In this article: Le Creuset Peach Mini Cocotte, Le Creuset Blueberry Mini Cocotte and Le Creuset Strawberry Mini Cocotte
Some of these pieces aren't new, but they're Le Creuset standbys that are great for summer entertaining, like serving dishes and drink pitchers. They'll help round out your tablescape and make it the perfect place to gather family and friends this season.
This peach-shaped mini cocotte comes as a two-piece stoneware set, and has a scratch-resistant, nonporous glaze that is safe for the oven, microwave and dishwasher. Plus, it looks just like something you'd find at the farmer's market.
Le Creuset Blueberry Mini Cocotte
For blueberry cobblers, dips or tiny baked sides, this 16-ounce cocotte is made from Azure stoneware with a nonstick glazed surface that resists stains and doesn't absorb flavors. It's also oven-safe up to 500 degrees.
Le Creuset Strawberry Mini Cocotte
The Strawberry Mini Cocotte would look at home at a picnic or on your patio table. Its Cerise stoneware body holds 19 ounces, includes a lid, and is safe in the oven, microwave and dishwasher.
Hot dogs, corn on the cob, banana splits and sub sandwiches all fit the Bistro Boat’s long, shallow shape. It's made from stoneware with a nonporous, scratch-resistant glaze, and it's safe for the oven, broiler, microwave and dishwasher.
Le Creuset Signature Oval Chip & Dip Platter
This 13-inch platter gives snacks a little more structure, with a center bowl for dips, garnishes or spreads. Its glaze resists chips, scratches, stains, cracking and crazing. Plus, the center is the perfect size to cradle a Mini Cocotte.
Le Creuset Alpine Outdoor Collection Pizza Pan
This 15-inch enameled-cast-iron pan is designed for open-flame cooking. Its matte black enamel needs no seasoning, and its oversized handles work with bulky grill gloves or oven mitts. It also has a low profile that easily fits under grill hoods.
Le Creuset Outdoor Slotted Turner
Le Creuset’s Outdoor Slotted Turner is more than a spatula with a nice handle. This 17.7-inch stainless steel tool has wide slots for draining grease, side ridges for cleaning grill grates, a looped handle for hanging and a built-in bottle opener, making it a useful multitool for outdoor entertaining.
The Signature Pitcher can be used for drinks or flowers. Made from premium stoneware, it can serve hot or cold liquids, and it has a dishwasher-safe glaze that resists chips, scratches and stains.
For charcuterie, appetizers or oven-to-table mains, the Serving Platter has ridged edges that slope upward to help contain food. It comes in 14-inch and 16.25-inch sizes, with wide cut-in handles that make it easy to carry.
