One of the Best Le Creuset Colors Is Retiring for Good

I’m extremely picky with colors. Among the (short) list of ones I like are rich red and purple tones—they call to mind my childhood desire to perpetually live in the Twilight universe. The second I saw the Le Creuset color Rhône, it spoke to both my middle school and adult self, who prefers hues that make an impact in my space. No white cookware items for me! You can imagine how crushing it was when I found out that this stunning holiday cranberry red was going to be retired for good. Why would you do this to me, Le Creuset? 

Another gut punch was seeing that the collection is selling out faster than I can blink. Luckily, there are select finds left for us to take advantage of. Unfortunately, these items won’t come back from the dead like Bella Swan, so shop the best remaining finds in Rhône red before it’s too late. Many pieces have already sold out!

Le Creuset Rhône Retirement

Vancouver Mug

This mug is an easy way to bring holiday cheer into your kitchen. The exterior is lacquered red, while the interior has a light-colored finish for a contrasting look. It’s made from durable stoneware that can withstand the heat of your oven, so you can keep your mugs nice and warm before you fill them with hot chocolate. 

Heritage Rectangular Casserole 

This gorgeous baking dish may just take away from the main on your holiday table. It’s measures a standard 9 x 13 inches and has nice and deep 3-inch walls so you can stuff it (Thanksgiving pun intended) with layers of lasagna, ziti and more. The included lid makes this even more versatile, plus it really shows off the gorgeous red.

Enameled Cast-Iron Signature Trivet

Adding a simple pop of red is easy with this trivet. It’ll fit right in with your holiday decor. Set it on your holiday table to safely serve warm baking dishes and pans. Crafted from enameled cast-iron, it’s strong enough to hold the heaviest cookware you have and protects your countertops. 

Heritage Square Dish

Stoneware is the material you’ll want to pick for its control—it doesn’t get as scorching hot as materials like cast-iron. Because of that, square dishes like this are excellent for baked goods like cobblers, brownies and cinnamon rolls, where you want to ensure things bake at the right rates. You can also reach for it for baked oats for breakfast and plenty of sides for holiday dinners. 

Heritage Loaf Pan

Your banana breads, pumpkin breads and other festive quick breads will be the centerpiece of your table if baked in this dish. Might I suggest a cranberry-studded pound cake to match the Rhône red coating? The dish is 9.1 x 6.7 x 2.8 inches, so it’s going to work for many different recipes.Two side handles make for seamless maneuvering during baking, serving and transporting.
