Calling all Le Creuset fans — the iconic cast iron cookware brand just launched the Gourmand Collection, which features individually-sized versions of some of the brand’s most popular items, including mini cocottes, braisers and skillets. The pieces are all made from the brand’s signature dishwasher-safe enameled cast iron (excluding the wooden trivets) and designed for single-serve dishes, making them ideal for individual meal prep, dinner parties and more.
The collection, which includes seven cookware sets, is available to shop now on the brand’s website. Below, I rounded up standout products from the launch and everything you need to know as you shop.

Le Creuset Gourmand Collection Cocotte (Set of 4)
Ideal for kitchen-to-table style serving, this cocotte set is great for preparing dishes like stews, casseroles, sides and desserts, according to the brand. The cocotte has a curved interior with a flat bottom, plus larger handles that curve upward for easier grip. The cocottes are stackable made from Le Creuset’s signature enameled cast iron. Like the rest of the collection, the set has a matte black finish that you can clean in the dishwasher. You can purchase the cocotte in a set with matching cast iron lids included.
Le Creuset Gourmand Collection Braiser (Set of 4)
This enameled cast iron braiser set is designed to cook and serve shareable dishes like pastas and desserts. The wide shape makes it great for one-pot meals and shallow frying, according to the brand. It’s safe to place in an oven up to 842 degrees Fahrenheit, too. Like the cocotte, you can purchase the braiser in a set with matching lids.
Le Creuset Gourmand Collection Oval Baker (Set of 4)
At-home bakers will love using this oval set for whipping up delicious pies, crumbles and more. The shape helps evenly distribute heat while baking, and the open-top design is ideal for dishes that have a crisp or charred top, according to the brand. This set is also available in a rectangular set.
Le Creuset Gourmand Collection Skillet (Set of 4)
You can use this skillet set to sear, stir-fry, sauté and more, according to Le Creuset. As is traditional for Le Creuset cookware, it requires no seasoning and has a strong enamel that helps to prevent dulling, chipping or staining. It’s compatible with all cooktops, including ceramic, eclectic, gas and induction, according to the brand.
Le Creuset Gourmand Collection Petite Magnetic Wooden Trivet (Set of 4)
These trivets are designed to protect surfaces from heat, making them the perfect add-on to the rest of the collection’s cookware. They’re made from long-grain acacia wood and have a magnet that easily attaches to the bottom of the cookware, according to the brand. The trivets are heat-resistant up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, and you can spot clean them using a damp cloth.
