A versatile 13.5-in. platter to serve chips and salsa, hot wings, veggies with dips - just about everything! The 16-oz. dip bowl is separate for popping in microwave or dishwasher. Its generous size and bold color choices will be the life of the party. Le Creuset's Traditional Stoneware is so useful in the kitchen, you may wonder what you ever did without it. Not only does it perform beautifully in the microwave and oven, its classic design lends a distinctive charm to the table. Le Creuset stoneware is not for use on the stovetop. This all-in-one fashion serve ware moves smoothly from the refrigerator or freezer to the microwave or oven to the table, allowing you to spend more time entertaining and less time washing dishes.

A new addition to the Le Creuset specialties line, this hors d'oeuvres set is sure to brighten your next party by serving chips and salsa, shrimp and cocktail sauce, crudités and artichoke dip, and much more. Made of high-fired stoneware and glazed with nonporous enamel, both pieces are extremely durable and resist cracking, chipping, and staining. The 13-1/2-inch platter with its raised center might be a bit large to fit in most microwaves, but it can be oven-heated for serving hot appetizers. Fitting perfectly in the platter's raised center, the 16-ounce bowl can go from the freezer to the oven or microwave, and works nicely on its own for things other than dips. Choose from a variety of bright modern colors for the exteriors; the interiors show a more neutral tone for contrast. After use, the platter and bowl can be washed easily by hand or in the dishwasher. Le Creuset products are made in France and are covered by a lifetime warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri
