Le Creuset Quality Standards
All products are repeatedly checked by hand during the manufacturing process to ensure they meet Le Creuset's strict quality standards. All enamel coatings used by Le Creuset comply with international regulations.

Enamel-coated cast iron is a remarkable, robust material that meets modern requirements for food preparation and cooking. Whether you're using cast iron for light searing, cooking stews, searing steaks, or baking cakes, there's always the right product form and size for the job.

Cast iron works reliably on all heat sources, even induction cooktops, and in all types of ovens or grills. Cast iron is excellent at retaining heat, which can be particularly useful when cooking at low temperatures on the stovetop or in the oven. Additionally, cast iron is ideal for serving: due to its heat retention, food stored in a covered cast-iron pot remains warm until the second course. Cast iron can also be used to keep cold dishes cool. A chilled cast-iron pot is the perfect place to store cold foods on a hot summer day. Cast iron items are also suitable for storing food in the freezer and for preparing meals in advance.

Use in the Oven

• Products with black phenolic lid knobs are suitable for oven temperatures of up to 200°C (390°F) or level 6 in gas ovens.
• Products with cast iron handles or stainless steel lid knobs can be used in the oven at any temperature.

Do not place cookware directly on the bottom of ovens with cast iron interiors, as this will increase the oven temperature and could lead to overcooking, damaging the food. Avoid dragging your cast iron cookware over the oven bottom to prevent potential damage. For optimal cooking results, always place cookware on a rack or baking sheet in the oven.

Cooking Temperatures

Light enamel is especially good for slow cooking on low heat and at medium oven temperatures. The best results for cooking, frying, and even sautéing are achieved at MEDIUM and LOW COOKING TEMPERATURES. Heat the cookware slowly and carefully to achieve even cooking results. Once the cookware is heated, all cooking can continue at a low setting. HIGH TEMPERATURES should only be used to heat water for vegetables or pasta, or to reduce the consistency of broths and sauces. Never use high temperatures to heat cookware, as it can cause overheating and affect the cooking results, leading to food sticking and discoloration. Always wait until the pores have closed before flipping the food, so it will release easily and not stick.

The best results when preparing your recipes and food are achieved by cooking at medium or low temperatures or waiting until oils/fats reach the right temperature. Never use high temperatures for heating if you plan to lower the heat for cooking afterward. High temperatures cause overheating and sticking, especially for delicate dishes like omelettes or other egg dishes. Cast iron retains heat so well that overheated products will lead to poor cooking results, causing food to stick and damaging the surface of the cookware.
