Le Creuset is celebrating its 100 years in the industry with the launch of the Modern Heritage collection, a dazzling and state-of-the-art line of cast iron cookware. The new collection celebrates the timeless design and durability that have remained supreme with a modern feel. It includes three new pieces – Modern Heritage 5-Quart Round Dutch Oven, Modern Heritage 3.25-Quart Round Braiser, and Modern Heritage 1.75-Quart Oval Gratin – giving a contemporary twist to some of the brand’s classic pieces.
Each piece in the Modern Heritage Cookware collection combines the core design elements with fresh makeovers. For example, lifted and crimped side handles take the place of straight handles, dome-shaped stainless steel handles replace flat knob handles, and rounded edges are now softer and wavier.
All the new pieces in the collection are available in seven eye-catching colors, including cerise, flame, artichaut, sea salt, oyster, brioche, and matte white. Let’s explore Le Creuset Modern Heritage Cookware collection below.
Modern Heritage Round Dutch Oven
Giving a modern twist to the classic round Dutch oven, the Modern Heritage version is just as competent in the kitchen as the classic one. With a 5-quart capacity, it is ideal for big meal prep. Crafted from enameled cast iron, this new round Dutch oven has a smoother and raised lid with a curved stainless steel handle. Meanwhile, its side handles are wrinkled and upturned, facilitating a better grip. It’s a perfect cookware for preparing stews, sauces, roasting meats, and baking sourdough. You can get it for $420.
Modern Heritage Round Braiser
The Modern Heritage round braiser is another versatile cookware from the collection. It has 3.25 quarts of capacity and comes in handy for searing steak, steaming fish, cooking veggies, and shallow-frying chicken cutlets, doughnuts, and more. This round braiser has a wider base and shorter sides. On top of this, its scalloped and raised side handles are useful when moving the pot from the cooktop to the oven. It is priced at $380.
Modern Heritage Oval Gratin Baker
This Modern Heritage oval gratin baker flaunts curvier and smoother edges along with upturned side handles. Offering 1.75 quarts of capacity, it is designed for whipping pies, fruit cobblers, casseroles, and roasting meat. The shallow edges allow heat to circulate for the finest browning and crisping. You can buy it for $160.
