History - Le Creuset was founded in 1925 by Armand Desaegher and Octave Aubecq, who met the previous year at the Brussels Fair. The foundry was built in Fresnoy-Le-Grande in Aisne, France. The location was chosen because of its access to trade routes that would bring coal, iron, and other base materials for the production of their new products. The first Le Creuset cocotte was manufactured. Available in an extensive range of inspiring colours including the iconic Volcanic, a sea of blues, vibrant Ultra Violet or classic neutrals with Flint Grey and Meringue, you can complement your kitchen and dining room decors beautifully. Le Creuset is a world-renowned French cookware company specializing in cast iron and porcelain enamel cookware. The company was founded in 1925 by Octave Mouret as a small stove foundry but has since grown to be an international brand with over 150 retail stores worldwide.

Silicone Tools - The iconic brand specialises in many forms of kitchenware, not just pans and cookware. They provide silicone tools, such as the cool tray, which provides you somewhere safe to put your casserole dish or other pan once you take it off the heat. Spatulas, basting brushes, and spoon spatulas are just some of the other items that they also manufacture and that you can buy for your kitchen and dining room experience.

Color can be more than just a personal preference. Some people collect Le Creuset items in a specific color because it holds sentimental value or to match their kitchen decor. Tips for Shopping and Care Our collection includes all of Le Creuset's most popular products, such as stainless steel pans, stoneware and cast iron casseroles. Once the cast iron pots have been cast, they receive two coats of enamel that help ensure that the pan heats more evenly. Le Creuset colors have been discontinued over the years. These colors can become collector’s items, and as someone is always sad to see them go, there are ways to find the pieces you want.

We recommend using Le Creuset Silicone Tools or wooden/heat-resistant plastic tools. Metal utensils may be used with care but they should not be used harshly or scraped over the cooking surface as this may cause damage The attractive looks of Le Creuset products mean that they are ideal as gift solutions for family members and loved ones too. Accessories like mugs, tools, and textiles also make great gift ideas. They are available in a wide range of colours and styles, including the now iconic volcanic orange design, allowing to you to buy gifts for existing owners that match existing collections and pieces.Cooking on a medium or low heat gets the best results — even for frying and searing. Let the product heat up gradually for great tasting food that’s cooked evenly. If you do need to use a higher heat, lower the setting once the desired heat has been reached. To clean, avoid using metal utensils, which can scratch the enamel. Hand washing is recommended, though they are technically dishwasher safe.
