Le Creuset is focused on inspiring and empowering people everywhere to make joy through cooking. From our original enamelled cast iron cookware to stoneware, stainless, silicone and more, Le Creuset has grown to offer products across a range of materials and categories that guarantees the right tool for the right job.

At the turn of the twentieth century, a new global perspective on cuisine began to dawn. Chefs paused in their kitchens to reconsider the courses they were serving. Traditional attitudes about cooking and dining fell away. Eating became both the expression and the pursuit of pleasure.

At last, eating was no longer just a necessity or a status symbol, but a joy.

Dining, once a private activity, went public, and suddenly people experienced the delight of sharing a delicious meal in the company of friends. They remembered the marvellous dishes they tasted at restaurants; they went home to their own kitchens, eager to experiment and replicate. Soon, cooking became a way to connect with loved ones, a reason to gather together at the table. And in the midst of all the culinary innovation and change, Le Creuset introduced the first vibrant, Flame-coloured enamelled cast iron cocotte in 1925. This ground-breaking cocotte took a kitchen staple—cast iron cookware—and refined it, making it more functional, more beautiful and deeply joyful.
