Le Creuset has been around for a long time — 100 years in fact. And with a reputation for high-quality cast-iron cookware that quite ‘possibly’ surpasses all other cookware brands, it has good reason to celebrate.
Longevity is Le Creuset’s second name, which is why it’s fitting for the iconic brand to commemorate its centenary with the launch of a new colorway that looks to the past.
You’re bound to find the new color familiar as its reminiscence of Flame — the first color introduced by Le Creuset back in 1925. But, what’s extra special about the limited edition color Flamme Dorée is that it has a celebratory shimmer, befitting its translation Golden Flame.
Celebrating a golden age of Le Creuset
So, although Flamme Dorée is reminiscent of Le Creuset’s beginnings, the brand knows it can’t sit on its laurels, and has embraced the future with added sparkle.
I don’t go as far back as Le Creuset, but I have clocked half a century, and I vividly recall the original color Flame from my childhood, when I spent time in a neighbor’s kitchen watching her cook using a classic orange Le Creuset Dutch Oven.
But this time around, it’s got added sparkle, thanks to a third layer of enamel that adds the shimmering sheen to the finish. The cookware also features a crucible knob designed to depict the brand’s three iconic rings.
Limited edition featuring 4 designs
The exciting new Flamme Dorée collection features four products in a range of sizes starting from $309, and is now available at Le Creuset and other online retailers. You could start with the Signature Round Saucepan, which has a 2.25 quart capacity and is available at Amazon for $309. Or, how about one of my favorites, the 3.5-quart Signature Braiser, at Amazon for $425.
If you’re looking for a deeper pot, why not try the Signature Round Dutch Oven starting from $450 at Amazon for the 4.5-quart version? But if you’re catering for a whole gang, the Signature Oval Dutch Oven, from $514 at Amazon for the smallest 6.75-quart size, might be your best option.
Whatever your preference, we can see Le Creuset being around for a long time yet, and they’ll never disappoint with what they offer the consumer.
