I’ve always loved gifting my family and friends clever kitchenware. I’m lucky enough to be a cookery product tester, so my home is stacked with high-quality tools and the best non-toxic cookware from the test kitchen. I see firsthand how much a good product can make a difference in daily life.
My sister, in particular, has always dreamed of owning something from Le Creuset – but a designer Dutch oven is a little out of my budget for a Christmas gift (and I’m certainly not giving her mine!).
That’s why I was so excited to hear that Le Creuset quietly dropped a bunch of new arrivals this week. Among them is a surprising launch for the best cast iron cookware brand – a silicone food storage container with the iconic LC logo. It’s adorable, practical, and starts at just $20. There’s more where that came from, so I’ll show you my top picks below.
I think this is a great little gift for meal-preppers, packed-lunch eaters, and anyone who appreciates good design. The silicone is food-safe and matches the colorways of Le Creuset's most iconic cast iron: Cerise, Flame, and White. They're dishwasher-safe for ease, too.
Silicone food storage swaps are a great way to keep toxins out of the kitchen (vital for health-conscious cooks), and it's even better that they are stylish kitchen storage containers you want to use every day; this certainly helps me to keep up good habits in the kitchen.
My only criticism is that you can't see through the Le Creuset Silicone Storage Container. When I asked professional chefs about their favorite non-toxic kitchen tools, many of them mentioned glass containers with clear lids (like these Hold Everything Rectangular Glass Food Storage Containers from Williams Sonoma), which make it easy to quickly grab food from the refrigerator without confusion. It is one of the simplest food storage ideas to reduce food waste.
However, you could always grab some food storage tape from Amazon to stick on the sides, so you know what's inside and when you stored it. It's actually a really professional hack that chefs rely on in busy pantries.
More New and Giftable Fall Arrivals From Le Creuset
It seems like Le Creuset has holiday gifting in mind with these new launches. If you can't afford to gift the biggest, best Dutch oven, these treats are definitely worth considering alongside the Le Creuset Silicone Storage Container.
In our exclusive How I Host with Clodagh McKenna video, the chef showed us how to create a perfect fall dinner party. The way she laid the table with individual salt dishes really changed my brain chemistry. I'd love to try it with these Le Creuset sets with adorable little spoons.
I'm genuinely considering getting this for my Mom's Christmas gift. She's obsessed with the Philips Dual Series Air Fryer I gave her last year, and she uses a supermarket olive oil spray to get things crispy. The Le Creuset sprayer is a luxe upgrade to keep on the counter. Plus, the stainless steel keeps the oil fresher for longer.
If any of my family or friends reads this, I'm sorry about the spoilers for your holiday gifts, but I'm glad you'll have seen this mug – because it's exactly what I want in my stocking. You can't go wrong with Le Creuset stoneware; I love the chic color and festive gold detail on this new arrival. Yes, please.
If you have a loved one who enjoys organizing a kitchen, or can't wait to get meal-prepping for a healthy start when the new year rolls around, I think they'll love the Le Creuset Silicone Storage Containers.
Stay tuned for more gifting ideas; I'm always keeping my editor eyes out for new launches or time-honored treats that you can trust to go down well on Christmas morning.
