Le Creuset
Le Creuset makes the world’s finest cast iron cooking ware. Bad memories of cast iron from summer camp? No fears, this is the high end cookware – enameled cast iron. I have a number of different sizes of these beauties and they are so great to cook with, and best of all they clean up very easily!
There are a number of key reasons why Le Creuset enameled cast iron cookware is the creme de la creme of cookware:
Adaptability. Le Creuset enameled cast iron is one of the only cookware materials that gives great cooking results and long lasting performance on all heat sources, including induction. If you change your range or stovetop, you do not have to change your pans. What I love about them is how well they adapt to either the over or the stove top.
Energy Efficient. Cast iron is a very energy efficient material that once hot, requires only a low heat setting to maintain a good cooking temperature. For many recipes you can actually remove the pot from the oven and allow the food to cook on its own.
Hygenic. Le Creuset cookware is made of a vitreous enamel cooking surface that is completely hygienic and impervious to acids and other chemicals. As well as for superior cooking functions it is perfect to hold foods that are marinating or for storing foods (raw or cooked) in the refrigerator or freezer.
Versatility. As already mentioned, this cast iron cookware can be utilized in the over or on top of the oven with equal ease.
Heat Retention. Le Creuset has its own all round heat retaining ‘blanket’. Because the base, side walls and lid are all of the same quality and thickness there are no areas where heat can be lost rapidly. Heat is lost very slowly from cast iron which means that once at the table the food will not cool down too fast.
Reputation. Le Creuset is consistently chosen by leading chefs, restaurateurs, and those who enjoy cooking; all of whom appreciate its performance, cooking advantages and style.
As the world’s leading manufacturer of enameled cast iron cookware, their reputation is unsurpassed. They maintain this position by excellence of quality, superior materials and innovative product design.
While expensive, Le Creuset makes a gift that will last for a lifetime. You can find good deals at the Le Creuset Outlet store at Woodbury Commons, or purchase safely through Amazon.com by browsing through their options at the top of this page.
No matter where you get your Le Creuset cookware you will be pleased with the quality, craftsmanship and versaitility of this outstanding line of products.


That enamel cast iron cookware is so decorative. They are great because not only do they cook excellent food (especially some good pot roast), but they add so much decoration just sitting in the kitchen. By looking at them, you would think they are so expensive, but they really aren’t all that bad – especially when you can find great deals online!
