Le Creuset Is Retiring This Color, and You Can Get It on Sale

Le Creuset is known for its heirloom-quality kitchen items, including some of the best Dutch ovens and tea kettles we’ve tested. However, we’ve just heard news that one of its colors (a favorite of ours) is being discontinued, and we’re heartbroken.

We’re sad to divulge that Caribbean, a stunning, ocean-like blue, will soon be retired and unavailable for purchase. Whether you need more pieces of cookware for your matching Caribbean collection or want to pick up your first while there’s still time, Le Creuset slashed up to 41% off Dutch ovens, baking dishes, mugs, and more in the soon-to-be-gone shade. You really don’t want to wait — some pieces, like the 1.75-quart saucepan, have already sold out. The nine best Le Creuset sale finds in Caribbean start at $19, and now’s your last chance to get them.

5.5-Quart Signature Round Dutch Oven

The 5.5-quart signature round Dutch oven is a smaller version of our favorite 7.25-quart model, but it has all the same features. We found this Dutch oven to be durable and versatile, and our editors appreciated the larger, rounded handles that are comfortable to grip. This Dutch oven is perfect for simmering soups and stews, braising and roasting meats, and baking bread. It has the brand’s signature light-colored nonstick interior that was easy to clean during testing,  and the dimpled lid that keeps moisture in and food tender and tasty. Snag it for $84 off.

6.75-Quart Signature Oval Dutch Oven

If you’re cooking a whole chicken or baking oblong loaves of bread, the 6.75-quart signature oval Dutch oven is a better option. It offers all the same functionality and features as the round Dutch oven; it’s just a different shape. With this size, you can feed up to seven people or have leftovers for later. Go ahead, treat yourself while it’s on sale for 20% off. 

Classic Whistling Kettle

Le Creuset’s classic whistling tea kettle aced our tests, boiling water in less than five minutes. Its large handle is comfortable to grip and conveniently folds down for easy storage. Plus, the kettle’s whistle lets you know when the water is ready for your tea or other favorite hot beverage. It’s currently marked down by 35%. 

2.25-Quart Signature Saucepan

Whether making side dishes or stirring creamy sauces, the 2.25-quart saucepan is the perfect size. The light interior lets you easily observe ingredients’ progress while they’re cooking. Plus, the tight-fitting lid, which is accented with a stainless steel knob, keeps moisture in, while a helper handle makes it easy to maneuver or carry. One shopper uses it for “everything from cooking vegetables to boiling eggs to making yogurt.” Don’t wait too long, though: The 1.75-quart saucepan is already sold out in Caribbean.

Signature Everyday Pan

You’ll reach for the shopper- and editor-loved Le Creuset’s signature everyday pan again and again. With its 3-quart capacity and wide surface, cooking one-dish meals and braising chicken is a breeze. One of our editors who owns this pan shared, “It has produced juicy, tender, evenly cooked meat every time I’ve cooked with it.” You’re sure to find many uses for this pan in your kitchen, too. 

Signature Round Braiser with Glass Lid

Whether braising chicken thighs, making skillet meals, or baking cornbread, this piece can do it all. The braiser has a tempered glass lid, a light interior, and a 2.25-quart capacity. Shoppers call it their “go-to pan” and declare it “an amazing addition to their collection.” At 41% off, it’s a no-brainer to snag this pan in Caribbean.

Signature Oval Baker

Le Creuset’s signature oval baker is just waiting to be filled with comforting casseroles, cheesy au gratin potatoes, or baked salmon. Like other cookware by the brand, it offers consistent, even heat capability and plenty of durability. It has two wide looped handles for easy lifting and carrying, and can be used on any stovetop and in the oven up to 500°F. It’s also dishwasher-safe, making for easy cleanup.

Vancouver Mug

This bestselling stoneware mug will hold 14 ounces of your favorite drink, whether it’s coffee, tea, or juice. It’s even good for sipping soups or making a mug cake. The wide looped handle is comfortable to hold in small or large hands, and shoppers say it “has the perfect lip on top for sipping.” Its glazed finish is stain- and chip-resistant, so you can enjoy the vibrant blue color long after Caribbean is retired. At $19 apiece, you just might want to grab a pair.

Heritage 3-Piece Rectangular Baking Dish Set

This baking dish set has every piece you need to make a side dish, a loaf of quick bread, a casserole, or a dessert. The 12-inch, 10-inch, and 7.5-inch dishes are made from stain- and chip-resistant glazed stoneware, which can handle up to 500°F. The dishes have a light,  nonstick interior and Le Creuset’s renowned scalloped handles as a finishing touch.
