Of all the holidays, I always forget how much I love Valentine’s Day. It’s such a cute, fun holiday filled with hearts, chocolates, and plushies (all things I love!). And one aspect of Valentine’s Day I’ve always really loved is the food. From baking mini red velvet cakes out of a heart-shaped silicone mold, to indulging in a nice steak dinner (whether home-cooked or at a restaurant), I can’t get enough. And now that I’ve spied a particularly adorable piece of cookware from Le Creuset’s Valentine’s Day Collection, I think my holiday (and kitchen) is about to get even cuter!

If there is one piece of cookware I’m constantly tempted to buy, it’s Le Creuset’s Mini Cocottes. I can’t get over how adorable they are! And the Mon Coeur Collection Mini Cocotte might just be the one that pushes me over the edge. Not only does it have a pretty heart pattern on it, but it’s also just $32!

What Is the Le Creuset Mon Coeur Collection Mini Cocotte?

Le Creuset’s Mon Coeur Collection Mini Cocotte looks so sweet and can do a lot, as it functions both as cookware or serveware depending on how you want to play it. Complete with a lid, this cocotte can be used in your oven and/or your broiler, making it such a cute vessel for single-serve baked pastas, brownies a la mode, or baked dips. Beyond it being perfect for individual servings of dishes, you can also use it for your Valentine’s Day party by setting it out on the table with your favorite mixed nuts, olives, cheese cubes, fruits, candies, and so much more! 

And we have to talk about its adorable design. This mini cocotte has a white base with pink, red, and gold hearts on the side and on the lid. I love that it feels perfect for Valentine’s Day without being too over-the-top, design-wise. Because of that, you could easily use this cocotte for other occasions throughout the year to add a cute touch to your table.

Another aspect that’s nice about the Mon Coeur Collection Mini Cocotte is that it’s not a hassle to clean. It helps that it’s small, but the glaze on the stoneware piece really makes it nice and easy to hand-wash. 

Between its super-cute design, its versatility, and how simple it is to clean, Le Creuset’s Mon Coeur Collection Mini Cocotte deserves a spot on your (and my) Valentine’s Day table and beyond. And given that it’s just $32, I can’t see why I shouldn’t add it to my cart right now …
