The versatile size works for both casual everyday use and elegant entertaining occasions.
Can I use this in the oven?
Yes, the bowl is oven safe to 260°C (500°F). It can go from freezer to oven, making it suitable for individual baked dishes, gratins, crumbles, or reheating frozen portions. Always place frozen dishes in a cold oven and allow them to heat up together rather than placing in a preheated oven above 205°C. Use oven gloves when handling hot stoneware.
Is this dishwasher safe?
Yes, the bowl is dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning. You can also hand wash in warm soapy water if preferred. The scratch-resistant glaze maintains its appearance through repeated dishwasher cycles, ensuring the bowl looks pristine for years to come.
What is the three-ring design?
The distinctive three-ring design is Le Creuset's iconic feature found on their cast iron cookware, created by the manufacturing process rings formed during casting. This stoneware bowl features the same design aesthetic, allowing it to coordinate beautifully with existing Le Creuset cast iron pieces for a cohesive table presentation that celebrates the brand's heritage.
Can I freeze food in this bowl?
Yes, the bowl is freezer safe down to -23°C. You can freeze individual portions directly in the bowl, then transfer from freezer to oven for reheating—perfect for meal prep or batch cooking. Remember to place frozen dishes in a cold oven and heat gradually rather than in a preheated oven to prevent thermal shock.
Specifications
Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Remove all labels and packaging. Wash the bowl in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. This removes any manufacturing residue and prepares the stoneware for food contact.
General use: The bowl's versatile design works for serving both hot and cold foods. The specialist clay construction maintains even temperatures, keeping hot foods warm and cold foods chilled for longer periods. The 350ml capacity provides generous individual servings whilst remaining compact enough for table settings.
Oven use: Always use oven gloves when handling hot stoneware. For frozen dishes, place in a cold oven, set the temperature, and allow both to heat up together—never place frozen stoneware in a preheated oven. For room-temperature dishes, don't preheat your oven above 205°C (400°F). Before adding liquid to a dish in the oven, remove it and allow to cool for a few minutes first.
Grill use: When using under the grill, always maintain at least 6.5cm (2½ inches) gap between the heat source and the top of the bowl. Use oven gloves and monitor closely.
Microwave use: The bowl is microwave safe for convenient reheating. Use appropriate microwave times and power levels for your food. Always use oven gloves or a cloth when removing from the microwave, as the stoneware may become hot.
Freezer use: The bowl can go from freezer to oven, making it ideal for meal prep and batch cooking individual portions. Freeze, then reheat as needed. Remember the cold-oven rule when reheating frozen dishes.
Cleaning: Allow the bowl to cool down before cleaning. Wipe any food residue from the interior. For stuck-on food, fill with warm soapy water and soak for 15-20 minutes before washing as usual. Hand wash and dry, or place in the dishwasher for a full cycle. The scratch-resistant glaze maintains its appearance through repeated washing.
Avoiding thermal shock: Don't place hot stoneware on cold surfaces or add cold liquids to very hot stoneware, as sudden temperature changes can cause cracking. Allow gradual temperature transitions to maintain the integrity of the stoneware.
Stain prevention: Whilst the glaze resists scratching and staining, strongly pigmented foods may cause some discolouration over extended use. This is cosmetic and doesn't affect functionality or food safety. Most staining can be minimized by prompt cleaning after use.
Storage: Store in a dry cupboard. The bowl's compact size makes it easy to stack with other similarly-sized items, though placing a paper towel or cloth between stacked pieces prevents any potential scratching during storage movement.

The range typically includes both classic Le Creuset colours and seasonal hues, allowing you to coordinate with your kitchen décor or existing Le Creuset collection.
Does this match other Le Creuset items?
Yes, the Coupe Snack Bowl features the distinctive three-ring design found on Le Creuset's iconic cast iron cookware. It's designed to coordinate perfectly with existing Le Creuset pieces, whether you're matching colours across your collection or mixing hues for an eclectic tablescape. The contemporary design also works beautifully as a standalone piece.
What's the Le Creuset guarantee?
Le Creuset provides a comprehensive 10-year manufacturer's guarantee on their stoneware, covering defects in materials and workmanship. This demonstrates their confidence in the exceptional quality and durability of their products. The guarantee does not cover damage from misuse, accidents, or normal wear and tear—that's where our Half-Price Replacement guarantee helps.
Can I use this under the grill?
Yes, the bowl is suitable for use under the grill, but always maintain at least 6.5cm (2½ inches) gap between the heat source and the top of the bowl. Use oven gloves when handling and monitor closely to prevent overheating. The grill's intense direct heat requires more attention than oven use.
Will this crack if I take it from freezer to oven?
The bowl is designed to go from freezer to oven safely when done correctly. Always place frozen dishes in a cold oven, then set the temperature and allow both to heat up together. Never place frozen stoneware in a preheated oven, as the sudden temperature change can cause thermal shock and potential cracking.
How does Le Creuset stoneware compare to other brands?
Le Creuset stoneware is crafted from specialist clays that provide exceptional strength, durability, and even temperature distribution. The scratch-resistant glaze maintains appearance through years of use. The 10-year guarantee reflects Le Creuset's confidence in their quality. Whilst premium-priced, the longevity and performance typically justify the investment for those seeking heirloom-quality tableware.
Can I buy multiple bowls in different colours?
Yes, many customers build collections featuring different Le Creuset colours for a vibrant, eclectic table setting. The consistent design across colours allows mixing whilst maintaining a cohesive aesthetic. Check our full range to see all available colour options and consider starting with colours that complement your existing Le Creuset pieces or kitchen décor.
Is 350ml a good size for ice cream portions?
Yes, 350ml provides a generous individual serving for ice cream, gelato, or frozen yoghurt—approximately 2-3 scoops depending on scoop size. The size also works well for sundaes with toppings. The stoneware construction helps keep frozen desserts cold for longer during serving, whilst the organic curved shape makes it easy to scoop from.
Can I bake individual desserts in this bowl?
Absolutely. The 350ml capacity and oven-safe design make it perfect for individual baked desserts like crumbles, cobblers, bread puddings, soufflés, or lava cakes. The even heat distribution from the specialist clay ensures consistent baking results. Use oven gloves when handling and remember to check desserts are cooked through before serving.
