Featuring a decorative bee scheme, your guests will be impressed by your stylish Honey Pot. This convenient kitchen accessory is particularly ideal for those recipes that call for an extra dash of honey and can be displayed front and center on your countertop until its next use.

Cast Iron Cookware Deep Clean

Spring cleaning will ultimately require you to get your hands dirty and could present an opportunity to deep clean your cast iron cookware. The first step is to make sure you have the following items: Baking soda, soft non-abrasive pads and brushes, Le Creuset’s Cookware Cleaner, soap, and a little bit of patience.

Once your cast iron cookware has soaked in water and baking soda, gently scrub off any stuck-on food residue without compromising the integrity of the cooking surface. Our Cookware Cleaning Kit can also be used for this step, perfect for cleaning heat stains, discoloration, grit, and restoring the enamel’s natural shine.

Next, be sure to rinse off your cookware one final time in hot soapy water before setting it aside to dry. And voilà - your favourite pieces of cast iron cookware are virtually brand new! Regularly cleaning your cast iron cookware will ensure its durability and top-quality performance and slick appearance for years to come.

The Stacking Method

Now that we have discussed how to clean your cookware, let’s take a look at different storage techniques, namely the Stacking Method. Maximizing storage space is critical in the kitchen, especially if you have a comprehensive Le Creuset collection.

Luckily, all of our cookware comes equipped with convenient plastic clips, simplifying storage and organization. In fact, these plastic clips ensure you can safely stack your favourite pots and pans one atop the other simply by inverting the lid.

This not only saves crucial cupboard space but is ultimately designed to protect the interior enamel and surface from chipping or cracking, minimizing contact with other cookware. When cooking, simply pull the clips off and store them in a nearby dish by the windowsill!

The Utensil Rack Method

The Utensil Rack Method is designed to free up valuable countertop space while highlighting your stylish collection of kitchen utensils. This method is as simple as hanging your most frequently used utensils on their own hooks for easy access. The key, however, is to select four or five kitchen utensils that you use the most to avoid over-cramming. The Utensil Rack Method is commonly used in restaurants, giving professional chefs immediate access to their tools and accessories.

The Countertop Crock Method

As its name suggests, the Countertop Crock Method is as simple as grabbing your Utensil Crock and filling it with your favourite kitchen utensils. Ultimately, this method is designed to centralize all your favourite tools and accessories in one convenient place, ensuring nothing gets lost in a cluttered drawer. As Solomon notes, be sure to only store the utensils you use on a regular basis in the Utensil Crock, providing easy access.

The Drawer Organizer Method

Last but certainly not least, we have the Drawer Organizer Method. This one’s for countertop minimalists, opting to store kitchen utensils out of sight. Begin by purchasing a drawer organizer that is the length of the drawer before inserting organizers throughout to conveniently divide the drawer.

With the Drawer Organizer Method, it is typically recommended to group similar utensils together for easier identification (i.e., spoons with spoons, spatulas with spatulas). This method is ideal for eliminating countertop clutter and blends seamlessly into a minimalist kitchen setup.
