Oh My Gourd: 8 Fabulous Fall Pieces to Welcome Pumpkin Season

With September speeding by, now is the time to embrace all things fall. That means it’s time to dust off the Halloween decorations, pick up a pumpkin or two, and watch from your window as the leaves change color each day at a time. But there’s no reason why you can’t bring the season into your kitchen and onto your dining room table, too: Our Shop is stocked with so many fall favorites, from the newly arrived, autumn-themed baking pans from Nordic Ware to pumpkin-shaped cocottes from brands like Staub and Le Creuset. Not sure where to start? Here are eight festive pieces of cookware and decor to bring all the fall feels to your home.

1. Nordic Ware Harvest Bounty Loaf Pan

To make this year’s pumpkin loaves extra festive, bake them in this Harvest Bounty Pan from Nordic Ware: It’s decorated with pinecones, pumpkins, and acorns, and will make any loaf cake or quickbread you bake look instantly fall-ready, with no extra effort on your part.

2. Le Creuset Stoneware Pumpkin Baker With Lid

This pumpkin-shaped stoneware baker is perfect for fall but functional enough to reach for year-round. The decorative lid fits tightly on the dish, which means it’ll lock in moisture—resulting in tender, steamy braises.

3. Velvet Decorative Pumpkins

They’re not exactly cookware, but there’s no fall table that wouldn’t benefit from a few of these elegant, velvet pumpkins. Handmade in Oregon, each one even features a real pumpkin stem for an extra unique finish.

4. Nordic Ware Haunted Manor Bundt Pan

Is there a better way to celebrate the spooky season than with a cake that looks like a haunted house? Unlike the more common gingerbread house, this architecturally inspired confection doesn’t require any assembly—just pour in your batter and bake.

5. Staub Cast-Iron Pumpkin Cocotte

This cast-iron cocotte from Staub is the ultimate kitchen-to-table piece. The outside features a super glossy, enameled finish, vibrant orange color, and a playful brass stem as a handle. The inside, meanwhile, is made of a rough cast iron, which ensures deep, even browning and heat retention.

6. Fall Dill Wreath

Welcome guests to your door with a fall-themed wreath from Creekside Farms in Greenfield, Calif. This one is especially pretty, with a warm palette composed of dried dill, thistle, safflower, and wheat.

7. Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron Pumpkin Casserole

Want a slightly updated take on classic pumpkin cookware? Rather than the usual orange, this casserole dish from Le Creuset comes in pale blue, white, or dark green, which gives the piece a more modern feel.

8. Nordic Ware Pumpkin Patch Bundt Pan

Your loaf cakes are already fall-ified (see #1!), so why not upgrade your bundt cakes, too? Plus, this piece is backed by a lifetime warranty, so you’re guaranteed to be making autumn-ready cakes for many seasons to come.
