It’s a story for the ages. For 100 years, Le Creuset has been creating heirloom-quality enameled cast-iron cookware coveted by home cooks of all ages and levels. TODAY’s Dylan Dreyer recently got the culinary experience of a lifetime: a factory tour at the brand’s headquarters in Fresnoy-le-Grand, France.

So what makes these pieces so special? A combination of serious craftsmanship, super durable materials and those eye-catching glossy hues. It takes a whopping seven days to create one of Le Creuset's iconic Dutch ovens, Dreyer reports.
"You're actually taking a piece of cast iron and then [putting] glass on it and [fusing] the two together, which is the most complicated process in housewares," Le Creuset president Paul Van Zuydam told Dreyer.
To celebrate Le Creuset's milestone anniversary, the brand released a limited-edition color inspired by its signature orange hue, Flame. Flamme Dorée is the same fiery color that home cooks and pro chefs alike have come to know and love, but with an extra-festive finish: Each piece is flecked with light-catching minerals, creating a golden shimmering effect, according to the brand. This limited-edition colorway is available in four products and various sizes, all fit for a celebration — but items are already selling out, so don't wait to grab your favorite.
In addition to the exclusive anniversary collection, the brand has marked down dozens of items, including some bestsellers — starting as low as $16. Le Creuset rarely goes on sale, but it is a milestone anniversary after all. For a limited time only, you can score major savings on spring cookware, kitchen tools for grilling and entertaining and other staple pieces designed to last.
