Cast iron can also be used on all heat sources, including Aga’s
and induction hobs. It can withstand temperatures up to 190
degrees Celsius. It’s excellent heat retention qualities mean
that only low to medium heats are needed to ensure even heat
distribution.
Le Creuset Cast Iron
Hand made in France since 1925, each piece is made from a unique
mould into which molten iron is poured, this creates a unique
piece, which is, then hand finished and subjected to strict
quality checks. Le Creuset offers a lifetime guarantee on all
cast iron (except non-stick items which carry a 10-year
guarantee). You will feel the difference as our cast iron is 9
percent lighter than the leading competitor and with a perfectly
flat base it is great for all hobs including glass and ceramic.
It also distributes heat more evenly ensuring there are no ‘hot
spots’.
Hygienic
The enamel cooking surface is completely hygienic and impervious
to flavours and odours. It is perfect to hold foods that are
marinating or for storing foods (raw or cooked) in the
refrigerator or freezer. The interior is a smooth gloss finish in
a sand colour. The interior will clean easily by hand or by
dishwasher.
Adaptability

Aga/Rayburn Le Creuset cast iron will work excellently on all.
Whether you are sauteing, grilling, baking, roasting or stewing
there is a pot, pan or dish to suit your needs. Most pieces can
go on the oven, in the oven or under the grill and importantly if
you change your cooking hob you do not need to change your pans.
Le Creuset cookware is available in a wide range of colours that
will suit both your kitchen and dining table.
Energy Efficient
Once hot you will require only a low to medium heat setting to
maintain a good cooking performance, they can even be removed
from the heat leaving the food to cook in it’s own heat. These
heat retention properties mean that a Le Creuset dish will keep
warm for longer at the table.
Care and Use:
Before first use: remove all labels. Wash the pan in hot soapy
water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Pans with enamelled cooking
surfaces are now ready for use and require no further
preparation.
Heat Sources: Le Creuset cast iron cookware can be used on all
heat sources. , electric solid or radiant plates, vitroceramic
glass, induction, and ranges fired by , oil, coal or wood.
When using on any glass stovetops always follow the
manufacturer’s guidance for use of your cookware. Never drag pans
across the glass, but lift on and off,or from one heat zone to
another. The enamel surfaces are not suitable for dry cooking.
Your choice of liquid, oil, or butter should completely cover
the base before heating begins.
Oven Temperatures: For black phenolic lid knobs and handles a
maximum temperature of 190 degrees Celsius, 375 degrees
Fahrenheit or 5 (Europe setting 6). For products with
integral cast iron handles or stainless steel knobs the maximum
oven use temperature is 230 degrees Celsius / 450 degrees
Fahrenheit / Mark 8 (Europe setting 9).
Range Stoves with Cast Iron Oven Linings: Do not place any
cookware on the floor of these ovens. Cook only on the racks
provided. Integral cast iron handles or stainless steel knobs
will become hot during stovetop as well as oven use. Use a dry,
thick cloth, or Le Creuset oven mitts, for handling these at all
times.
How to use:
Medium and low heats will provide the best results for the
majority of cooking, including frying and searing. Allow the pan
to heat gradually and thoroughly, as this will give the most even
and efficient cooking results. Once the pan is hot almost all
cooking can be continued on lower settings.
High heats should only be used for boiling water for vegetables
or pasta, or for reducing the consistency of stocks and sauces.
High heats should never be used to pre-heat a pan before lowering
the heat for cooking. Cast iron retains heat so well that if a
pan is overheated in this way it will contribute to poor cooking
results, sticking and discolouration of cooking surfaces.
Match the pan base to the heat zone to maximize efficiency and
prevent overheating of pan sides or damage to handles. Long
handles should be positioned safely so that they do not overhang
the front of your stovetop, or over other heat zones. Do not heat
an empty pan or allow a pan to boil dry. Either may cause
permanent damage to the enamel and pan.
For stirring comfort and surface protection use Le Creuset heat
resistant silicone utensils, heat resistant plastic or wooden
tools. Occasional use of metal utensils may leave silver trail
marks over the surface. Do not knock metal utensil on the rims of
cookware, this will eventually damage the enamel.
Note: Do not cut foods directly on any enamel surface.
Place hot pans on Le Creuset silicone mats, wooden boards, or
trivets. Never place a hot pan directly on an unprotected
surface. We recommend using Le Creuset oven mitts for lifting hot
pans at all times.
Electric hand held beaters or mixers should not be used in any
cookware. Permanent damage to all surfaces will be caused.
After use always cool a pan for a few minutes before washing in
hot soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not fill a hot pan
with cold water or plunge into cold water as thermal shock damage
to the enamel may occur.
If there are food residues fill the pan with warm water and
leave to soak for 15 – 20 minutes, then wash in the usual way.
Nylon or soft abrasive pads or brushes can be used to remove
stubborn residues. Do not use metallic pads, or harsh abrasive
cleaning agents, as these will damage the enamel and polished
trims.
Light stains or metal trail marks (caused by metal tools) can be
removed with Le Creuset Cookware cleaner. An occasional
conditioning clean with this product will also retain the new
appearance and polish of your pans.
Cleaning
All pans with integral cast iron, phenolic handles, or stainless
steel lid knobs, can be washed in the dishwasher. When using the
dishwasher always allow the cycle to complete before opening the
door. This will ensure the pans are dried thoroughly.
Maintain the tightness of all handles and knobs by checking and
re-tightening them regularly. Le Creuset enamelled cast iron is
extremely durable, but it may be damaged if accidentally dropped
or knocked against a hard surface.
