A mug cupboard filled with Le Creuset Stoneware Mugs is the stuff of our dreams. Tea drinker or coffee lover, enjoying your morning drink in one of these will keep your beverage hot for longer, and, they are nice to look at.
'I've been building up my collection of Le Creuset stoneware mugs since buying my first home. Each one, in its different hue, scrubs up well by hand and in the dishwasher with no tea or coffee stains ever-present. They're also resistant to chips (so far) and just feel really nice to hold, with a good weight to them.' – Jennifer Ebert, H&G Digital Editor
It should come as no surprise that the Le Creuset Casserole Dish is on our list. We often spot it in friends' kitchens – and for good reason, too. Use it on your hob, in your oven, and then pop it on your table for serving up.
'This is the perfect size for cooking a casserole, soup, or stew for two (hungry) people, or for when I want to make a big portion to freeze. I love that I can take it from hob to oven to table and with the lid, it retains heat well – perfect if you are always going back for seconds.' – Lindsey Davis, H&G Ecommerce Editor.
We like to picture the Le Creuset Traditional Kettle atop an AGA stove. Not only does this kettle get five stars in the looks department, but feature-wise it's induction-compatible, it heats up fast and it has a heat-resistant handle. How to know when your water is hot enough? It'll whistle!
'I love the stove top kettle, which I have in the classic orange. It's really sturdy and durable so it's lasted for years and years, and it looks fabulous.' – Lucy Searle, H&G's Global Editor-in-Chief
