User questions & answers

Question:	Does it say "France" under the lid of this 5.5 qt. french oven
Answer:	This question interested me.Here is the answer I found on Le Creuset's Canadian website:"Is Le Creuset lead and cadmium free?Cadmium and lead are two elements under strict control in the cookware industry. Our position today for the entire production process is to be in compliance with California Proposal 65 which is the most rigid standard in the world for these elements (approx. 10 times lower than "acceptable" limits). Lead is NOT used in our recipes and for cadmium a special anti-acid enamel fritt is used which will not release the cadmium pigment during cooking. Cadmium is used for coloration purposes in achieving bright exterior colours such as Flame and Cherry. The interior enamel which makes contact with food is either sand, white, or black."
Question:	What is the bottom width
Answer:	I’m not an expert on this and I don’t know for sure but a few years ago I was in the lecruset outlet store and all the products were made in China. My older pots have an embossed made in France on bottom of pan. So if it says that it’s still made in France. I’ve heard of and I’m not sure if this is the case with lecruset but sometimes companies have less expensive products at the outlets where I saw everything made in China.
Question:	Is the inside glaze of the cookware lead and cadmium free
Answer:	8 3/4" deep w/o lid x 10 3/4" dia.
Question:	I was in Williams Sonoma last week and discovered some of LC is made in China. Why isn't this information clearly stated on Amazon
Answer:	The height on the 10qt pot is exactly 7 ¼”, without the lid. Both, 6qt and 10qt pots came with glass lids! There is no vent hole on the glass lid. (both were bought in 2018)

Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast-Iron Round Dutch Ovens

The iconic Le Creuset Dutch oven is indispensable in the kitchens of home cooks and professional chefs alike. Long recognized for its strength and durability, cast iron is the prime material for slow-cooking, braising and roasting, thanks to its ability to maintain even and consistent heat. The enameled Dutch oven needs no seasoning, and it’s suitable for both stove-top and oven use.

Cooking with cast iron

Enameled cast iron is a remarkable and robust material that performs well with modern requirements for food preparation and cooking. Whether you choose to stir-fry, slow-cook a casserole, sear a steak or bake a cake, there is a shape that is suitable. Cast iron performs well for either slow cooking or high-temperature searing.

Cast iron can be used reliably on any heat source, including induction, and with any oven or grill. It has the ability to retain heat efficiently, which allows for use of lower heat settings in stove-top and oven cooking. On the table, a hot covered dish will keep food hot for second servings.

Cast iron can also be used to keep foods cold. A chilled dish becomes an ideal cold food server on a hot summer day. It can also be placed in the freezer for food storage or advanced food preparation.

Heat recommendations

Le Creuset cast iron cookware can be used on all heat sources including gas, electric solid plate or radiant ring, vitro-ceramic glass, induction, and ovens fired by gas, oil, coal or wood. When using any glass-topped stove, always lift the pan when moving it; never slide it, as this may damage the stove-top or the base of the pan.

Always match the pan’s base size to the stove-top heat zone to maximize efficiency, and to prevent overheating of the pan sides or damage to the handles.

Gas flames must always be confined to the base area, and must never extend around the sidewalls of the pan. Long handles should be positioned safely where they do not hang over the front of the stove or other heat zones.

Cleaning and Care

Always cool a hot pan for a few minutes before washing.

Do not plunge a hot pan into cold water. While Le Creuset’s enamel is designed to be the most durable on the market, thermal shock may still occur, resulting in cracking or loss of enamel.

If there are food residues, fill the pan with warm water and let soak for 15 to 20 minutes before washing. A brush can be useful for removing small food deposits, or for cleaning between the ribs on grills. Do not use scourers or abrasive cleaners on the cooking surface. Nylon or soft abrasive pads or brushes can be used to remove stubborn residues.

To avoid damaging the enamel, do not use metallic pads or harsh abrasive cleaning agents.

Light stains or metal marks caused by metal tools can be removed with Le Creuset cookware cleaner. An occasional cleaning with this product will also retain the new appearance of your pans.

Never store pans while they are still damp. Store pans in a dry cupboard or airy space away from steam.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use broiler for this pan
Answer:	It’s made in France the cookware is by no means cheep but it’s the best cookware I’ve ever purchased. If your purchase the skillet get the rubber handle cover it does get hot. The skillet is heavier than traditional cookware but will last forever.
Question:	How heavy is it
Answer:	Both are made of cast iron and well suited for frying, baking, etc. Lodge pans need to be “seasoned” before first usage, and cleaned without soap. Le Creuset pans are pre-treated to be somewhat non-stick and can be washed with soap (but not in a dishwasher.) So, Le Creuset pans are a little easier to use. They are also very beautiful with their colorful enamel exteriors. That said, I have both Le Creuset and old fashioned iron skillets and love them for their individual strengths. If the price of Le Creuset is too high to suit you, the traditional iron skillets are just as useful!
Question:	In what country is this pan made
Answer:	yep
Question:	Can I use this exactly like a Lodge cast iron pan
Answer:	I have the 5 1/2 qt. pot. The bottom width is 8 inches. I love this size and enjoy cooking in it. It has been a great investment for me.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will it scratch a Staub grill pan
Answer:	I’ve successfully used this brush on both Staub and Le Creuset pots, both light and dark colored interiors, with no issues at all. The brush works particularly well on my grill pans. I bought two thinking one might wear out but 1.5 years later the first brush looks like new. I gave the second one to my daughter who is using it on her Staub grill pan (which cooks a great steak). I hope this helps.
Question:	Does this product come in orange
Answer:	The entire brush is plastic. That said, it is sturdy and well built and has performed well. We use this on all our cast iron (enameled and raw) and are pleased with it. The fact that it is plastic means it will not ding or chip the enamel on our pans.
Question:	Should this be used on the black interior enameled pots only
Answer:	I have the red set. Nothing stained as of yet. Been using the utensils a few times a week, but no staining.
Question:	What is the brush made from? Is the colored part plastic
Answer:	I do not

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this pan too heavy to pick up with 1 hand to scoop out dish with other hand
Answer:	9 1/2 inches.
Question:	Does this skillet work well on glass top electric ranges
Answer:	It is not a true non-stick pan but food sticks less to this pan than a regular metal pan. The trick with this pan is to patiently warm it up with a medium flame before adding anything to the pan. I ususally let the pan warm for at least 3-4 mins. I'm a cooking geek, so I actually use a pyrometer to get the pan to 300+ degrees before using it. I don't fry eggs in it. I use a true non-stick teflon pan for that.
Question:	What is the bottom diameter of this skillet (the part that touches the stovetop
Answer:	I use mine on Le Creuset skillets, pans, and all my Staub pans....with aggressiveness, and have experienced no problems at all, to include not scratching pans (I don't use on stainless steel). The little brush does a great job, is easy to clean up, and fairly low profile in our drawer that holds cleaning brushes.
Question:	does food stick to this pan easy

User questions & answers

Question:	What percentage chromium/nickel is this
Answer:	The product description states Professional grade. Not sure what that means, but can say it is very durable and works great. We would buy this again, fortunately, we don't have to.
Question:	Is the bottom flat, or concave
Answer:	It is stainless steal - there is no coating on it, you must use some sort of oil, butter, fat or something else to keep your food from sticking.
Question:	What grade stainless steel material
Answer:	The pan itself is about 7.5 lbs and if you can comfortable lift that for about 30-40 seconds with one hand then this won't be an issue. If you can't lift that weight comfortable, then you'll need to use two hands or have someone else help. So far, this hasn't been an issue for us and it is really a dream to cook in.
Question:	Is it nonstick
Answer:	Mine works fine. You want to avoid sliding the skillet across the glass. Mine has not scratched or created any problems. It heats fine as well.

Le Creuset Enameled Stoneware Collection

From indulgent desserts and comforting casseroles to freshly baked breads and more, Le Creuset’s quality bakeware ensures perfect results from the oven every time. Ideal for everything from sheet cake and lasagna to vegetables and roasts, these durable dishes feature a hard-wearing finish for lasting color and maximum protection against utensil damage.

Designed to stay beautiful with daily use, Le Creuset’s dinnerware brings elegant style to every table and occasion.

Getting Started

All items in the Le Creuset stoneware range are original designs and have been hand-crafted, making each piece unique. Due to this uniqueness, there may be slight variations from piece to piece.

Le Creuset Stoneware is safe for use in the microwave, freezer, refrigerator, dishwasher, oven and broiler. The maximum oven-safe temperature is 500°F / 260°C.

Getting Started

The enameled surface is easy to clean and scratch-resistant. The enamel is completely hygienic and will not absorb odors or flavors.

Le Creuset Stoneware is extremely strong and durable, and resists staining, chipping and cracking. The handles, knobs and rims have been designed for a secure, easy-to-hold grip.

Do not use any Stoneware piece on the stovetop or any other direct heat source.

Cleaning and care

Oven: Maximum oven-safe temperature is 500°F / 260°C. Use oven mitts for lifting at all times.

Broiler: When using under a broiler allow a gap of no less than 2 ½ inches between the rim of the dish and the heat source.

Microwave: Handles may become hot during prolonged microwave use, especially if the handles are enclosed with plastic wrap. Cover just the open top of the dish, leaving the handles exposed.

Freezer-To-Oven Use: Do not place a frozen dish of food in a preheated oven. Place the frozen dish in a cold oven and set the temperature, allowing the dish and oven to heat together. Before serving always check that the center of the food is completely and uniformly hot.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning: Before the first use, wash the dish in hot, soapy water, and rinse and dry thoroughly. For most day-to-day cleaning, cool the dish for a few minutes before washing and drying, or wash in the dishwasher, allowing the full cycle to complete. Never leave a dish fully immersed in water.

For removal of stubborn residues allow the dish to cool, fill with warm, soapy water and allow it to soak for 10 to 20 minutes. Wash in the usual way using a plastic brush or scouring pad if necessary.

Heating Tips

When filling the kettle with water, only fill water above the first layer of holes on the interior of the spout (see diagram on box for more information).

For efficient and safe boiling, always use burner a similar in size to the base of the kettle.

Cleaning and care

Do not bang the teakettle down onto a stove's surface or work surface. Repeated banging may damage the exterior enamel.

Do not place the kettle on the heat source without having water in the kettle. Never leave a teakettle simmering for long periods on any heat source; it may boil dry, which can result in overheating and damage to the base and enamel.

Do not leave water standing in a kettle when it is not in use. A buildup of scale may occur and reduce efficiency.

Cleaning and care

Before pouring from your teakettle, remove it from the burner and ensure the handle is in the upright position.

Le Creuset proudly uses heat-resistant plastic on our handles and whistles.

Never place in the dishwasher. To clean, simply hand-wash the kettle with hot, soapy water and dry thoroughly. A gentle kettle de-scaler may be used periodically if required.

Cooking with cast iron

Enameled cast iron is a remarkable and robust material that performs well with modern requirements for food preparation and cooking. Whether you choose to stir-fry, slow-cook a casserole, sear a steak or bake a cake, there is a shape that is suitable. Cast iron performs well for either slow cooking or high-temperature searing.

Cast iron can be used reliably on any heat source, including induction, and with any oven or grill. It has the ability to retain heat efficiently, which allows for use of lower heat settings in stovetop and oven cooking. On the table, a hot covered dish will keep food hot for second servings.

Cast iron can also be used to keep foods cold. A chilled dish becomes an ideal cold food server on a hot summer day. It can also be placed in the freezer for food storage or advanced food preparation.

Heat recommendations

Le Creuset cast iron cookware can be used on all heat sources including gas, electric solid plate or radiant ring, vitro-ceramic glass, induction, and ovens fired by gas, oil, coal or wood. When using any glass-topped stove, always lift the pan when moving it; never slide it, as this may damage the stovetop or the base of the pan.

Always match the pan’s base size to the stovetop heat zone to maximize efficiency, and to prevent overheating of the pan sides or damage to the handles.

Gas flames must always be confined to the base area, and must never extend around the sidewalls of the pan. Long handles should be positioned safely where they do not hang over the front of the stove or other heat zones.

Cleaning and Care

Always cool a hot pan for a few minutes before washing.

Do not plunge a hot pan into cold water. While Le Creuset’s enamel is designed to be the most durable on the market, thermal shock may still occur, resulting in cracking or loss of enamel.

If there are food residues, fill the pan with warm water and let soak for 15 to 20 minutes before washing. A brush can be useful for removing small food deposits, or for cleaning between the ribs on grills. Do not use scourers or abrasive cleaners on the cooking surface. To avoid damaging the enamel, do not use metallic pads or harsh abrasive cleaning agents.

Light stains or metal marks caused by metal tools can be removed with Le Creuset cookware cleaner. An occasional cleaning with this product will also retain the new appearance of your pans. Le Creuset enameled cast iron is extremely durable but it may be damaged if accidentally dropped or knocked against a hard surface.

Product description

The Signature Deep, Round grill Pan gives all the delicious flavor of an outdoor grill, with all the convenience of indoor cooking. Closely spaced ridges provide more support for delicate food, like fish or vegetables, while allowing excess fat and grease to drain. The interior surface of a Le Creuset skillet is finished with a matte black enamel that eliminates the need for the traditional seasoning and maintenance of raw cast iron. Specially formulated for high surface temperature cooking, the enamel develops a natural patina over time that is ideal for searing, sauteing and frying.

• Colorful exterior enamel is shock-resistant to prevent chipping and cracking
• Matte black interior enamel is specially formulated for higher temperatures, and promotes the development of a patina to enhance cooking performance
• Signature side handles provide a balanced grip
• High ridges keep ingredients out of fat and spouts on two sides allow for drip-free pouring
• Deeper side walls designed to contain splatter

User questions & answers

Question:	Are there Silcon handles for le creuset pots
Answer:	Will what stick to the pan? Food? With any of the cast iron pans (this brand or others), and if coated with ceramic or not, you MUST pre-heat. The instructions tell you to do this. If you put something into a cast iron or ceramic finished pot/pan without pre-heating, then yes food will stick - especially food with any type of fat (meat) and be certain to pre-heat prior to putting any oil in the pan. I LOVE this pan - I'll probably buy another one even larger. I have eight pieces of LeCreuset that I have purchased over the last four years and this is one of my favorites. Good Luck and Happy and Healthy cooking.
Question:	How deep is the pan
Answer:	I don't think so. Mine is pretty smooth all-around.
Question:	Will it stick to the pan
Answer:	interior is off white. high shine porcelain. outside is also high shine.
Question:	Is it normal to have missing enamel on top rim? Mine has many spots
Answer:	I would think traditionally red - but I have different pieces in different colors, but I also have fiestaware dishes, so I mix and match colors in my kitchen- I am not locked into one color.

Cooking tips for grilling

Grills may be preheated to reach a hot surface temperature for searing and caramelization. This advice does not apply to any other products.

For correct grilling and searing, it is important that the cooking surface is sufficiently hot before cooking begins. Sear lines from ribbed grills will not be produced if the pan surface is too cool, or if the food is too wet. Place the empty pan on medium heat and allow it to heat for several minutes. Do not add oil to the cold pan—the oil may become too hot and smoke.

Take a few drops of water on your fingers and scatter over the hot surface. If they sizzle and evaporate almost immediately it is hot and ready for use. If the water produces steam and has no sizzle, heat the pan a little longer and repeat the water test again. When the surface is hot enough, lightly oil it with cooking spray or brush it with oil using a Le Creuset silicone basting brush. Vegetable, ground nut or corn oils are recommended. Olive oil may cause excessive smoking.
