Le Creuset

If stainless steel cookware is not your priority, Le Creuset, one of the most popular cast iron cookware brands might tickle your interest. Being world-renowned for both retaining tradition and authenticity, Le Creuset was initially founded in Fresnoy-le-Grand, Aisne, Picardy at the crossroads of transportation routes for iron, coke, and sand, the “Volcanic orange” color on its products made its debut in 1925.

Le Creuset cookware is characterized by superior aesthetics and durability. It has been offering not only a variety of standard colors such as bright and muted, but it also partners with major kitchenware retail brands such as William-Sonoma to offer unique “exclusive” colors and eye-catching products. While cast iron is heavy, it is sturdy and can withstand anything, giving users confidence in its design and warranty.

One note-worthy point of Le Creuset cookware is to hand-coat two layers of enamel, which explains why cookware from this brand is reliable and long-lasting. The exterior coating provides extra protection which shields the wares from any physical damage when in use. Apart from being remarkably durable and chip-resistant, enameled cast iron is incredibly easy to clean. Simply using a sponge can easily take leftovers away. Besides, with roughly 120 hours for each spot to be made, involving a 12-step finishing process that is implemented by 15 different people, Le Creuset reaches perfection with no room for mistakes.
