Le Creuset, which translates to "the crucible” in French, began creating cast iron cookware in 1925 in northern France. Le Creuset cast iron is still produced in the same foundry, with individual sand molds and hand inspections for each and every piece.
People who love cooking fine meals for family and friends appreciate this tradition of quality.
The story of Le Creuset is one of a superior product idea — enameled cast iron cookware — improved over time through innovations in technology, design and manufacturing. Over the years, this standard of quality has been directed toward a new range of kitchen products, like stainless steel cookware, forged hard-anodized nonstick cookware and stoneware dinnerware.
What began in 1925 as a collaboration between a casting specialist and enameling expert continues today as a joyful tradition for professional and amateur chefs in kitchens around the globe.
