Le Creuset Kone Kettle (LC921125.68)

The first Le Creuset Casserole (or Cocotte) was produced in 1925 when two Belgian industrialists, Armand Desaegher (a casting specialist) and Octave Aubecq (an enamelling specialist), met at the Brussels Fair and decided to create a foundry which would enamel various cookware items. They set up shop in Fresnoy-le-Grand in Aisne, France which was the crossroads for the raw materials of coke, iron and sand. In 1999 Le Creuset introduced the installation of a new electric furnace and 2003 brought a new moulding chain, increasing the foundry capacity.

Today, Le Creuset is globally recognised as a leading manufacturer of the highest quality cookware. Throughout the years product innovation reflected the strong international presence of Le Creuset, adapting to cooking trends from all over the world. They created items such as the Spanish Pueblo range in sun baked colours in 1995, French Tarte Tatin Dish in 2000, Indian Karahi & Balti dishes, Japanese Sukiyaki Casserole (or Cocotte) in 2002 and Italian Risotto Pots in 2004.

Le Creuset are renowned for their colourful cast iron cookware and although they've introduced many technological advances and new enamel colours, the process remains fundamentally the same. Every item made in the Le Creuset factories are passed between many hands of skilled craftsmen and undergo numerous quality checks throughout the manufacturing process. Everything is 100% handmade and because of this your new Le Creuset item will be a completely unique and individual piece.
