The Le Creuset US00023000090512 Signature enameled cast iron 5-piece cookware set in Flame combines heat-retaining cast iron, no-seasoning enamel and stainless steel Crucible knobs. Its three cooking vessels include a 5.5 qt. Signature Round Dutch Oven, a 1.75 qt.

Compatible with all cooktops, including induction, the cookware and knobs are oven safe up to 500 degrees F, bringing everyday essentials from stovetop to oven to table.

Key Features

Three Cooking Vessels, Everyday Possibilities

A Dutch oven, saucepan and 9 in skillet give this five-piece collection three distinct cooking vessels, not five separate pans. From a pot of soup and mashed potatoes to homemade bread and fried chicken, these Signature essentials bring a coordinated approach to everyday cooking and entertaining.

Heat Retention and Purpose-Built Enamel

Cast iron distributes heat evenly and holds it through cooking, helping deliver consistent results for stews, roasts and other favorites. The porcelain enamel helps limit sticking and is designed to resist stains, dulling, chips and cracks. After washing before first use, there is no seasoning step to complete.

Inside the Dutch oven and saucepan, smooth, pale enamel makes cooking progress easier to follow. The skillet has a satin-black enamel interior formulated for higher cooking-surface temperatures, giving it a different cooking surface for tasks such as frying chicken.

Loop Handles and Crucible Knobs

Wide, ergonomic loop handles accommodate oven mitts when lifting hot cookware. Stainless steel Crucible knobs complement the Flame exterior, with styling inspired by the crucible used in cast iron manufacturing. The design connects a practical handling detail to the craft behind the cookware.

All Cooktops and a 500 Degrees F Oven Limit

Use the same cookware on ceramic, electric, gas, halogen or induction heat, then move it to the oven rather than transferring your recipe to another vessel. Both the cookware and its stainless steel knobs have a maximum oven temperature of 500 degrees F. Stovetop-to-oven versatility supports everything from simmered soups to roasted chicken, with colorful enamel ready for serving at the table.

Easy Cleaning With Enamel-Friendly Care

The finished surfaces simplify cleanup, and the set is dishwasher-safe. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the enamel's appearance and the skillet's beneficial black-enamel patina. Let the cookware cool before cleaning with warm soapy water and nonabrasive tools; do not deliberately scour that patina away.

Silicone, wood or heat-resistant tools are recommended, while metal utensils can be used with care.¹

French Craftsmanship in Flame

Made in France, the set carries forward a tradition of colorful enameled cast iron craftsmanship dating to 1925. Whether you are starting a Le Creuset collection or expanding one, these coordinated essentials also make a thoughtful wedding, shower or housewarming gift.

Footnotes:

¹ Do not use knives or sharp metal tools that can scratch the enamel, and do not strike the rim with metal utensils.

Use only for food preparation. Read and keep the care instructions, and wash before first use. Hot handles and lids require dry heat protection. Supervise cooking, beware of steam and stop using cookware with chipped interior enamel. Do not microwave or expose the cookware to uncontrolled heat, including outdoor grills, open fires or pizza ovens.

Heat and cool gradually using low to medium heat. Match burner and base sizes, keep flames below the sidewalls and keep handles away from burners. Lift rather than slide on glass cooktops. Place cookware on an oven rack, not the oven floor, and maintain at least 2 in of clearance beneath a broiler. Protect surfaces from hot cookware.

Allow cookware to cool before washing. Use warm soapy water and nonabrasive cleaning tools, avoid harsh abrasives, and rinse and dry fully. Store dry and use protectors when stacking.
