Le Creuset

Inside every piece of Le Creuset cookware, there's more than an excellent meal. There's a story. A story of authentic French heritage, colorful culinary culture, and generations of passion in kitchens and beyond.

Since 1925, Le Creuset has been hand-crafting beautiful cookware that stands the test of time and is proud to hold family recipes, share in the joy of food, and bring generations to the table. And even prouder when that cookware becomes a cherished heirloom – not just in the hands of our artisans, but in yours.

In 1925, two Belgian industrialists – an enameling specialist and an expert in casting – were the first to enamel a cast iron cocotte. The fiery orange hue, inspired by the color of molten ore in a crucible or creuset, became Le Crueset's signature color. Together, they created the basic production process that they still use today at the original foundry in northern France. Le Creuset introduced a modern take on its original Flame color with the dazzling and glittering Flamme Doree to celebrate a century of craftsmanship.

These iconic and colorful Dutch ovens feature a lifetime warranty, and have become a favorite of cooks worldwide. Whether you're a professional chef or home cook, we're confident a Le Creuset Signature Dutch Oven will be the pride of your kitchen and a cherished family heirloom.
