Revered by both professional chefs and home cooks since its 1925 debut, Le Creuset's classic French cookware is prized for its utilitarian good looks, unsurpassed heat retention, and lids that create an even "blanket" of heat. Cast iron is clad in smooth enamel in a fiery flame hue, rendering each piece impervious to acid, alkali, odors and stains. Non-reactive cooking surface does not require seasoning. Compatible with all types of heat sources, from gas and electric stoves, to ceramic and glass cooktops, to induction and halogen. This Signature line features larger, easier to grip handles and a stainless steel knob.
