The “Adorable” $40 Le Creuset Gem You’ll Use for Everything (It’s So Versatile!)
Some of the items I use most in my kitchen were things I originally thought I didn’t need. Take, for instance, custard cups. I use them almost every day to melt butter, hold freshly chopped veggies before I’m ready to cook them, store dressings and dips, and more. It’s these little items that end up making a big difference in my day-to-day cooking (and keep me from piling up clunky mugs in my sink for these purposes). Now, there’s another small find I have my eye on that I think could be a game-changer, too.
I’m talking about the Le Creuset Signature Petite Tasse Set. Not only is their small size — as well as their selection of colors — so adorable, but I can already tell they’re going to be super versatile in my kitchen. And better yet, this new release from Le Creuset is already on sale for just $40.
What Is the Le Creuset Signature Petite Tasse Set?
If you love to host brunches and dinner parties, Le Creuset’s Signature Petite Tasse Set deserves a spot in your cabinets. This set comes with four 1.5-fluid-ounce cups in an array of colors. You can opt for a solid color set and choose from white or red. Or for something a little funkier, you could go for one of the two multicolor sets, depending on whether you prefer pastels or bolder colors.
With these tasses, you’ll be able to seamlessly elevate your tablescape. You can use these cups to store candies, nuts, or dips on your table for folks to pick at. Or, since they can go in an oven up to 500°F, you can also use them to serve cute individual desserts (or even single-serve mug cakes you make in the microwave). Plus, if you wanted to serve a little sipping cup of soup or broth, these would also be a perfect vessel for that.
What I love about this tasse set, too — beyond the fact that it’s adorable as well as microwave- and oven-safe — is that you can put the cups right into the dishwasher once your party is over. And after cooking all day for a dinner party, that’s the kind of ease I’m looking for to finish out the night.
But Le Creuset’s Signature Petite Tasse Set is also super useful beyond entertaining. You could use these in your kitchen to hold chopped veggies (like I do with my custard cups), bake single-serve desserts for yourself, put together a dressing real quick, or even just pick at a bunch of dips for lunch or dinner (which is honestly one of my favorite ways to eat). However you choose to use these cups, you’re bound to find yourself reaching for them all the time.
