Enameled Cast Iron Makes Its Niche In The Culinary World, Bringing Style, Quality And Affordability To Kitchens Across The World.

Out in France's northern area is the town of Fresnoy-Le-Grand, where Le Creuset cookware is hand-crafting fine enameled cast iron. The Le Creuset line of cast iron cookware boasts only the finest casts, materials and enameling process, which includes a hand polishing by scrutinizing experts. That in itself makes each piece a unique treasure, but to further its distinctiveness, each mold is destroyed after casting, and a new set is formed for the next casting. The iron pieces are then sanded, and completely polished by hand.  When the imperfections and subtleties are smoothed they are ready for the enameling process.

During the enameling process the pieces are sprayed twice with a high grade of porcelain enamel. After each coat they are fired in a very hot oven of approximately 800 degrees celsius. This long-proven process makes the enamel extremely hard and durable. Most of the final finishing is then carefully done by hand, giving each piece its own style and character.
