Why Le Creuset is So Beloved

Le Creuset could easily be considered heirloom cookware. The reasons people love this line are many.

• Cast iron comes with its own set of unique benefits. It retains heat, cooks low and slow or sears as you wish, offers Dutch oven capabilities when lidded and adds traces of iron to your diet.
• The enamel coating of Le Creuset pots and pans make these pieces outstanding and instantly recognizable. Candy colors like Caribbean blue or cherry red pair with Williams Sonoma exclusives, like a daffodil-inspired yellow or a creamy white called Meringue.
• These cookware pieces can be used on ceramic, induction, electric and gas ranges, plus the interior of ovens. Even the knobs on the lids are heatproof up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Choosing Your Le Creuset Pots and Pans

Discover a full range of pots and pans to stock your kitchen. Start with the basics and then build your collection to include all the specialty pieces you love. When you see new styles you want, use them to inspire your culinary prowess.

• The Dutch oven is probably this French brand's most signature piece. Most people recognize the mid-depth pot with two handles on the side and a matching lid with heatproof knob. The interior of this piece is enameled for easy cast iron cleaning and an oven-to-table aesthetic.
• Select a shallow fry pan for all your simple sautés or even a light stir fry. Make pancakes, heat up leftovers and more with this basic pan.
• Expand your cookware with grill pans. These flat cast iron pieces have textured ridges to mirror the lines of a grill. The design lets fat pool underneath food for healthy cooking while maintaining a char-grilled taste you love.

Curating A Le Creuset Set for Your Kitchen

Once you fall for these pieces, you'll want them all. Shop one by one or indulge in an entire set at once, consisting of cast iron and stoneware pieces for cooking, braising and baking. Make everything about cooking special with this fine cookware.
