What Customers Ask About Le Creuset Pumpkin Mug with Lid
Yes, both the mug and lid are microwave safe. The stoneware construction means you can reheat beverages or food with the lid on. However, be careful when removing as both the mug and lid will be hot. Always use oven gloves or allow to cool slightly before handling. The lid helps retain moisture and heat during microwaving.
The 400ml capacity provides generous room for large coffees, teas, or hot chocolates. This is approximately 14 fluid ounces. When filled to a sensible drinking level (leaving room at the top), you'll get around 350-380ml of usable capacity. The size is perfect for those who prefer larger servings without needing constant refills.
The lid sits securely on top and helps prevent spills from tipping, but it's not designed as a leak-proof travel mug. The lid is intended to keep beverages warm at your desk, table, or whilst relaxing at home. For travel, we recommend Le Creuset's dedicated travel mugs with sealed lids. This mug excels at keeping drinks warm at home or in the office.
Yes, the mug is oven safe to 260°C. It's perfect for individual desserts like chocolate lava cakes, bread pudding, or crème brûlée. When using under the grill, maintain at least 6.5cm distance between the top of the mug and the heating element. The stoneware distributes heat evenly for consistent baking results. Always place on a baking tray for easier handling.
Le Creuset Stoneware is made from specialist clays fired at extremely high temperatures, making it denser and more durable than standard ceramic or porcelain. It's highly resistant to chipping, thermal shock, and staining. The virtually non-stick glaze means minimal staining even from coffee or tea. Stoneware also retains heat exceptionally well, keeping beverages warmer for longer than standard mugs.
Whilst the pumpkin shape adds seasonal charm, it's fully functional. The ribbed design provides textural grip when holding the mug, and the shape distributes heat evenly. The wide base offers stability on tables and desks. The mug is comfortable to hold and drink from despite the decorative exterior - form and function work together beautifully.

Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Remove all packaging and labels. Wash in hot soapy water or run through the dishwasher, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely.
Daily use: The mug and lid are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Le Creuset's virtually non-stick glaze means stains from coffee, tea, or other beverages wipe away easily. For hand washing, use warm soapy water and a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge.
Microwave use: Safe to use in the microwave with or without the lid. When reheating, use medium power for best results. Always use oven gloves when removing as the stoneware will be hot.
Oven and grill use: Safe up to 260°C. Perfect for baking individual desserts or gratins. When grilling, maintain at least 6.5cm distance between the top of the mug and the heating element. Always place on a baking tray for stability and easier handling. Use oven gloves when handling hot stoneware.
Freezer use: Safe for freezing soups, desserts, or other foods. When reheating from frozen, allow to come to room temperature first or place directly into a cold oven and heat gradually to prevent thermal shock.
Stain prevention: Whilst the glaze is highly stain-resistant, rinsing soon after use prevents any potential staining from coffee or tea. If light staining occurs, a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water usually removes it.
Avoid: Do not use metal utensils which may scratch the glaze. Avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g., don't pour cold liquid into a hot mug fresh from the oven). Do not use on hobs or direct flame - stoneware is designed for oven, microwave, and serving use only.
Storage: Stack carefully with the lid stored separately or placed gently on top. If stacking multiple mugs, consider placing a soft cloth between them to prevent any potential chipping.
