Le Creuset Cookware Characteristics

Since 1925, Le Creuset's premium cookware has been fashioned in France from porcelain enamel cast iron, giving it a durable weight and a beautiful finish. The benefits to this cookware's construction are many:

• Cast iron distributes heat evenly and requires cooking with only low to medium temperatures
• Cookware is for use with gas, electric, induction, or ceramic ranges
• Flat cookware bottoms sit firmly on heat surface
• Thin shell casings are light but strong
• Porcelain enamel coating is easy to clean and won't absorb odors or flavors
• Lids seal in moisture and flavor
• Knobs are heatproof up to 450 degrees F

Le Creuset Bakeware

Le Creuset's Blue Mist bakeware is made from 100 percent FDA-approved silicone, which is hygienic and totally food-safe--it will not absorb or leach odors or flavors. The bakeware is designed for use in the oven, microwave, and freezer, and because of its thermal shock-resistant construction, it can be taken straight from the freezer and placed into a hot oven, making it incredibly versatile and handy in the kitchen.

The Story of Le Creuset

Le Creuset's fine porcelain-enamel cookware has been manufactured in the small French village of Fresnoy-le-Grand since 1925. Chefs worldwide value Le Creuset's elegance and performance, especially the way the cast-iron core distributes heat throughout the enamel. Gourmets find the complete, basic, nearly indestructible cookware set worth the expense; other cooks may enjoy the same sturdy construction merely for a specialty dish, such as the witty red heart-shaped 2-quart casserole, perfect for a Valentine's Day meal. Other niche devices, such as teakettles, fondue sets, and pâté terrines, are instant heirlooms when given as gifts (even if the gift stays at home). Le Creuset offers versatility: metal handles allow Le Creuset pots to survive the oven as well as the stovetop, and their refined designs and colors are appealing on the table. Any enamel construction can chip, but such is Le Creuset's confidence in its enameled cast-iron pans that they carry a lifetime limited warranty against defects.
