As we discussed last week, there are many ways to set a farmhouse-inspired dinner table. Whether you lean traditional or modern, the underlying feel of the design aesthetic tends to encapsulate a simple, chic, and cozy feel.

Typically, the modern farmhouse style is a combination of traditional farmhouse characteristics—brass accents, exposed woods, and antique pieces—with more modern touches, like glossy finishes, darker industrial metals, and soft, clean lines. From there, you can have even more fun by adding intentional pops of color, textures, or patterns—even with your cookware.

The newest fall arrivals in our Shop offer easy ways to incorporate farmhouse-inspired pieces to your kitchen roster, be it through gleaming copper skillets, colorful bakeware, or wood-handled pans like our newest collab with Le Creuset. Keep reading for nine of our favorite fall cookware pieces that'll look great from your stovetop or oven straight to your table.


1. Le Creuset Alpine Enameled Cast-Iron Wooden-Handle Skillet, $230

Thanks to its wooden handle, this Le Creuset skillet is the picture-perfect example of a cookware piece meant for a farmhouse-inspired home. Brought back from the archives through an exclusive partnership between Food52 and Le Creuset, it's made of enameled cast iron, comes in eight colors (remember: just because modern farmhouse typically highlights soft neutrals doesn't mean you have to strictly follow it), and features a beechwood handle that stays cool while cooking.

2. Staub Enameled Cast Iron Traditional Deep Skillet, 11", $357 $180

Everyone should have at least one piece of cast-iron cookware they love and this Staub skillet is a great one to consider. It's a more traditional take on the typical fry pan—meaning it’s got higher, straighter sides that let it double as a sauté pan—and comes in nine different colors that will look beautiful on both your stove and your table (just be sure to put a trivet down!).

3. Vermicular Lightweight Japanese Cast-Iron Frying Pan, $45+

In case you didn't read about all the reasons we love this cast-iron frying pan, we'll give you a second to catch up. Light as a feather, great for frying, sizzling, and searing, and pretty enough to take up a spot on the table? It doesn't get much better.

Psst! Do you prefer an oven-safe alternative? Check out this pan's oven-safe twin.

4. Smithey Cast-Iron Chef's Skillet, $110+

This cast-iron skillet will effortlessly add a rustic touch to your kitchen and table. It's made from a beautifully bronzed cast iron with a satin-smooth polished interior that offers a naturally nonstick surface when seasoned. Looks aside, it's also a workhorse in the kitchen. Whether you're frying up eggs, searing a steak, or making a skillet dessert, it's got your back.

5. M'200 B Copper Saucepan, $365+

This saucepan from Mauviel is a combination of three metals: copper, stainless steel, and bronze. While you might be wondering why exactly the combination was needed, it all boils down to efficiency. The lightning-fast copper on the outside helps with quick heating, the stainless steel on the inside helps with easy cleaning, and the beautiful bronze handles add to its style.

6. M'200 B Copper Stock Pot, $855

If you're on the copper cookware wave but would prefer a stock pot over a saucepan, this 6.2-quart copper pot is calling your name. Similar to its saucepan sister, this gem features a copper exterior, stainless steel interior, and brass handle and is compatible with all surfaces except induction. It's a timeless piece that will transfer seamlessly from your stovetop to your table, blending in with any modern-farmhouse table design.

7. Vermicular Japanese Cast-Iron Oven Pot, $150+

This cast-iron oven pot is one we couldn't forget to mention. It has a precision-fitting lid that locks in moisture, is ultra-durable thanks to its cast-iron make, has an enameled finish that doesn't need to be seasoned, and has ridges on the base to help with evenly circulating the heat. And, of course, it's pretty as can be. Choose between five sizes and four colors to find the perfect fit for your kitchen.

8. French Ceramic Rectangular Baking Dish, $70 $50+

Whether you're roasting vegetables, baking a crumble, or getting salmon to the perfect level of fall-off-your-fork flakiness, this baking dish is one you can rely on. The cherry on top? They're gorgeous, too. Made in the same factory where Manufacture de Digoin started in 1875, these dishes have glossy trims and interiors (choose between white or sage) and come in medium or large. Thanks to the raw-ceramic bottom, it fights right into the neutrals and clean lines synonymous with farmhouse style, too.

9. Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast-Iron Bread Oven, $300

What's better than a crisp loaf of fresh artisan bread? This vibrant bread baker is a fantastic way to add a pop of color to your table.
