Le Creuset: what it’s actually made from

Every Le Creuset product we have scored, with the maker’s own words about materials and what those words leave out. Average across the range: 58.7 out of 100.

We have scored 3 Le Creuset products. They average 58.7 out of 100 on materials, and the spread between the best and worst is 11 points.

Of those 3: 3 name the surface that touches food at least to a material family; 3 state a country of manufacture; 0 have a materials claim backed by anything other than the maker’s own word.

Where these sit on the site

Le Creuset appears in Cookware. The Australian and American editions are scored the same way, so a product marked AU and one marked US are directly comparable.
