Le Creuset (French pronunciation: [lə kʁøzɛ], lit.'the crucible') is a French-Belgian maker of cookware. They are best known for producing enamelled cast-iron cookware. The company first manufactured their products in the town of Fresnoy-le-Grand in France in 1925, which are similar in function to a Dutch oven but with T-shaped handles. The company also makes many other types of cookware and bakeware, from fondue sets to tagines.
