In the world of fine cuisine, few cookware companies stand out as much as Le Creuset. With a line of products including cast-iron, tri-ply stainless steel, and stoneware, it’s no surprise that chefs and cooking enthusiasts swear by Le Creuset.

When Le Creuset was founded, their initial production line was entirely cast-iron French ovens, but to say it has evolved since then is an understatement. Currently, Le Creuset offers brasiers, skillets & grills, sauce pans, cookware sets, roasters, and that old standby, the French oven, all forged in high-quality cast-iron. While cast-iron may weigh more than other materials, cast-iron also distributes heat more evenly and retains heat longer.

The Le Creuset line of tri-ply stainless steel cookware is, for lack of a better word, amazing. The tri-ply range currently consists of saucepans, fry pans, casseroles, nonstick, and sets. What makes tri-ply stainless steel unique is that it complements the unique qualities of cast-iron, such as having wonderful heat distribution and conduction. What makes tri-ply stainless steel cookware unique are the ergonomic handles, designed for minimum heat transfer, and the pan rim that prevents messy drips when pouring.

Last of the three, Le Creuset stoneware is truly a force to be reckoned with. With a wide product line including cooking and baking pieces, baking accessories, and specialty creations, it’s hard to imagine life without it. Each piece of Le Creuset stoneware is fired at over 2000 degrees for the utmost in durability. In addition, each piece is expertly enameled, allowing for a wide range of colors and an easy-to-clean surface. Lastly, Le Creuset stoneware is flavor and odor resistant, and won’t absorb moisture.
All in all, Le Creuset cookware is more than just a name, it’s an impressive array of cooking products, each one expertly constructed and sure to last a lifetime.
