The Kitchn team loves a good grilled meal during the summer, but firmly believes that all that flavorful goodness can (and should!) be enjoyed all year long — you just need the right tools for the job. Their latest must-have? Le Creuset’s new square grill pan, which is currently on sale for $100 (normally $155). Yep — we’re talking about that Le Creuset; the customer-favorite brand that lasts for decades and comes in a zillion gorgeous colors.
So, do you really need this grill pan? One thousand times yes. Like all of Le Creuset’s items, the 9.5-inch grill pan is made from high-grade cast iron, with edges and handles that are enameled. It also comes in a huge range of colors — we’re not telling you how to live your life, but Nectar serves up some serious “goes with every season” decor vibes. The pan’s square shape means it fits perfectly onto a single burner, so you can keep your sauces and side dishes rocking while you grill the main event. And like all Le Creuset items, it comes with a lifetime warranty — but we doubt you’ll need it. This pan is virtually indestructible; it’s safe for use on electric, gas, ceramic, induction, and halogen cooktops, and is even oven- and dishwasher-safe.
The secret to the pan’s flawless execution lies in its cast iron technology. Unlike flimsier materials, cast iron retains heat so the surface temperature won’t plummet when you add food to the pan. And, since Le Creuset pieces are so well-made, there are also no “hot spots” in the pan. In other words: You don’t have to play Tetris as you grill, moving food around to ensure it cooks evenly.

Like everyone who values great cookware, Kitchn is a big fan of Le Creuset. In fact, they’re the first to jump at the opportunity to save whenever the brand’s iconic enameled cast iron pieces go on sale (and share the details with our readers, too!). And if the high price tag has deterred you from starting your own colorful collection, here’s your chance to bring home a pop of Le Creuset beauty for a downright bargain. Right now for a limited time only, you can pick up the brand’s Enameled Steel Demi Tea Kettle, which normally sells for $75, for almost $20 off at Williams Sonoma.
The elegant enameled cast iron body of the kettle is available in Le Creuset’s classic color palette, including Red, Flame, and Marseille blue, but the sale also features a few of the brand’s newer colorways. (You may recall, we’re big fans of the gorgeous Artichaut and Agave tones.) Measuring just 6.25 inches in diameter, the kettle’s petite, glossy body is smaller than most standard kettles, so it’s ideal for keeping your stovetop uncluttered, even if you have a narrow range. And it can still accommodate several servings at once. As one happy reviewer shares, “I wanted a tea kettle to make a few mugs of tea at a time and that is what this does.” Another plus? A smaller kettle takes less time to boil than larger versions.
The lid of the kettle fits tightly to prevent steam from escaping, and the spout has a hinging cover that whistles when the water boils (leave the cover open if you’d rather a silent boil). It’s compatible with all cooktops, including induction, which was a big selling point for one customer who shared, “It is hard to find the perfect tea kettle that is induction compatible,” adding, “so pleased with this purchase!”
Whether you’re a pour-over coffee, instant oatmeal, tea, or to-go soup fan, a kettle is a must-have for having hot water on demand. And getting it in the form of a piece of premium French cookware for a serious steal? That’s a win-win!

A summer road trip is the most classic of all American vacations — and for good reason. Whether you’re driving 100 miles or 1,000, nothing is better than hopping in the car in the summer, rolling down the windows, putting on the radio, and setting out on an adventure. And thanks to Le Creuset, now the journey can come to you in the form of the delightful new limited-edition Destination Mug collection.
Perfect for summer in every way, each of the eight mugs in the collection pays homage to a different locale, with symbols that are a nod to the destination. Le Creuset’s signature three rings add a nice detail, plus these pieces are protected by a vibrant glaze that makes them easy to clean, dishwasher safe, and resistant to chips, scratches, and stains. Crafted from top-notch stoneware to keep whatever’s inside warm or cold, the picture-perfect mugs are ideal for everything from coffee and tea to soup and ice cream.
The Le Creuset Destination Mug collection will remind you of the best of these iconic spots without ever having to leave your zip code. Get one, buy them all, or snag a gift or two for someone special. Check out the full line below.

Any home cook worth their, ahem, salt knows that a little bit of spice can take a meal from meh to mind-blowing — and not just when it comes to what’s inside. Eye-catching cookware adds a dash of visual flavor to your dish, enticing you (and your guests) to dig in long before the food nears your taste buds. Le Creuset has mastered the art of crafting beautiful cooking vessels better than any other brand in the world, and this summer, they’ve done it again. Allow me to introduce the latest irresistible addition to the Le Creuset lineup: Cayenne.
Throughout its nearly 100-year history, Le Creuset has consistently released color after stunning color of enameled cast iron pans, stoneware baking dishes, and other high-quality cookware. The new hue is a warm red that’s a perfect complement to Le Creuset’s wide array of options. Pair it with Flame or Cerise to create an ombre tablescape, or contrast Cayenne against neutrals like Meringue and Stone for a more defined look. Whether you’re in the market for a signature Dutch oven, a skinny grill pan, a casserole dish, or more, Cayenne is ready to liven up your every meal.
What makes Le Creuset cookware so special? Their enameled cast iron evenly distributes and retains heat beautifully, and the stoneware baking dishes stand up to chips and scratches and even resist thermal shock. Put simply, the famed French company produces extremely high-quality pieces that will last pretty much forever.
And it gets even better. Right now, orders over $99 qualify for free shipping, and purchases of $250 or more come with a complimentary Petite Salt & Pepper Mill Set; just enter code SPICE at checkout to score your free gift. The set is available in White, Flame, Marseille, Cerise, and Oyster, so if you have your heart set on a specific color, place your order ASAP while it’s still available. But the truth is, set next to Cayenne, they’ll all look spectacular.

With the holiday weekend upon us, summer entertaining has kicked into high gear. Whether you enjoy long, lazy lunches with a few friends or a family backyard barbecue, reliable serveware is key. You need something durable and versatile — and heck, pretty would sure be nice, too. And that’s where Le Creuset’s Everyday Enamelware Serving Bowl Set comes in. It answers all those needs, plus it’s on sale. This three-piece set, normally $60, is only $48 right now.
Made of carbon steel with a porcelain enamel finish, these serving bowls are extremely durable for indoor and outdoor entertaining. They are lightweight, so even your kids won’t struggle to lug grandma’s potato salad out to the patio. The finish also makes them resistant to stains, chips, scratches, and rust, which means they can hold a bunch of juicy strawberries and also stand up to your metal serving utensils. All they need is a warm, soapy bath in the sink to clean, and they will last for years.
The bowls are freezer friendly if you need to chill something fast or prep ahead, and they are stackable for easy storage. The largest (5.25 quarts) bowl just begs for a double batch of pasta salad, while the medium 3-quart and smaller 1.5-quart versions are perfect for any standard-sized side dish. Oh, and the carbon steel core also keeps hot dishes hot and cold dishes cold for longer, something that old plastic mixing bowl certainly can’t do. And since they are all spacious enough to prep in, that means you mix and serve in the same bowls and impress your guests with their stunning striped exterior. See I told you — durable, versatile, and pretty.
And these lovely bowls are just the beginning of the savings you can score at Le Creuset this weekend. The sale includes lots of items from the Everyday collection, and if you spend $200 or more, you get a free gift! But first things first: Add these to your cart, and entertain like the host you were born to be.
