Le Creuset Debuts Its First Outdoor Cooking Line - For Those Committed to Barbecue Excellence
As the warmer weather ushers in, garden and terrace preparations are underway, and Le Creuset's new BBQ collection comes just in time to elevate outdoor culinary experiences. This first-ever outdoor line by the heritage French cookware brand promises to make impromptu grills and extended alfresco lunches even more delightful.
The collection offers various pieces such as skillets, a pizza pan, a grilling basket, and accessories, all adorned with Le Creuset's signature design and renowned performance. By venturing into open-fire cooking, the brand demonstrates a natural expansion of its craft, which seems long overdue.
Items in the collection are heat-resistant up to 450°C and require no pre-seasoning before use, ensuring both durability and elegance. While Le Creuset's cast-iron cookware is considered an investment, the prices for the BBQ collection seem refreshingly affordable. Prices for accessories start at £26, while the 4L outdoor casserole is priced at £249.
