This Beloved Le Creuset Shade Is Being Discontinued, but You Can Shop Every Piece on Sale

If there’s one thing Le Creuset is known for (aside from its quality), it’s the inspired colors the brand launches. From fiery reds to sage greens, there’s an option for everyone’s style. If you’re a neutral lover, however, I have some sad news to report. Le Creuset has decided to retire one of its most beloved shades: Meringue. 

This soft ivory hue based on the classic French dessert launched about 5 years ago, and it will be gone for good as soon as the brand’s stock sells out. The good news is that all of the pieces in this color are on sale for up to 43% off, so if you want something in the shade, now’s the perfect (and last) time. Shop Dutch ovens, baking dishes, and more popular items now. Andhurry if you see an option you like—they’re selling fast. 

Last Chance for Le Creuset Meringue 

Vancouver Mug

It doesn’t get any more classic than an ivory mug. Plus, the mug design really highlights the meringue hue gradient—moving from a darker, golden shade up to a soft light white. The mug is made with stoneware, so you can use it without any fuss, whether in the microwave, the dishwasher or even the oven, if you want to keep it warm. It’s 14 ounces in size and sports a very traditional shape, with a nice lip for sipping and a sturdy handle for holding. With the discount, now’s a great time to grab one or a few to add to your collection. 

Signature Round Dutch Oven

This Dutch oven is Le Creuset’s hallmark piece. It’s our favorite splurge option on the market, proving just how durable, even heating and stunning this piece of cookware is. With the discounted price, it’s even more worthy of an investment. The ivory color really shines on the lid and on the base, where you can see the ombre ivory shades converge together for a soft, meringue-inspired look. It’s made with cast iron and has an enameled slick coating, so cooking or baking in this is a breeze. Shop it in the 5.5- or the 7.5-quart size before they’re gone.  

Signature 3.5-Quart Braiser

This braising dish is an excellent addition to your collection. It has a unique shape that not many other cookware or bakeware pieces have. The base is a hybrid between a pot and pan, with a wide opening and a little depth, making it ideal for braises, casseroles and desserts—especially those that you want to take straight from the kitchen to the table. It’s splashed with meringue both on the base and the domed lid—topped off with a sleek stainless steel knob. It’s enameled cast iron, just like the Dutch oven, so it’ll also heat evenly and consistently no matter what you use it for. 

Signature 2.25-Quart Saucepan

A saucepan might seem a little basic, but there are so many benefits to this saucepan that it stands apart from others. Its enameled cast iron material ensures proper heat retention, which is key for a lot of the uses for a saucepan, including sauce (hence the name), soup, grains, and more. The light interior is also helpful for other tasks, like browning butter or making a caramel, since you can easily monitor the color. Because this pot is cast iron, it’s also great for frying. Similar to the braiser and the Dutch oven, you can see the color design well both on the lid and the base. The 2.25 option is still in stock, so if this sounds right up your alley, I’d move quickly. 

Rectangular Dish with Platter Lid

Don’t overlook Le Creuset’s bakeware in this shade, like this double-duty baking dish. The base is a classic rectangular casserole shape, measuring around 12 by 8 by 2 inches. There are two helper handles on either side to help you take it from the oven to your table in no time. It comes with a lid that doubles as a serving dish. It’s a hosting essential, and with the neutral shade, it’ll let all of your recipes shine.
