How Do You Pronounce Le Creuset?
Le Creuset is a French word that's pronounced "luh-CROO-say," with the emphasis on the middle syllable. The French word "Creuset" means "crucible." Le Creuset, founded in 1925 in France, makes cookware, bakeware, glassware and other kitchen products.
Where Is Le Creuset Made?
Le Creuset's original foundry in Fresnoy-le-Grand, France, produces all of the company's cast iron cookware. The city is located in northern France.
What Is Le Creuset Made of?
Le Creuset offers a range of kitchen products. Here's the rundown on the materials used:
How Do You Clean Your Le Creuset?
Le Creuset offers different cleaning tips based on the product.
Cleaning Cookware
All Le Creuset Cookware is best-cleaned by first allowing the pan to cool. Never plunge a hot pan into cold water. While most items can be placed in the dishwasher, we recommend hand washing to prevent surface damage.
If there is food residue, fill the pan with hot, soapy water. Use nylon or soft abrasive pads to remove stubborn residue rather than metallic pads or harsh cleaning agents. Then rinse clean with water and dry thoroughly. Never put products away wet.
Here is more specific advice on each type of cookware:
For nonstick cookware, if you do clean it in the dishwasher, you'll need to re-condition the surface with vegetable or corn oil before the next use. Do this by rubbing a film of oil over the entire surface using paper towels or another soft towel. Then rinse with hot water and dry thoroughly.
Combat surface dulling or white deposits by carefully cleaning the areas with a gentle nylon pad and detergent.
For stainless steel cookware, use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner to condition the surface if it gets dull or marked up.
Enameled steel stockpots and kettles should not be washed in the dishwasher. Hand wash them as noted above, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Remember not to submerge stockpots in water as it may become trapped and create rust. Also, dry kettles thoroughly before storing, as otherwise scale buildup may occur and reduce efficiency.
Cleaning Bakeware
Ceramic stoneware is dishwasher-safe, but it can also be washed with warm, soapy water. Use a plastic brush or scouring pad if necessary to remove stubborn residue. Never leave a dish fully immersed in water. Use the same process for ceramic stoneware dishes.
Nonstick metal bakeware is not dishwasher-safe and should be cleaned only after it cools. Use warm, soapy water to clean. If desired, let it dry in a warm oven for a few minutes to remove moisture from inside the rim.
Can Le Creuset Go in the Oven?
Most Le Creuset cooking products are oven-safe and microwave-safe. See specific product information below.
Enameled Cast Iron Cookware
These products are safe for use with all heat sources. However, products with wooden handles should not be placed in the oven. Also, the black phenolic lid knobs on Signature range products are heat resistant to only 500 degrees Fahrenheit, and those on Classic range products to only 390 degrees Fahrenheit.
Also, do not place any cookware on the floors of ovens with cast iron linings, as this will increase the cooking temperature inside the oven, which could have detrimental effects on the food. For best results, always use oven shelves or racks.
Nonstick Cookware
Le Creuset nonstick pans are oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. However, maintain a maximum distance of two inches from the heat source when using the broiler.
