Manufacturer's Description
Le Creuset cast iron cookware is in a class of it's own. Every piece is individually crafted and passes through more than thirty pairs of craftsmens' hands. Made at the famous Le Creuset foundry in Fresnoy-Le-Grand, Northern France and favoured by restaurateurs and celebrity chefs each cast iron pot comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Highest Quality Vitreous Enamel
All Le Creuset cast iron products are coated with the highest quality vitreous enamel. The hygienic impermeable enamelled surface means Le Creuset can be used for marinating food prior to cooking or for food storage after cooking.

Heat Sources
Le Creuset enamelled cast iron cookware can be used on the stovetop, in the oven and under the grill. Le Creuset is suitable for use on all heat sources including electric, gas, ceramic, halogen top and induction.

Heat Distribution and Retention
Cast Iron is a superior conductor of heat. The even thickness of the base, walls and lid means that heat distribution is even and energy efficient. Furthermore, the heat retention properties of the pieces are second to none, ensuring that the pot stays hot for second helpings.

Energy Efficient
Le Creuset cast iron is an efficient material in absorbing and distributing heat, therefore, there is no need to use high heat. Best cooking results are obtained on low to medium settings; using Le Creuset on high settings may result in enamel chipping.

Table Use
Le Creuset is stylish enough to be taken straight from the kitchen to the table where its wide choice of colour coordinate with almost any home décor.
