The Le Creuset Stoneware Egg Cup: A Small Piece With a Lot of Uses
This little cup is more than a breakfast helper. Le Creuset's premium stoneware is built for everyday use, with a colorful glaze that resists scratches, stains, and flavor absorption. The virtually nonstick interior releases soft-boiled eggs easily, and the material's superior heat retention keeps a chilled dessert cold or a warm snack cozy. Because it's safe for the freezer, oven, microwave, broiler, and dishwasher, you can use it for everything from Easter egg displays to individual pots de crème.

Product Details
A Tiny Cup With a Big Range
The Le Creuset Stoneware Egg Cup in Cerise proves small tools can be surprisingly useful. It's the right size for soft-boiled eggs at breakfast, but it also steps in for dessert shooters, polished party snacks, and kitchen prep. Keep one by the coffee maker and a few in the cupboard for when you need a little extra charm.
What Makes Le Creuset Stoneware Different
Le Creuset stoneware starts with premium clay fired at high temperatures, then receives a durable glaze that is nonporous and non-reactive. That means no absorbing odors, no reacting with acidic foods, and no scrubbing battles with stuck-on food. The result is a piece that looks bright and works hard for years.
Caring for Your Egg Cup
Because the glaze is tough, this cup can go in the dishwasher, microwave, oven, broiler, and freezer. Avoid rapid temperature changes, though, to protect any ceramic piece. For everyday use, simply wash with warm soapy water or load it in the dishwasher and it will come out ready for the next use.
