The viral Le Creuset Mystery Box trend on TikTok
I don't need any convincing that Le Creuset is a solid choice and that it really lasts, having been gifted a selection of cast iron dutch ovens, baking dishes and more as wedding presents over a decade ago. However, I often regret playing it safe with the gift list and opting for a very unadventurous shade of charcoal gray, thinking it would go with everything.
I was right to some extent, and I've used it all more than most other pieces in my kitchen, but I can't deny that I've been watching these TikTok videos slightly green with envy at the array of colorful and unique pieces being unwrapped with anticipation by excited shoppers, and wondering which shades I could add to my collection. You can never have enough Le Creuset, after all.
Luckily, to combat my FOMO, I've discovered these amazing deals on some gorgeous pieces in the summer sales including in the online Le Creuset factory to table sale and the last day of the Amazon Prime Day sale, which might just elevate my somewhat utilitarian color palette to chic cookware collection status.
