Le Creuset Heritage
Le Creuset has been making premium
quality enamelled cast iron cookware
since 1925 at its foundry in northern
France. Although the manufacturing
process has evolved, the secret recipe of
ingredients remains the same. Each piece
of cast iron is hand crafted and made from
an individual sand mould, so it is unique.
Molten iron is poured into the moulds
from a large cauldron called a 'Creuset'
then enamelled and fired at extremely
high temperatures to create a vibrant and
durable finish.
Because a number of the manufacturing
processes still rely on manual skills, each
piece has its own individuality and slight
variations in finish may occur. None of these,
however, alters the overall quality or cooking
performance of the product.
The vitreous enamel finish, which entirely
covers each piece, including rims, is extremely
durable and hygienic, but more important
offers the most versatility of use for food
storage, food preparation (including mari-
nating of ingredients) and cooking.
Le Creuset Quality
Every piece of cookware is manually ins-
pected several times during manufacture
to ensure the strictest quality standards
are maintained.
All the enamels used by Le Creuset
conform to current International standards.
COOKING WITH CAST
IRON
Enamelled cast iron is a remarkable and
robust material that fits well with modern
requirements for food preparation and
cooking. Whether you choose to stir-fry,
slow cook a casserole, sear a steak or bake
a cake, there is a shape that is suitable.
The efficiency and performance for either
slow cooking or higher temperature searing
is equally good.
Cast iron can be used reliably with any
heat source, including induction and with
any oven or grill.
It has the ability to retain heat efficiently
and this can be used to its advantage in
allowing lower settings to be used for
stovetop and oven cooking. At the table,
a hot covered dish will keep food hot for
second servings.
Cast iron can also be used to keep cold
foods cold. A refrigerator chilled dish and
its contents becomes an ideal cold food
server on a hot summer's day. It can also
be placed in the freezer for food storage,
or for advanced food preparation.
