The Le Creuset range of cast iron cookware is sand castled on an individual basis and manually finished, passing through the hands of at least 30 master craftsmen ahead of leaving the factory. Each pot or pan receives two coats of non-porous enamel which are fired and vitrified to an impenetrable finish. Moulds are utilised one time and then retired, so two pieces will never be the same.
