The Cast Iron Production | Le Creuset's Flagship Discipline

In its own foundry in northern France, the popular enameled cast iron items from Le Creuset are manufactured in four steps. During the production of cookware, the highest quality is ensured, and the manufacturing process has been continuously developed and modernized. However, the secret recipe of the materials (iron, steel, glass) has remained unchanged since then.

In step one, two sand molds are made for the desired shape of the Le Creuset product. The raw material is then melted at high temperature in a large crucible (French: creuset) and subsequently poured into the mold. Once the resulting item has cooled, it is removed from the mold and is now ready for further processing.

In the second step, the resulting blank is reworked. By hand, it is cleaned and smoothed. Sharp edges and burrs are removed. Then it is prepared for enameling. For this purpose, the blank is bombarded with tiny metal particles.

The third step is enameling, which occurs in two layers. With the first layer, a colorless primer that is fired at 840°C, the second layer is already prepared. The second layer is then applied inside and outside. It first dries in the air before being made durable, hygienic, and shock-resistant through another firing process.

Now the product is ready for the fourth step of production, quality control. Here the item is examined and checked by expert eyes. Only products that meet Le Creuset's high-quality standards are released for sale. Items with small defects are remelted and further processed.
