Le Crueset Eiffel Tower Collection

If you’re into high-end cookware, then you’re familiar with Le Creuset, well known for its high quality cookware — especially the enameled cast iron in a rainbow of colors. Established in 1925, Le Creuset has perfected its craft for nearly a century to produce some of the finest cookware on the market. Though founded by two Belgians, it simultaneously screams "quality" and "French." But hold on to your berets: That French aspect has somehow managed to get even more French with a new, limited-edition collection.

Enter Le Creuset's Eiffel Tower collection. A bit of a play on the company's heritage, the collection includes two different-sized cocotte, a braiser, a casserole and a mug. Each is embossed with the iconic Eiffel Tower, along with a golden knob for the lid of the full-size cocotte and the braiser, but all include that trademark je ne sais quoi.

The Eiffel Tower collection cocotte and braiser are made of the traditional cast iron and enamel that Le Creuset is famous for, while the casserole, mini cocotte and mug are made of stoneware. The selection comes in three gorgeous colors of cerise, indigo an white, with the exception of the casserole, which doesn't come in indigo.

You’ll also be happy to know that each piece is dishwasher safe and the cookware can handle most gas and induction heat sources, meaning you can cook with them anywhere. In fact, one of the nicest things about them is that you can shove the whole casserole or braiser right in the oven without having to worry about the enamel cracking. Granted, the line is quite expensive, starting at $22 and going up to $370, but that’s the cost of quality.

No matter which piece you choose, if you want cookware that's as beautiful as it is functional, then say "oui" to the Eiggel Tower collection from Le Creuset.
