Le Creuset is synonymous with well-made enamel-coated cookware that lasts. Aside from its longevity, what fans like myself love about the brand is its array of color options for its cast-iron Dutch ovens, skillets, ceramic baking dishes and more. The brand goes well beyond primary colors and uses dynamic shades inspired by foods and locations. The brand recently announced that it's discontinuing its Caribbean blue color and is currently discounting the entire color lineup for 20% off. Learn more below. Deal of the Day: This cast-iron Dutch oven is available in 4.5-, 5.5- and 7.25-quart options. Thanks to its enamel coating and cast-iron material, it distributes heat extremely well, which helps evenly cook food, especially lean meat and poultry. Plus, I find that enamel-coated cast-iron pots work best for soups and stews, since they simmer faster and more evenly. The lid's shape helps baste food with steam as it cooks, which prevents food from drying out. It also has a loop handle on each side and it's compatible with all cooktops, according to the brand. Bakers of all skill levels will benefit from the 9 inch x 13 inch rectangular casserole dish. It's made of stoneware, instead of cast iron with an enamel coating, and it's just as ideal for cooking lasagna as it is brownies. It has handles on each side and comes with a stoneware lid, so you don't have to rely on using aluminum foil as a cover. It's also safe to put in the fridge or freezer so you can transfer meal prepped items directly to the oven. With fall weather fast approaching, it's time to trade in frozen desserts for pies and baked goods. This stoneware pie dish has a 1.3-quart capacity and is scratch resistant and non-reactive. What I love most about the pie dish, though, is that the fluted edge eliminates one important and challenging step in pie-making, which is using your hands to make the crust look semi-presentable. With this dish, it basically does half the work.

Cats keep drowning in Amsterdam's canals — so the city came up with a clever plan to save feline lives

Amsterdam isn't kitten around. The capital of the Netherlands is known for its scenic canals — so cherished that they've been selected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But the iconic canals paired with Amsterdam's narrow streets have long put the city's feline friends at risk. Advertisement 3 Amsterdam's canals have posed a safety risk for the city's cats. E. M. Winterbourne – In the past six months alone, 19 cats have sadly drowned in a canal — six of them in the city center, according to animal welfare organization Dierenambulance Amsterdam. To keep their cats safe from drowning, Amsterdam is installing small wooden staircases along the canals so cats can escape if they tumble down and can't get back up the high walls. Advertisement The city has allocated €100,000 (about $116,400 USD) on the initiative, the Independent reported. Judith Krom from the Party for the Animals (PvdD), a political group that advocates for animal rights and welfare, put forth the spending proposal, noting that 'a simple measure can prevent enormous animal suffering.' On July 10, the Amsterdam City Council voted in favor of Krom's motion. 3 Amsterdam is installing small wooden staircases along the canals so cats can escape if they tumble down. Maria Vonotna – Advertisement 'The adopted motion demonstrates that as a city, we take responsibility for protecting the lives of animals,' Krom said. The city will work with Dierenambulance to determine what areas cats are most likely to face drowning before building the steps. The small animal escape routes will be installed at the most high-risk locations later this year. 3 The small animal escape routes will be installed at the most high-risk locations later this year.

Maggie Ruitenberg from the local feline information cente, Katten Kenniscentrum, told Dutch daily Volkskrant that the city's cats can accidentally fall into canals when they get startled, per Euro News. 'A ladder can really save their life, as long as there are enough of them,' she said. Amsterdam's feline safety measures come after a nearby city, Amersfoort, announced it will be building around 300 cat traps along its quays and canals.

Woman Shows Difficulty Of Being Working Mom In America

Bringing home a new baby is tough enough, but the current United States parental leave policy can make things even more difficult. The US only guarantees 12 weeks of unpaid parental leave via Family and Medical Leave (FMLA) — with restrictions about the company's size and the employee's tenure — leaving new parents to determine if they can afford extra time with their newborn or to recover after birth. So it's no surprise that brookiethecookie, aka @adayinaeats on TikTok, recently went viral with a video in which she shared just how difficult the life of a working mother in the US can be. In the video, she can be seen crying at her desk, with a text overlay that says, "me at work because I'm watching my baby sit up for the first time through the monitor." "Being a working mom is so much harder than I could've imagined. Missing the milestones just breaks me," she said in the caption. Many commenters were immediately supportive and understanding. "One year of paid federal maternity leave NEEDS to be the standard. I'm glad women are getting louder about this, it's a huge issue," said one. "The US needs to figure something out bc being a parent in this country is so unfair." "The US is cruel to families. Every other developed nation has figured out the balance." "USA is a third world country in a Gucci belt." "It's crazy how a country can be so obsessed with controlling pregnancy but won't support moms after birth..." The conversation made its way over to Twitter (now X), where people discussed parental leave in other nations. "I'm on an 18-month paid leave through the government," said one person, alongside Canadian flag emojis. "In Scandinavian countries a year of parental is granted to both parents." Some commenters argued that this was a signal that moms shouldn't be working, period, and should be stay-at-home mothers if they have children. "Proof that marrying a good provider man is a flex. Being a girl boss isn't." "the government isn't responsible to give you time with your child. this is why choosing a good husband who allows you to be a stay at home mother is so important," another person said. "Ladies: Marry a provider husband so you can raise your kids." But others fought back, saying raising a family on one income wasn't affordable these days in America, and that it's important for women to pursue their careers as well. "sure, go ahead, please you guys show us how you provide for a full family with one salary in this economy," one person said. "we need women in universities in the workforce in positions of authority n power. that being said paid maternity leave until your baby is kindergarten age shld be a given." Another commenter pointed out that this isn't just a problem for moms; it's tough on all parents. "men want to see their babies firsts too and get upset about this EXACT SAME THING," they said. And finally, this person summed up the whole discussion pretty succinctly: "America core." Now I'd love to know: if you're a working parent, what are your thoughts on the S's parental leave policies? What do you think would be an ideal amount of time to take off for new parents? And if you're not in the US, what is the parental leave like where you live? Let us know in the comments. And if you'd prefer to remain anonymous, you can fill out the form below.
