Le Creuset and the qualities of enameled cast iron
Founded in France in 1925, Le Creuset has become an international reference for enameled cast iron cookware. Its vintage pieces are today particularly valued for their durability, timeless aesthetics, and craftsmanship.

The cast iron has excellent thermal inertia: it absorbs heat and releases it gradually, promoting even and steady cooking. It is especially suited to slow cooking, terrines, pâtés, gratins, and stewed preparations.

The enamel, for its part, forms a protective surface that eases cleaning and prevents direct contact of foods with the iron. It also allows cooking acidic preparations without needing to season the vessel as with raw cast iron.
