Chef Jacques Pépin: I got Le Creuset pots, of course, when I first came to New York and we had an apartment. So we start buying pots to equip our kitchen. And we had a couple - of course - Le Creuset. I think one of them I may have passed to my daughter. Jacques' Daughter: I’m gonna cook. Chef Jacques Pépin: Today, you are the boss?

The First in Colorful Cookware

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 our signature color. Together, they created the basic production process we still use today at the original foundry in northern France.

The Finest in Quality and Design

Our emphasis on craftsmanship has held fast since 1925: Each piece of enameled cast iron is still individually cast in sand molds and carefully inspected by skilled artisans who share our commitment to heritage and authenticity. Over the decades, our assortment has expanded, and our legacy of innovation continues with thoughtful design details that make the cooking process and the final results even better.
