Le Creuset Cast Iron

Le Creuset™ has been making superb, award winning cookware since 1925 and that tradition of proud craftsmanship remains to this day.

Each individual item is crafted from a unique mould into which molten iron is poured from a large cauldron (called a creuset). This process creates a unique piece, each with its own style and identity.

The piece is then hand finished and subjected to strict quality checks. Finally, the cast iron is enamelled at extremely high temperatures resulting in that vibrant lustre and rock-hard finish which looks so great in the home.

The smooth enamel finish of Le Creuset cast iron is extremely durable and hygienic. Everything you stew, simmer or braise in a Le Creuset piece will taste just as good as you intended. It also means your dishes will keep looking good from the hob to the oven, from the oven to the table (and from the table to the dishwasher).

Le Creuset offers a lifetime guarantee on all cast iron (except non-stick items which carry a 10-year guarantee). You'll notice the difference as Le Creuset cast iron is 9 percent lighter than that of its leading competitor and with a perfectly flat base it's ideal for all hobs including glass and ceramic. It also distributes heat more evenly ensuring there are no ‘hot spots’.

The enamel cooking surface is completely hygienic and impervious to flavours and odours. It is perfectly suited to hold foods that are marinating or for storing foods (raw or cooked) in the refrigerator or freezer. The interior can be easily cleaned by hand or by dishwasher.

Whether you are sauteing, grilling, baking, roasting or stewing there is a pot, pan or dish to suit your needs.
Most pieces can go on the oven, in the oven or under the grill and if you ever change your cooking hob, you won't have to change your pans. Le Creuset cast iron performs excellently with ceramic, halogen or induction hobs, gas, electric, solid fuel, Aga or Rayburn.
