Le Creuset's Star Trek collection is twelve pieces, and the question isn't whether they're real cookware (they are, every one of them) but how much you're paying for the ship. I priced each piece against the plain Le Creuset it's based on. The $500 Enterprise Dutch oven is only $45 over a plain 5.5 qt, and it includes a $50 knob. The $60 mini cocottes are $26 over a plain one, a 76% markup. So buy the cast iron, gift the small stuff, and move fast on what's left: the Galileo casserole and the oven mitt sold out in ten days.
Every Piece, And What The Plain Version Costs
This is the whole collection with the price of the closest plain Le Creuset next to it, taken from Le Creuset's own site. The Trek Tax column is the difference. Read it before you buy, because the markup runs from 10% on the Dutch oven to 76% on the cocottes, and there's no logic to it beyond "the small stuff is where the fun is."

It's backwards from what you'd expect. The $500 Enterprise Dutch oven is $45 more than the plain 5.5 qt in the same French Grey, and it ships with the Starfleet Delta knob that Le Creuset sells on its own for $50. Same math on the Klingon braiser: $50 over a plain 3.5 qt in Nuit, knob included. On the cast iron, the ship is roughly free.
The premium lives in the small pieces. A plain 8 oz mini cocotte is $34; the alien heads are $60 for 10 oz. A plain Signature spoon rest is $34; the Vulcan salute is $55. A plain knob is $30; the Starfleet one is $50. None of that makes them bad gifts, but if you're buying for yourself and you already own a Le Creuset spoon rest, you know what you're paying for.
The standard Signature 5.5 qt round Dutch oven, made in France in French Grey, with the NCC-1701 cast across the lid so it looks like the ship is coming out of the rings, more embossing inside the lid, and the gold Starfleet Delta knob on top. Same enameled cast iron, same limited lifetime warranty, same "please hand wash it" as every other Le Creuset. It's the piece the whole collection is built around, and at $45 over plain it's the one that makes the most sense to own.
Which Pieces You'd Actually Cook In
All of them, technically. Nothing in the collection is display-only, and Le Creuset didn't change the materials to make the shapes. But there's a difference between "can" and "will," so here's how I'd split it.
The cast iron is just cast iron. The Enterprise Dutch oven and the Klingon braiser are the Signature 5.5 qt and 3.5 qt, made in France, oven and induction safe, hand wash like all of Le Creuset's enameled iron. The design is on the lid, not the cooking surface, so a braise doesn't know it's in a starship. These are the two you'll use every week.
The stoneware works, with an asterisk. The Galileo casserole is a 1.7 qt covered baker, dishwasher-safe and oven-safe to 500 degrees, and the nacelles are on the lid where they don't get in the way. The mini cocottes are the odd ones: 10 oz stoneware pots where the lid is a sculpted alien face. You can bake a single pot pie or a crème brûlée in the Gorn, and it's dishwasher-safe, but let's be honest about why anyone's buying three.
The rest is kitchen jewelry. The Spock mug holds 14 oz and is hand wash only because of the real gold on the rim. The spoon rest is a stoneware Vulcan salute that holds a spoon exactly as well as a plain one. The Communi-Grater is a 6 in stainless grater that flips open like Kirk's communicator, with side buttons that change the angle, and it's the one piece that's more gadget than cookware. The oven mitt is a 15 in mitt in Starfleet blue, and it sold out before I could tell you whether it's any good.
The Trek Tax, Ranked
Same numbers as the table, lined up so you can see where the markup lives. Lower is better, and the two pieces at the top are the two you'd actually cook in.
The Galileo casserole isn't on the chart because the plain Heritage rectangular casserole runs $116 to $145 depending on size, which puts the $150 Galileo somewhere between a $5 and $34 premium. The Communi-Grater has no plain version at all.
Sellout Watch
- September 8, 2026The collection launches on lecreuset.com, the UK site and at Williams Sonoma, timed to Star Trek's 60th anniversary. It's Le Creuset's first Star Trek line, after Star Wars, Harry Potter, Pokémon and Wicked.
- September 18The Galileo Shuttlecraft casserole and the Live Long & Prosper oven mitt are out of stock at Le Creuset. The Dutch oven, braiser, all three cocottes, the mug, spoon rest, grater and both knobs are still available.
For what a Le Creuset collab does after it sells out, the 2019 Star Wars line is the reference point. The Han Solo carbonite roaster was $450 at launch and has since been listed at around $1,900 opened and $2,300 sealed, per Tasting Table. The Harry Potter line went the other way and ended up on sale. The Star Trek pieces most likely to follow the Han Solo path are the ones with a shape you can't get anywhere else, which is the Galileo and the cocottes, not the Dutch oven.
Who It's For
- You were going to buy a Le Creuset Dutch oven anyway. The Enterprise is $45 over plain and the knob alone is worth that.
- You're gift shopping for a Trekkie who cooks. The $35 mug and the $60 cocottes are the sweet spot, and they're the pieces that'll disappear.
- You already own Le Creuset and want the lid, not the pot. The $50 knob swaps onto any Signature lid.
- You collect the collabs. Two of twelve are gone in ten days, and Le Creuset's collabs don't reliably come back.
- You want the spoon rest for the spoon. A plain one is $34. The Vulcan salute is $55 for the same job.
- You'd never use a 10 oz cocotte. Three alien heads at $60 each is $180 of shelf.
- You're hoping it appreciates. The Star Wars roaster did; the Harry Potter line went on clearance. Don't buy cookware as an investment.
- You wanted the Galileo or the mitt. They're gone, and the honest move is the waitlist, not a resale listing.
If $500 Is A Lot For A Pot
Fair. The licensed Star Trek kitchen stuff on Amazon is a different tier entirely, but for a Trekkie stocking stuffer the Enterprise pizza cutter and the original-series dinnerware set do the job for a fraction of the price.
Le Creuset Star Trek FAQ
The Bottom Line: Buy the cast iron and gift the stoneware. The Enterprise Dutch oven and the Klingon braiser are the best value in the collection, because they're normal Le Creuset with a $45 to $50 upcharge and a $50 knob thrown in, and they're the two you'll cook in for twenty years. The cocottes, the spoon rest and the knobs carry a 60% to 76% Trek tax, which is fine for a gift and silly for yourself. And if you want any of it, don't wait for a sale: the Galileo and the mitt are already gone, and the alien cocottes are next.
