Le Creuset Stoneware Utensil Crock No 11

Everyone wants a Le Creuset something and the Dutch oven is a few hundred dollars. The utensil crock is the piece that gets the color onto the counter for a fraction of that: glazed stoneware in the same enamel shades, heavy enough not to tip under a full load of spatulas and wooden spoons, and wide enough that nothing has to be pulled out to reach the tongs.

It is a bridal shower gift that matches whatever cookware color they registered for, a housewarming present that says you noticed their kitchen, and the Christmas gift for a mother who already has the pots.

About 2.7 quarts, dishwasher safe, with a drainage-free solid base so it can sit on a wood counter. Colors rotate; the classic cherry red and the current greens are always safe. It is the rare Le Creuset gift that costs less than dinner out.
