With vaccines continuing to roll out and many states across the United States slowly lifting their pandemic restrictions, summertime entertaining is going to be back in full swing this year. And whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue, a party on the porch, or even a small cocktail hour on the fire escape, being outdoors doesn’t mean having to rely on disposable paper plates or ugly plastic trays to serve just because you don’t want to risk breaking your indoor-only dish set. Luckily, Le Creuset is here to solve the outdoor dining conundrum with its incredibly popular Everyday Enamelware Collection that happens to be on major sale right now.

Launched last summer, this delightfully stylish collection is made by combining carbon steel with colorful porcelain enamel. The end result? Sturdy yet lightweight pieces that keep food hot or cold for a lot longer and are kid friendly, stackable, and resistant to scratches, stains, and rust. This casually elegant collection was super affordable to begin with, but it’s even less expensive now at almost 30 percent off. That means you can stock up now, spend the whole summer entertaining with style, and bring the party back inside with the same set once the weather gets cold. We rounded up our favorite pieces from the collection below, and while you’re already there, don’t forget to browse the brand’s epic summer sale that includes Dutch ovens, bakeware, cast iron cookware, and more.

Sipping that first cup of coffee or tea on the front porch makes summer mornings oh-so-enjoyable. This collection’s mug has a 16-ounce capacity, and you can savor that extra serving for longer since the carbon steel construction will keep your beverage warm. The glazed interior won’t stain, so you can keep sipping throughout the year and look forward to soup and hot chocolate in the colder months.

Face it, side dishes are the best part of any summer barbeque. Pasta salad, potato salad, fruit salad — you can’t make (or eat) just one. That’s where this serving bowl set comes in, offering three matching bowls in 1.5-quart, 3-quart, and 5.25-quart capacities. Assemble and serve right in the bowls, and save yourself from washing more dishes. Plus, you don’t have to worry about avoiding metal utensils to toss or serve, since the interiors won’t scratch.

The 2.25-inch depth ensures everything stays inside the platter but is still easily reachable for even teeny-tiny hands.

Sure, a cereal bowl is great for, well, cereal, but it’s also perfectly sized for a whole host of other foods. Summer soups, a snack of seasonal berries, a double scoop of mac and cheese ... you get the idea. The 27-ounce capacity and high sides mean you can hold a lot and not spill. Stack them high and place them next to your serving bowls for the ultimate matching set.

A paper plate will never give you enough strength when you go back for seconds of that pulled pork, but a lightweight, carbon steel dinner plate certainly will. Pile on the sides and go back for more; this 10-inch beauty won’t fold, crack, or end up in the garbage. Buy a set and stack them for easy storage, whether on the go in a picnic basket or in your cabinet for use year-round.
