Le Creuset makes ovens in a wider range of sizes and colors than Lodge. Here is a list of all current KitchenAid Artisan mixer colors: Ocean Drive, Apple Cider, Aqua Sky, Bird of Paradise, Black Violet, Blue Willow, Bordeaux. At 11.9 pounds, Le Creuset’s oven is one of the lightest we tested (it’s 3 pounds less than the Lodge), making it the easiest to lift even when full.
KITCHENAID ARTISAN COLOURS SERIES
(Until 2021, Le Creuset’s Signature series of Dutch ovens came with phenolic knobs, but now the stainless-steel knob is standard on the ovens.) Wirecutter’s Winnie Yang told us that the knob on her vintage Le Creuset melted when she baked bread, but we haven’t had issues baking bread or braising foods with the phenolic option on newer pots. You can also get a phenolic (a type of heat-proof plastic) knob, which the company says is oven-safe up to 500° F. The lid comes with a stainless-steel knob that’s oven safe at any temperature.

Plus, no matter how many times you move or how often your taste in baked goods changes, the Blossom is bound to bring elegance and creativity into every kitchen. KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer and K400 Blender, in deepest beetroot the Colour of the Year, no less (Image credit: KitchenAid) Im very happy KitchenAid has gone with this particular hue. The oven’s handles are the most comfortable to grip with mitts or towels, for a seamless transition from the stove to the oven. There’s no doubt about it: This machine is well worth the investment and promises to last a literal lifetime. We prefer the roomier handles of Le Creuset’s oven, even over the Lodge’s generously sized ones. This durable tilt-head stand mixer was built to last, and features 10 speeds to gently knead, thoroughly mix and whip ingredients for a wide variety of recipes and comes in over 20 colors to perfectly match your kitchen design or personality.
