All the Le Creuset cookware is made from enameled cast iron. Cast iron has been used for cooking utensils since the Middle Ages. The Le Creuset factory is at Fresnoy-Le-Grand in Northern France. In 1925, the foundry began producing Cast Iron by hand-casting molten cast iron in sand molds-still the most delicate stage of the production process.
I have defaulted to several beautifully seasoned cast iron skillets and one cast iron pot for deep frying. My everyday cookware (stockpots) is non-stick Meyer Anolon and the cast iron for all high heat application. I have one Le Creuset piece, which is a square griddle that I use for everything from toasting bread to quick grills. I love this ...
I've always wanted a Le Creuset dutch oven, so I was wondering, could enameled iron also be used over a flame? I wouldn't feel as bad about the expense and the space it takes up, if I could justify the purchase by saying we could use it to cook over the fireplace. Thanks. Sorry for being so long-winded!
A quick search of the Le Creuset website's care areas finds no mention of bleach. While the site warns against 'harsh abrasives', Bon Ami does not fall into that category.

The Le Creuset "Doufeu" takes the idea two stages further than the Tagine, making provision for exaggerating the condensation by allowing more cooling (from ice or cool water), and returning the condensate distributed across the centre of the pan, rather than simply having it run down the outside. The latter makes particular sense for the ...
Don't know if it would work on your le creuset, but when I have burned things in my all-clad pans, I have had good luck using oven cleaner. Take the pan outside, spray liberally with oven cleaner, let sit several hours or overnight, then wipe and wash clean. Always works for me.
