This Le Creuset Pumpkin-Shaped Pie Dish Just Launched on Amazon, and It’s Already a No. 1 New Release

Like so many people this time of year, I have already embarked on a litany of fall baking projects and I’ve already started planning my Thanksgiving and Christmas menus. Yet, as much I love cooking around the holiday season, I sometimes hesitate to fully embrace festive decorations. But Le Creuset’s latest piece of bakeware might just change my mind. Le Creuset already makes a pumpkin cocotte, but they just added yet another pumpkin-shaped piece to their collection, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it. Not only does its design put plain ceramic pie dishes to shame, it’s also a versatile enough vessel for tons of different baked dishes. 

Let me introduce you to the Le Creuset pumpkin casserole dish. It’s the latest piece of Le Creuset bakeware to launch at Amazon (the brand recently dropped the new everyday pan, too), and it’s already a No. 1 new release — which doesn’t surprise me. I mean, just look at it. 

Le Creuset Stoneware Pumpkin Baker with Lid

Like all Le Creuset bakeware, this baking dish is made from stoneware, the best material for baked dishes. Stoneware distributes heat uniformly without producing hot spots, so that whatever your baking does so evenly. And if you plan on baking for frequent holiday parties and family gatherings coming up, stoneware’s resistance to chipping, staining, and scratching will be especially appealing. 

Measuring 9-inches in diameter, this round dish is roomy enough to accommodate any kind of pie or tart. However, what really makes it stand out is the pumpkin-shaped lid, a sure fire conversation starter that will add a touch of drama and flair to your dinner table this holiday season.  

You won’t need this lid to bake pie, but it will come in handy if you use the dish for baked casseroles. The snug-fitting lid circulates moisture throughout the dish during the cooking process, which is helpful for preventing the ingredients from drying out. And as an added bonus, it will help maintain the warmth of your dish before you’re ready to serve dinner or dessert. 

The Le Creuset pumpkin baking dish comes in earthy, autumnal colors, including permission, artichaut, and sea salt. And while there is no doubt that it's absolutely a practical piece of bakeware you’ll reach for this fall and winter, it’s also a complete upgrade from typical crimped pie dishes everybody uses around the holidays.

This Le Creuset pumpkin baker is going to be your go-to dish this holiday season, and I’m even tempted to try it out myself. By the way,  if you’re already daydreaming about what to bake in it, the answer is everything.
