Traditional Wok with Glass Lid

A wok is at the heart of many meals, especially during Chinese Lunar New Year. It’s perfect for making dishes like chang shou mian (also known as longevity noodles), chow dau miu (stir-fry pea shoots), and you can also use it to fry dishes like spring rolls, too. This wok is perfect for the job. It's made with Le Creuset’s cast iron, which heats similarly to carbon steel. It comes with a special enameled coating that maintains a smooth, even texture that’ll develop a patina as you keep using it, making it even better overtime. It has the tapered shape woks need to have, with a 14-inch diameter providing enough space to sear, saute, fry, and steam. There are two helper handles on either side of the base, plus it comes with a glass lid. You can use it with any cooktop, too. 

Wok Dish

This wok-inspired dish is a fun way to serve up dishes like noodles, soups, rice bowls, and more. It has a durable yet smooth surface with a stoneware base that keeps it fully oven- and broiler-safe up to 500°F. Each dish is approximately 8 inches wide (10 with the handles) by 2 inches tall, giving you plenty of space for whatever you pop in. They’re also dishwasher- and microwave-safe for fuss free using and cleaning. The colors are selling fast, though you can still shop it in the white shade right now. 

Noodle Bowl

To enjoy noodles, you need the perfect bowl. This option from Le Creuset was designed with deeper walls to hold in any sauce, noodles, and vegetables you add in. They’re also made with the brands stoneware, so they’re microwave-, oven-, broiler-, and dishwasher-safe. Each bowl is around 7 by 3 inches, and they stack together easily. With a discount, now’s the perfect time to grab a few to have on hand. 

Traditional Heart Cocotte

When you’re making Valentine’s dinner this year (for a loved one, or also just simply for yourself), why not whip it up in this heart-shaped cocotte? It works just like the brand’s classic Dutch ovens, since it’s made with all the same materials. The cast iron base will heat soups, sauces, and stews evenly as you cook them, while the enamel coating will keep everything from sticking. It has a 2-quart capacity, so it really is the perfect size to serve one or two people. Shop it in cerise red, sea salt blue, white, shell pink, or coastal blue right now. 

Traditional Shallow Heart Cocotte

This shallow cocotte is similar to the traditional one, just with shorter walls. The adjusted height makes it the ideal dish for braises and casseroles, since you have just the right amount of surface area and height to sear, simmer, and bake ingredients. It’s 1.25-quarts in size, making it perfect for sides like mac and cheese or roasted green beans. It also works well for baking desserts like crumbles or if you’re feeling fancy, a heart-shaped pie. 

Heart Skillet

This skillet is another way to add a heart-shaped piece of cookware into your collection. It has a cast iron interior, so it’ll sear and bake everything the way you’d expect with a skillet. But, the signature enameled coating will mean you’ll deal with less sticking and maintenance over time. It’s 10.5 inches wide at its longest point and 2 inches tall, so you can fit quite a range of things inside, from scrambled eggs for breakfast to baked brownies for dessert. Like all of Le Creuset’s enameled cast iron, it’s oven-safe up to 500°F and works on any stovetop. 

Classic Whistling Kettle with Light Gold Heart Knob

Morning tea and coffee (or let’s be honest — late night instant ramen) just got a whole lot cuter thanks to this themed kettle. The classic design features a stout base with a straight pouring spout and a lid with a chic gold heart-shaped knob. The kettle sports an ombre pink design on the outside for that extra design touch, and nearly all of the details are finished in gold with the addition of a few contrasting matte black pieces. It’s made with carbon steel to heat water fast (and hold the heat), with a whistling design to let you know when it's done. Since the lid comes off, it’s easier to clean the nearly 2-quart interior overtime. It’s the perfect little gift to give yourself or a loved one this year. 

Mini Cocotte with Gold Heart Knob

As if the mini cocottes weren’t already adorable, the addition of the gold heart knob made it all-the-more sweeter. These hallmark pieces from Le Creuset are ideal for individual dishes like cobblers, pot pies, creme brulee, a personal cinnamon roll, and a whole lot more. You could even use it as a countertop salt cellar or as a way to store individual wrapped candies. They’re microwave-, oven- and broiler-safe up to 500°F, and are dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning as well. Shop it in three shades now for $32. 

Heart Serving Plate

When you’re finally ready to sit down and eat dinner, or maybe set out a plate full of sweets, these heart-shaped ones are just the ticket. Le Creuset has fully sold out in the pink shade, though you can still pick up the cerise red for your tablescape or counter. They’re 8-inches at their widest point, so they’re most ideal for serving appetizers, desserts, sides, and smaller mains. The heart-shaped rim keeps everything tucked inside and because of the stoneware material, they’re safe to use in the microwave, oven, broiler, and dishwasher. 

Heart 2-Piece Mugs with Saucers Set

After you’ve brewed your tea or coffee in the valentines kettle, serve them in these stoneware heart-shaped mugs. It comes with a set of two (fittingly) and has an accompanying saucer that mirrors the shape of the mug. It comes in cerise red, chiffon pink, or white depending on the look you prefer. You could also grab two shades for a full four-piece mix and match set.
