There are few home items seen not only as luxurious centerpieces but also as durable, hard-working staples. Among them: the Le Creuset Dutch Oven. Many cookware enthusiasts swear by the quality, but the look can't go overlooked either—especially when it comes to the wide range of color collections. The newest, just released for fall, is definitely worthy of taking a front-and-center spot in your kitchen.
The color is a cozy, warm hue inspired by the beloved herb it's named after: thyme.
“Thyme’s sophisticated gray-green shade is earthy, yet modern—as versatile as its namesake herb," reads a post from the brand about the launch. "Introduce it as a deep, stylish neutral or draw out its notes of verdant green by playing with bolder color pairings."
With the notion of bringing the garden to the table, the color especially suits those who take pride in growing their own herbs. But if you prefer to buy yours dried in a jar (no shame!) it pairs quite nicely with your spice rack.
LE CREUSET
It may be difficult to limit yourself to just one (or two) of the 15 pieces that come in the cozy green: Choose from the classic Dutch oven, sauté pan, saucepan, skillet, baking dish set, braiser, heritage pie dish, and much more. It even comes in a festive Pumpkin Cocotte, thematically perfect for all your fall recipes. Each one has that classic Le Creuset look, with an ombre up the piece from dark to light.
Starting at $55 (the Heritage Square Dish) and going up to $462 (the Signature Chef’s Oven), a Le Creuset piece is undeniably a bit of a splurge. Thankfully, it's one that provides you with a long-lasting item you can pass down for generations. Plus, they're not just trendy—you don't have to worry about the classic look going out of style.
The Le Creuset Skillet was our top pick for a splurge-worthy cast iron skillet. And it’s not just their Dutch ovens and skillets that should be celebrated: The Braiser and Heritage Rectangular Casserole dish are the other essentials to invest in if you're passionate about cooking. The brand recommends pairing it with their Rhone and Meringue collections, a deep plum and soft ivory, respectively.
Whether you're an avid home chef or a professional, adding color to your kitchen never fails to make the space feel more like you—allowing you to open up and tap into your creative side whenever you cook. You can shop the collection now on lecreuset.com.
