Design Porn: Teal Le Creuset

Now that I'm moving house, I've decided I'm in need of some new pans for my new kitchen. Is that too grown up? Don't worry, I also want a juke box. I don't really get excited about pots and pans - they're obviously very handy for whipping up dinner, but they don't often wow in the design stakes.

Le Creuset does, though. Always. I like these teal pans so much. Once you've bought Le Creuset, you're pretty set in the kitchen department. They're cast iron, not just coated with a non-stick coating - it lasts. The handles are cast iron so you can put them in the oven and under the grill.

More importantly, they're TEAL. The loveliest colour for any kitchenware. I couldn't ever recommend Le Creuset if it didn't last - the pans start at £60 at House of Fraser - but they're an investment. A lovely, teal investment that will always make an excellent omelette.

  1. Gorgeous. I'm trying to build up a collection of teal Le Creuset with birthday and Christmas presents - so far I've got a small rectangular dish, a large rectangular dish and a square dish, and for my birthday last year I got an AMAZING shallow casserole dish thing that's fantastic for risotto. I'm in love with it.

    1. I wish the colours went well together - you can't really buy half red and half blue as the shades are different.

  2. For those on a tighter budget, the Le Creuset store in Swindons Outlet Village is amazing! Almost perfect goods at less than half the normal price. Mine are all in slate grey :-)

  3. I find them all too heavy when empty and doubly so when full, must be my weak wrists!!

    1. Maybe go for the little ones, or the casserole dishes with two handles?

  8. Beware Le Creuset pans - they're heavy enough empty but once they are filled they can be unmoveable.

    They look great but if you are a cook and plan on using them, rather than displaying them, then they are impractical ime
