Le Creuset Cast Iron Cookware

Our Le Creuset cast iron cookware combines substantial cast iron construction with a durable enamelled finish. Cast iron retains heat effectively, making it well suited to recipes requiring consistent cooking temperatures as well as serving food at the table.

Unlike unfinished cast iron, Le Creuset enamelled cast iron does not require traditional seasoning. Always follow the manufacturer's care instructions to protect the enamelled surface.

Cast Iron Casserole Dishes

A cast iron casserole dish is a versatile choice for stews, curries, soups, braised meats, roasting and slow-cooked meals. Our collection includes round, shallow and oval Le Creuset casseroles in different sizes and colours.

Browse the full selection in our dedicated Cast Iron Casserole Dishes collection.

Round, Shallow & Oval Cast Iron Casseroles

Round casseroles provide deep sides for soups, stews and slow cooking, while shallow casseroles offer a wider cooking surface that's useful for browning, braising and one-pan meals. Oval casseroles provide an elongated cooking area that can be useful for larger ingredients and roasting.

Cast Iron Grill Pans

Cast iron grill pans retain high cooking temperatures effectively and feature ridged cooking surfaces for searing meat, fish and vegetables. The current Le Creuset range includes Signature Square Grillit pans and rectangular grill cookware.

See the dedicated Cast Iron Grill Pans collection for grill-specific cookware.

Enamelled Cast Iron Cookware

Le Creuset's enamelled finish combines the heat-retention properties of cast iron with a finished cooking surface that does not require traditional seasoning. It also allows cast iron cookware to be offered in distinctive colours for cooking and serving.

Cast Iron Cookware for Induction & Oven Cooking

Le Creuset enamelled cast iron cookware is suitable for induction cooking as well as other common hob types. Cast iron casseroles can also provide useful hob-to-oven versatility for recipes that begin with browning or searing.

Always check the individual product specifications for hob suitability, oven temperature limits and care guidance, as components such as knobs and handles can affect maximum temperatures.

How to Choose Cast Iron Cookware

Consider what you cook most frequently. A round casserole is a versatile choice for stews and slow-cooked dishes, while a shallow casserole provides more surface area for browning and one-pan meals. Choose an oval casserole for an elongated cooking area, or a grill pan if searing is your priority.

Also consider size and weight. Cast iron is substantially heavier than many other cookware materials, particularly when a larger casserole is full.
