Why Chrissy Teigen’s Perfect Pan in Soft Purple Is the Only Kitchen Upgrade You’ll Actually Use – and It’s Actually Affordable
Chrissy's bestselling Dutch oven now comes in a smoky, light purple, which looks fantastic as decor, as well as functioning as a steamer and frying pan


As someone whose favorite color is purple, there are surprisingly few furnishings and accessories in my home that match my preferred hue. You can imagine my excitement, then, when I found out Chrissy Teigen's latest kitchenware drop comes in a cloudy mauve.
The cooking aficionado just announced that the latest version of her all-star Perfect Pan from Cravings is a light purple, and let's just say I'm obsessed.
The soft hue makes it the perfect piece of decor for a cool-toned kitchen (it would look particularly amazing on a white, marble countertop) or a dark, contemporary kitchen for a moodier vibe. Either way, it's giving us some purple kitchen ideas.
