Le Creuset Creates the "Gratest" Star Trek Tribute of All Time with Their Kitschy Trek-Inspired Kitchenwares

Make it so mine. Please, Le Creuset. Hear my plea. Star Trek x Le Creuset.

If you want to give nerd cred where nerd cred is due, look no further than your nearest Trekkie. If you're reading this, the thing I'm writing, then that's me. The Trek fandom has endured the worst insults while simultaneously spearheading some of the things all of nerddom holds dear, like conventions, letter writing, canon and merch.

We've had 60 glorious years of captains, starships, tribbles, Klingons and the Federation and our imagination knows no bounds. There are generations upon generations of fans. Some came into it way back when Lucille Ball gave it the boost it needed to become a thing in the first place. Some watched TNG because their parents were watching it and didn't come to appreciate it until later. Some just discovered it with Lower Decks, Discovery, Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks.

The point is, there's a lot of us, in every demographic, every class, every single place in every nation. And we've got money to spend if you've got the wares.

Well. Someone told Le Creuset, and I'm fearful my wallet will never recover.

I thought it was too much- certainly there's no way Le Creuset would go THIS far. I mean, it's not just one beautiful enameled cast iron with a Starfleet Delta. There's a Galileo casserole. A Spock spoonholder. A mother flippin' COMMUNI-GRATER.

Friends. Trekkies. People who like to cook. I have one thing to say to you:

Now, I'd have bought a Le Creuset anyway. Do I have other brands of enameled cast iron that work just as well? I sure do. But the beauty and timelessness of a Le Creuset makes me want one. The fact that they stand by their lifetime warranty makes me want one. The love and craftsmanship they put in each piece makes me want one.

And now, they went full bore into Star Trek with it.

My bank account will absolutely never recover. Let's explore just a FEW of the things I need to get my hands on yesterday and fear I never will:

I mean, it even goes fast. You can tell by the way it is.

Here's the 500 dollar Enterprise Round Dutch Oven with Starfleet Delta Knob.

I weep.

Or this Star Trek Collection Klingon Round Braiser with Klingon Trefoil Knob coming in at 450 dollars with a whole lot of phaser fire? Fireworks? Some sort of spacial anomaly? I mean, we'll get on that later.

But wait, there's more. For 60 bucks you can get your hands on a Gorn, Balok or Talosian Mini Cocotte.

OMG, it's a Galileo Rectangular Casserole for $150. To be honest, when I saw it in the main collection image I thought it was a butter dish but wanted it no less. Now I can make enchiladas in it instead of just putting out the butter.

This is the Communi-Grater. No, I'm not just calling it that. That's what it's called. It's $68 dollars, and I simply must acquire it. It needs to go right along with our Enterprise pizza cutter, and I will accept no substitute.

There's also Spock mugs and spoonrests and a host of other amazing, kitschy things I want to buy so damn bad.

Say you were a crazy Trekkie and wanted it all? It'd set you back 1578 dollars but that's a small price to pay to have amazing quality super nerdy cookware, I think. Hint hint, literally everyone who's planning on buying me a birthday or Christmas present.

If you're even a little geeked out by this and want to...engage in commerce...here's the link.

Make it so.
