Set Le Creuset 40102027160000 Beige Tea Cups 6 pc 0.35 L

The Le Creuset set brings together a classic enamelled steel kettle, a heat-resistant silicone trivet and six 350 ml stoneware mugs in a coordinated beige colour. The kettle features a whistle to signal when water boils, an induction-compatible extra-strong base for faster heating and an ergonomic heat-resistant handle for safe pouring. The silicone trivet protects surfaces from heat and spills while doubling as an anti-slip mat or pot holder. The stoneware mugs are made from specialist clays with bright glaze, offering good heat retention and dishwasher-safe convenience.

Advantages

This coordinated tea set combines functional elements for everyday use: rapid and efficient boiling from the wide, induction-suitable kettle base; a durable, heat-resistant silicone trivet for protecting counters; and robust glazed stoneware mugs that resist scratches and retain heat. Materials and finishes are chosen for long-term durability and easy maintenance.

Suitable for

• Making tea or boiling water on gas, electric and induction hobs
• Everyday family use and entertaining guests
• Protecting surfaces from hot cookware and preventing slips
• Serving hot drinks that benefit from good heat retention

When it may not be suitable

This set is not intended for direct placement on an open flame or as direct protection against very high heat sources beyond normal cooking use. The silicone trivet is heat resistant up to 250°C but does not provide complete insulation from intense or prolonged direct heat. The kettle should not be used without water or allowed to boil dry, and the foldable handle (if present on some kettle versions) must be locked upright before heating.

How to use

Before first use, remove labels and packaging, wash items in warm, soapy water and rinse and dry thoroughly. For the kettle, remove the lid, fill with clean water, bring to a boil and discard that water before normal use. Do not fill above the marked maximum fill line. Use the kettle on a suitably sized hob ring and avoid sliding it across surfaces; lift it on and off to prevent base damage. When boiling is complete, turn off the heat source, wait 10–15 seconds, then pour carefully with the spout and lid indentations facing away from people. Allow the kettle to cool before refilling with cold water.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your hob type (induction, gas, electric) though the kettle has an induction-compatible base
• Consider kitchen counter material and whether a silicone trivet provides sufficient protection for your surface
• Check the mug capacity (0.35 L) and dimensions to ensure they meet your serving preferences
• Note care requirements: hand washing recommended for the kettle; mugs are dishwasher-safe but hand washing preserves glaze

Usage recommendations

Do not allow the kettle to boil dry and avoid using an induction hob ‘boost’ function for small volumes. Clean the kettle after each use with a neutral detergent and dry thoroughly to prevent mineral deposits; for descaling, simmer a 50/50 water and white vinegar mix up to the maximum fill mark for 20 minutes if needed. Use oven gloves when handling hot stoneware and allow at least a 6.5 cm gap when using under a grill.
