8 Early Le Creuset Memorial Day Weekend Deals to Shop

Having an impressive collection of gear from legendary French cookware brand Le Creuset is a goal for many, from home cooks to seasoned pros. But the high price tag can be a deterrent for those looking to score some of its stellar pieces on a budget. Luckily, finding some of Le Creuset’s most epic Dutch ovens, grill pans, braisers, and cocottes on sale is not as hard as it might sound, especially since I’ve humbly scoured Amazon’s early Memorial Day sales to find a few marvelous deals. Prepare to downgrade getting a day off from work into only the second best part of your upcoming holiday weekend. 

The Best Le Creuset Deals at Amazon 

Enameled Cast Iron Round 5.5-Quart Dutch Oven

An excellent Dutch oven is the cornerstone of any great kitchen, and Le Creuset’s is one of the best. Its enamel is crack- and chip-resistant, and will make sure your food doesn’t stick, while still achieving that perfect sear or sauté you crave. Whether your go-to is gumbo, coq au vin, or stir-fry, you should probably upgrade your game while this oven is 33% off.

Stoneware Heritage Set of 3 Rectangular Dishes

I don’t know anybody that would turn their nose up at a banging mac and cheese or a stunning tray of cinnamon rolls, but when they’re cooked and served in a Le Creuset stoneware dish, there’s little doubt that it’s going to be a serious experience. These dishes feature great heat retention and distribution, meaning your casseroles, enchiladas, and roasted vegetables are going to be cooked perfectly every single time. The artichaut (think: artichoke but French) colorway of this set is beyond eye-catching – and, like the other five color options, it’s 31% off for a limited time.

Enameled Cast Iron 7.5-Quart Chef’s Oven

In a rare turn for Le Creuset, this chef’s oven has a glass lid. Why? Because Le Creuset knows you cannot wait to admire the masterpieces you’ll be crafting in this colorful and canny piece of equipment, which happens to be about $140 off right now. But a Dutch oven clone, this is not – the chef’s oven features sloped sides for ergonomic stirring and circulation, as well as a small hole in the lid so steam can escape.

Slotted Spoon

To paraphrase The Matrix, there are no other spoons after you try this masterpiece of spoon architecture. Between its contoured handle with grip rings, dual-material design, and flexible tip that lets you really get into the edges of your pots and pans, this is a must have. Whether you’re making braised meatballs, a rich pasta dish, or a hearty stew, this slotted spoon is going to offer a fairly large scooping capacity while still allowing liquid and sauce to drain out the bottom. It’s also dishwasher-safe.

Stoneware Set of 4 Mini Cocottes

Le Creuset’s mini cocotte is the ideal vessel for soufflés, crumbles, sundaes, single-serve brownies, and way, way more. Four pieces come in this set, which is great when you want to serve individual dishes to a small group; and at 8 ounces, they’re the perfect composition for a small dessert or dip where you don’t want a ton of extra space. They’re also just very cute – see how long you can put a cocotte full of dip or nuts out for guests before someone tells you how much they love it. Incredibly, the artichaut set is a pretty nice 27% off, while the Cerise and Caribbean sets clock in at only $90.

Enameled Cast Iron Signature 3.5-Quart Braiser

There’s very little you can’t do in this world-class braiser. Take it from this Amazon customer, who wrote, “Its 5-quart capacity is versatile: You can cook for a few or many. You can fry, braise, stew, brown, sear, roast, bake, cook rice, and make soup in it.” Not bad, considering this piece is over $100 off right now. Braisers, in short, are great because they’re shallow enough to ensure maximum exposure to heat (or your serving utensils) when the lid is off, but still wide enough to contain plenty of food. The low height – 5.25 inches – also makes this a showstopper of a serving dish. 

Pepper Mill

Sure, having an awesome collection of Le Creuset cookware is great, but real supporters’ passion for the brand doesn’t end when they leave the kitchen. If you truly want to flex on your guests with some excellent Le Creuset gear (or just add a timeless accessory to your own dining experience), bless your table with this pepper mill. This piece is especially great because you can adjust the grind size of the pepper, but the gauge is hidden from plain view (spoiler alert: it’s inside the bottom). Best of all, it’s only $36 right now.

Enameled Cast Iron Signature Skillet Grill

Hot dog gang, rise up. There are so many things you can do with this skillet, but my preferred use is grilling dogs and vegetables indoors – they truly do take on a lovely char, enough to fool most guests into thinking I sweated over my Weber in the backyard all afternoon. This skillet is super easy to clean, makes delicious food – from steaks to chicken to mushrooms – and, most importantly, clocks in at under $200 all thanks to Amazon’s terrific sale.
