Le Creuset, a global leader in premium cookware for chefs and home cooks alike, has introduced its newest offering, the Gourmand Collection. Designed to meet the unique needs of the ever-evolving hospitality industry, the premier collection features eight thoughtfully designed pieces that meet the demands required in the foodservice industry, from the back of house to on-table dining.
Crafted from the brand’s enameled cast iron, the cookware is encased in a durable matte black enamel that is ready to use and requires no seasoning. The collection features distinct, large handles that curve upwards, offering enhanced control and ease during service, in addition to gentle internal radiuses to better accommodate flatware during dining. The snug-fitting lids ensure plating is both efficient and precise.
“We recognized a significant gap in the premier cookware market, particularly for single serve cast iron pieces,” says Christopher Scinto, senior vice president marketing & sales at Le Creuset. “Each item in the Gourmand Collection is crafted to withstand the demands of a commercial kitchen, while delivering an elegant Le Creuset aesthetic for a refined dining experience.”

- Gourmand Collection Cocotte 4-Piece Set ($280)
- Gourmand Collection Cocotte with Lid 4-Piece Set ($460)
- Gourmand Collection Braiser 4-Piece Set ($280)
