Things are heating up at Le Creuset. In honor of its 100th anniversary—yes, Le Creuset has been making its iconic cast-iron cookware for an entire century—the brand is releasing Flamme Dorée, a new take on its classic colorway. You see, Flame was the very first color of Le Creuset when the company opened for business back in 1925. Between its warm orange hue and ever-so-slight gradient, Flame single-handedly put Le Creuset on the map—not to mention it brought a fun pop of color to your kitchen.
A century later, Flamme Dorée honors Flame's legacy and gives the iconic color a modern twist. Each piece features a new, golden crucible knob design, which is a refreshing change from the silver ones that typically top Le Creuset's inventory. Meanwhile, a dusting of light-catching minerals will give your cookware a subtle yet shimmery gilded finish.
Of course, there's more to Le Creuset's Flamme Dorée colorway than meets the eye: This specific option has a third layer of enamel coating to ensure the food you place inside cooks as evenly and thoroughly as possible. In true Le Creuset fashion, every piece has a tight-fitting lid to help retain moisture and an easy-to-clean interior. Oh, and did we mention the company's cookware is compatible with all cooktops and oven-safe up to 500°F?
Currently, only three products come in Flamme Dorée: Le Creuset's saucepan, braiser, and Dutch oven. However, given how popular Flame is, we have a feeling it's only a matter of time until Le Creuset offers even more pieces in this new shade.
After all, if you want to make food that looks as good as it tastes, picking out a Le Creuset color isn't something you do willy-nilly: It's a decision that will set the tone for your entire space. While some people let their kitchen decor or astrological sign sway their decision, other home chefs like Meghan Markle opt for more than one color. Whether you're building your collection from scratch or want to jazz up your current collection, one thing's for sure: Flamme Dorée is poised to be a fiery finishing touch to any kitchen.
But hurry! While Flamme Dorée is currently available on Amazon, we have a feeling it's going to sell out fast and highly recommend checking out the picks below. Bon appétit!
