placed in a single layer for proper searing. And once liquid is added, the domed lid continuously circulates steam that locks in moisture and flavor. But act quickly because this item is going fast.
