We’re not saying your entire kitchen needs to look like a Le Creuset showroom to create dishes like Meghan Markle. But if you’ve been thinking about upgrading your cookware, this is your sign. Nordstrom just marked down a bunch of Le Creuset staples, including the exact pan Meghan used for her viral one pot spaghetti.
The Le Creuset Signature 2.25-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Braiser usually goes for a steep $280, but right now, it’s marked down to $165. Ok, so it’s still not cheap, but it’s the lowest price we’ve seen all year. And as one shopper put it: “You will use it so much, it will outweigh the cost.”
This pot isn’t just for pasta, either. It’s also clutch for short ribs, chicken thighs, cinnamon rolls, focaccia, meatballs — you name it. The wide base sears ingredients to perfection, and once you add liquid, the domed lid traps moisture so everything stays juicy and flavorful.
What really makes this pan different from all the others crowding your cabinets? The enameled cast iron. It heats evenly, holds that heat like a pro and goes from stove to oven without flinching.
It’s also way easier to clean than raw cast iron. Just throw it in the dishwasher when you’re done. And because the enamel resists chipping and dulling, it still looks brand new even after a million uses.
If you’re wondering whether the hype is just…hype, it’s not. Le Creuset’s been doing this since 1925, and each piece is handcrafted in France with the kind of detail that makes you understand why people pass them down.
So whether you’re ready to go full Duchess in the kitchen or you just want to make something that looks like you tried, this is the time to grab it. The price drop won’t stick around, and honestly, neither will the pan once word gets out. Snag it while you can!
