What Customers Ask About the Rainbow Egg Cup Set
What colours are included in the Rainbow Collection set?
This set includes six vibrant colours: Cerise (deep red), Volcanic (orange-red), Nectar (sunshine yellow), Bamboo (fresh green), Azure (bright blue), and Ultra Violet (purple). Each egg cup is a different colour, creating a cheerful rainbow display at the breakfast table.
Can I buy the egg cups individually or only as a set?
This product is sold as a set of 6 egg cups in the Rainbow Collection colours. If you're looking for individual egg cups in specific colours, check our Le Creuset stoneware range for single-colour options, though availability varies by colour.
Will hot boiled eggs crack the stoneware?
No, the stoneware is designed to handle temperature extremes from -23°C to +260°C, so freshly boiled eggs won't cause thermal shock or cracking. The specialist clays maintain even temperature and are exceptionally durable. You can place hot eggs directly into the cups from boiling water.
How do I prevent egg yolk staining in the cups?
Rinse or wash the egg cups promptly after use to prevent staining. The glazed stoneware is stain-resistant, but dried egg can be stubborn. If staining occurs, soak in warm, soapy water for 15-20 minutes before washing. The darker colours (Cerise, Volcanic, Ultra Violet) show staining less than lighter colours.

Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Remove all labels and packaging. Wash the egg cups in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Serving boiled eggs: Place freshly boiled eggs directly into the egg cups - the stoneware can handle the heat. The specialist clays maintain even temperature, keeping eggs warm whilst you eat. Serve with a small spoon and toast soldiers for traditional egg-and-soldiers presentation.
Alternative uses: These egg cups work beautifully for serving individual portions of condiments, dipping sauces, or small desserts. They're also charming as small planters for succulents or holders for small flowers. The Rainbow Collection colours add visual interest to cheese boards or serving platters when used for salt, spices, or garnishes.
Cleaning: Rinse or wash promptly after use to prevent egg residue from drying. The glazed stoneware is stain-resistant, but egg yolk can stain if left to dry. For stuck-on egg, soak in warm, soapy water for 15-20 minutes before washing. Whilst dishwasher-safe, we recommend hand-washing to preserve the glaze's lustre. The small size makes hand-washing quick and easy. Dry thoroughly after washing.
Storage: Store in a cupboard or display on open shelving - the cheerful colours make attractive kitchen decoration. Ensure egg cups are completely dry before storing to prevent any moisture issues.
Versatile temperature use: The egg cups are oven-safe to 260°C if you want to bake individual portions, microwave-safe for reheating, and freezer-safe for making frozen treats. However, their primary purpose is serving boiled eggs and small portions at room temperature.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I've used it and don't like it?
Return it anyway. Our no quibble guarantee covers used items - if it doesn't do what you wanted, we'll refund you. This applies even after you've used them.
How does the Half-Price Replacement guarantee work?
Valid for 2 years from purchase date. If you accidentally break items from this set, we'll replace them at half price with proof of purchase and evidence of breakage. Photos of the damage are acceptable.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery to mainland UK addresses can take up to 7 working days, but is usually 3-4, and is free for orders over £49. Next day delivery may be available for £9.95 on orders placed before 1pm Monday to Thursday, depending on your location and our stock levels. You can also collect from our shops in Cobham or Reigate, or our warehouse in Redhill.
Are these dishwasher safe?
Yes, Le Creuset stoneware is dishwasher-safe for full cycles. However, we recommend hand-washing to preserve the glaze's lustre over time. Egg cups are small and quick to rinse - a brief wash after use prevents egg residue from drying.
Are the colours exactly as shown in product photos?
Le Creuset's colours are consistent within production batches, but slight variations can occur due to the nature of glazed ceramics and screen display differences. The Rainbow Collection colours are distinctive and vibrant, designed to create the cheerful spectrum effect shown. If colour accuracy is critical, we recommend viewing them in person at our shops.
Can I buy replacement egg cups if one breaks?
Individual replacement egg cups in specific Rainbow Collection colours may not always be available, as this is sold as a coordinated set. Check our Le Creuset stoneware range for individual egg cups in various colours that could substitute for a broken cup, though an exact match isn't guaranteed.
