Le Creuset

Home Favourites - Le Creuset
We have all seen Le Creuset cookware somewhere, like movies, TV shows, adverts, friends house or your own families.  Le Creuset is a French Cookware Company that stills manufactures cast iron cookware in France ever since the company was founded.  It's so reliable that we have people coming in to our stores telling us they still use their grandmothers pan which has  been handed down through the generations.  Fun, colourful and very durable you can't really go wrong when you purchase one of these pots, like most of our Le Creuset customers, we find they come back for more and add to their growing collection of Le Creuset cookware.

This week we finally got our long awaited collections of Le Creuset back into our store where we carry one of NZ biggest collections from the TNS Bakeware to the Le Creuset Utensils and crockery.  Now expanding into Stainless Steel & Cast Aluminium, Le Creuset has nearly all the tools you need for your kitchen.  It was just this week that we saw a Le Creuset mad customer who showed us pictures of their kitchen, where every pot and kitchen utensil of theirs is Le Creuset!  Now that's dedication to a brand, but we must say it made their kitchen look absolutely alive!

Still the most popular in the range is the Cast Iron Pot.  Great for casseroles and slow cooking but also very good for storing any food you want keeping cold in the fridge, like pasta salads or deserts.  Because it's Cast Iron, it makes it a poor heat conductor which is why it's used for slow cooking.  Just leave it on your element on a low temp, cover with the lid and leave it to cook while you go off and do your own thing.  There is something very homely to coming home to a casserole slow cooked in a cast iron pot, you lift the lid, serve the food, cut some fresh bread and it just smells heavenly.  For some of us, it takes us instantly back to our days as a kid.
