What Customers Ask About Le Creuset Stoneware Mug
Is this microwave safe?
Yes, this mug is fully microwave safe. The specialist stoneware maintains even temperature distribution when heating. Use oven gloves or a towel when removing as the mug will become hot - stoneware retains heat more effectively than standard ceramic mugs, which is beneficial for keeping drinks warm but means the mug itself heats up in the microwave.
Does this mug keep drinks hot longer than ceramic mugs?
Yes, Le Creuset's specialist stoneware, fired at higher temperatures than standard ceramic, retains heat more effectively. The thicker walls and superior clay composition maintain drink temperature longer than typical ceramic mugs. This means your tea or coffee stays warmer whilst you're drinking it - particularly noticeable if you tend to sip slowly or get distracted during breakfast.
Is this dishwasher safe?
Yes, this mug is dishwasher safe for a full cycle. The scratch-resistant glaze maintains its finish through repeated dishwasher use without dulling or crazing. You can also hand wash with warm, soapy water if preferred. Many customers find mugs clean easily either way.
Will cutlery scratch this mug if I use a spoon?
No. Le Creuset's glazed stoneware is specifically designed to be scratch-resistant, maintaining its appearance through daily use with metal spoons for stirring tea or coffee. The high-quality glaze is significantly more durable than standard ceramic finishes, which commonly show spoon marks over time from constant stirring.
Can I use this in the oven?
Yes, Le Creuset stoneware is oven safe up to 260°C. Whilst mugs are typically used for hot drinks, the oven-safe properties mean you could use this for baking individual desserts, warming soups, or creative uses beyond standard mug purposes. When using under the grill, maintain at least 6.5cm (2½ inches) between the heat source and the mug.
What We've Learned About Quality Mugs Since 1972
Over five decades of selling kitchenware, we've observed that customers who invest in quality stoneware mugs like Le Creuset report genuinely longer service life compared to standard ceramic alternatives. The superior heat retention isn't marketing hyperbole - customers regularly comment that their coffee or tea stays warm noticeably longer in Le Creuset mugs, which matters particularly for slow sippers or busy mornings where you might set the mug down frequently.
The 350ml capacity hits a sweet spot - large enough for those who find standard mugs too small, without being so large that drinks go cold before you finish them. The scratch-resistant glaze genuinely maintains its appearance; we see customers who've used their Le Creuset mugs daily for 5-10 years with no visible spoon marks, whilst standard ceramic mugs show scratching within months of regular stirring. The weight (0.33kg) initially surprises some customers accustomed to lighter ceramic, but the heft contributes to the stability and quality feel that makes these mugs feel substantial and well-made.

Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Remove all labels and packaging. Wash the mug in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. This removes any manufacturing residue. The mug is now ready for use.
Daily use and washing: The mug is dishwasher safe for a full cycle. Load securely in the dishwasher to prevent movement during the wash cycle. Alternatively, hand wash with warm, soapy water and dry. The scratch-resistant glaze maintains its appearance through either washing method. Most customers find mugs clean easily regardless of method.
Removing coffee or tea stains: If coffee or tea stains develop inside the mug, fill with warm water and a small amount of bicarbonate of soda, let soak for 15-20 minutes, then wash as usual. The non-porous glaze typically resists staining better than standard ceramic, but very strong coffee or tea may leave marks over time. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that might damage the glaze - use a soft cloth or sponge instead.
Microwave use: The mug is fully microwave safe for reheating drinks. Use oven gloves or a towel when removing as the stoneware will become hot - it retains heat more effectively than standard ceramic mugs. The handle may also become warm in the microwave, so handle with care. The specialist stoneware maintains even temperature distribution when heating.
Using for hot drinks: The specialist stoneware retains heat effectively, keeping tea or coffee warmer for longer than standard ceramic mugs. This heat retention is beneficial for drinks but means the mug itself stays hot for longer after pouring - use the handle rather than gripping the body when the mug is very hot. The handle typically stays cooler than the mug body.
Using in the oven: Whilst primarily designed for hot drinks, the mug is oven safe up to 260°C if you wish to use it for baking individual portions, warming soups, or other creative uses. Use oven gloves when handling as the stoneware retains heat effectively. If heating at room temperature initially, don't preheat your oven above 205°C (400°F).
Storage: Mugs can be stacked for storage if needed, though the handles make stacking less efficient than plates or bowls. The scratch-resistant glaze prevents damage from stacking. Many customers store mugs on open shelving or in cupboards where the vibrant colours remain visible. The 0.33kg weight means stacks of multiple mugs become heavy.
What to avoid: Don't use metal utensils with excessive force, though the glaze is designed to resist normal spoon use for stirring. Avoid sudden extreme temperature changes - don't pour boiling water into a frozen mug immediately. Don't use abrasive cleaners or scourers that could damage the glaze finish. Don't microwave the mug when completely empty, as this serves no purpose and subjects the stoneware to unnecessary stress.
