Le Creuset's New Color for Spring 2024 Is Perfect for Any Kitchen

Whenever Le Creuset drops a new color, our team gets excited. You can’t splash ingredient-inspired colors on top-notch cookware and expect us, the food-lovers, to not want to add it to our carts instantaneously. Le Creuset’s newest color launch, brioche, is no different. 

This brand new shade has a soft, light, slightly warm creamy hue that resembles the unbaked enriched dough. While it doesn’t have the golden hue of the final-baked product, it’s a nice  neutral color that’ll pretty much suit any kitchen (which somewhat fills the neutral-colored void of nutmeg). It has a smooth almost matte finish, and each piece with a lid is fitted with a shiny silver knob to top them off. Shop all of the brand's best pieces now, from Dutch ovens to the new everyday pan, in the brand new shade. Prices start at $45.

Signature Round Dutch Oven

There’s no better place to start than with the brand’s signature Dutch oven. It’s a piece that’s been in my family for 20 years, and it’s consistently ranked as one of our favorite Dutch ovens on the market after countless tests. It has the same cast iron base with the smooth enameled interior. The exterior is splashed with the brioche shade, with a silver knob. You’ll get the same heat retention and even cook that we know and love, and  it is available in two sizes in the shade — 5.5- and 7.25-quarts. 

Heritage 9-Inch Pie Dish

This pie dish is as classic as it gets. Made with a highly durable, heat-holding stoneware, it's the ideal material for browning your crusts just the right amount. The edges have a lightly scalloped design to add a little design flair, and its 9-inch diameter will work with most pies. This brioche color is a great option for a pie dish, since it's neutral enough to let your baked goods shine. 

Signature Everyday Pan

Commerce Writer Elisabeth Sherman was blown away by this everyday pan from the brand. It launched in October of last year, and was designed to be a cookware piece you’ll grab for everything on a daily basis, hence the name. Sherman noted that the cast iron interior and enameled exterior helped heat and cook her dishes well. Not only that, but the wide 11-inch surface area offered a lot of space for searing and nestling (for braising). Since you’ll likely reach for the pan often, you might as well leave it on your stovetop. This brand new shade is just the ticket for a color that’ll match any kitchen. 

3.5-Quart Braiser

This 3.5-quart braising dish is a true multi-tasker. It’s essentially a deep, round skillet (it has an 11.75 inch diameter and its 5.25-inches tall with its lid), which makes it ideal for dishes that have a little more volume. You’ll have plenty of surface area to sear ingredients, like cuts of protein or vegetables, and the tight fitting lid helps lock moisture in if you need to bake it. Use it to braise chicken thighs or cabbage, to layer casseroles, or even to toss together pasta dishes. 

Bread Oven

You can’t overlook the bread oven for a bread-inspired color launch. This option from Le Creuset is designed with a flat fast iron base that has slightly raised walls to keep the dough in place. The domed lid helps tightly seal the bread oven, and helps ensure steam is getting circulated throughout the baking process. Use it to make a batch of brioche rolls or hearty boules — it's perfect for this time of year, and is on my own wishlist, to be honest. 

6.75-Quart Oval Dutch Oven

This oval Dutch oven is a great option if you’re looking for a little added volume with a unique shape. It’s ideal for larger cuts of protein, like poultry or racks of meat, since it has a longer shape that will fit them more evenly. It has the same design as the regular cast iron Dutch oven, and is safe to use on any stovetop and is oven safe up to 500℉. With the neutral color and its durability, it’ll last for decades to come. 

10.25-Inch Signature Skillet

This skillet is another favorite of ours, and another kitchen essential. Everyone needs a cast iron pan like this, since it sears, browns, and bakes foods incredibly well. We ranked this as our favorite enameled cast iron pan on the market. It has a classic design that held up no matter how we tested it, whether we were sweating onions or baking cornbread. It has a heavier weight, which we found helped it maintain its heat more evenly. Its enameled interior also seared incredibly well. We love the pour spouts on this pan too, since they help drain liquid and fat without causing a mess. It's the perfect piece to grab if you want a reliable option from the new color collection.
