Along with the Tour de France and Champagne, the most important discovery to come from France is Le Creuset. If you haven't yet heard of the products from Le Creuset, and going forward you still want to be considered as even an average chef, then pull up a chair and pay attention.
Le Creuset (French for "The Crucible") is a French cookware brands best know for its colourful, enameled, cast-iron pots, which you can discover for yourself right here on Yuppiechef.
The Le Creuset foundry uses standard sand casting methods. After hand finishing, items are sprayed with two coats of enamel, each fired at 800°C. The enamel then becomes extremely hard and durable, making it almost completely resistant to damage during normal use. Le Creuset pots are particularly good for making long-baking stews like chili con carne, cholet, coq au vin and bouillabaisse.
Apart from the obvious technical brilliance of the product, the thing that really sets it apart for the Yuppiechef is the range of bright, appealing colours that they are available in. From crimson red to deep sea blue, you're sure to find a unique enough colour way to personilise your kitchen with.
