Christine, I bought that skillet for my daughter so I don't know if it says made in France on it. I have one myself that does say made in France. The one I bought for my daughter looks just like mine and was packed just like all the other Le Cruset products I have ever purchased. It's late at night now but if you like I can check with my daughter to see what her skillet says on the bottom. I know she loves hers. I bought her's from Amazon because they had the color she wanted, best price and I have Amazon Prime. I'm not sure if I have been helpful.

Pan should say Made In France imbedded in the bottom of the pan into the cast iron . That is how it is on all of my Le Creuset .You should know that mine are older pans and things could have changed . I would not recommend that grill pan if the interior is like mine which is basically a rough cast iron surface .Everything sticks to it and it the worst pan I have ever owned for cleaning .I own a lot of Le Creuset and after I used it was quite surprised on how bad it is .All the seasoning in the world would not help .I have owned raw cast iron pots through the years which I have seasoned to where they were almost completely non stick but this grill pan is hopeless .

France 26 imprinted on the button, into the metal. Box it shipped in said Made in France.

Mine has a stamp/impression FRANCE on the underside of where the le Creuset is. I am concerned myself now, because all of my other pieces purchased at WS & sur la have the impression MADE IN FRANCE in a circle in the center on the bottom of the pieces. The paper work all says made in France.

As far as I know, all of le creuset cast iron is made at the French foundry. The other products rubber and porcelain are made in other countries, but the pots and pans are made in France. I believe that the Le Creuset of America means that le creuset itself is the importer and distributer. Mine works marvelously and it is well worth it.

I checked our pans and there is nothing on them on where they are made... I did a couple of searches with varying answers... perhaps contact their customer service department? Let us know what you find out...

I bought this from Amazon and the original box says "Made in France" as does the pot itself. There are some Le Creuset items that are made in China, but not the tagine that I bought. I always thought it was supposed to have a hole to let the steam out, but that is not the idea--the steam rises and drips back down making the food moist, whether you use it on the gas stove top or in the oven. You can brown the meats in the cast iron bottom first if you like that.

The French Classic is actually made in France. This was my biggest concern in purchasing cookware (wanted to avoid Chinese industry and the lack of good standards). This is top-quality material made by a country you can trust.

This one that has French on it is made in France, another Cusinart type pan I have is made in China

I like the pan very much, but nowhere on the pan does it say All-Clad or made in the USA. If it were All-Clad it would cost 2-3 times what this pan cost. It is not as heavy as the All-Clad I have looked at in specialty kitchen stores; however, it has a decent amount of heft. I know All-Clad is made in the U.S and is very expensive. It also comes in different ply weights. Since this pan was $59.95 I can't believe All-Clad made it. I threw away the box and the pan doesn't say where it was made. It is an excellent value and the French call this a saucier pan. I like it very much and have not been disappointed at all. I have made Marinara sauce in it and Bolognese sauce. No problem washing it, but I did not use high heat so nothing stuck to the bottom. It performed well & it has a Lifetime guarantee. For more information visit www.emerils.com

No, I could not find anything to indicate China when I was shopping for flatware. I believe that the company is French. I am very pleased with my flatware. It goes in the dishwasher and does not spot. It is heavy and the pattern is much prettier than in the picture.

Definitely somewhere in Asia. Only Le Creuset cast iron is made in France, their stoneware is made in Asia. I believe mine had a Thailand sticker on it but I don't remember for sure.

I did not save the box and it is not imprinted on the griddle. However, all my other Le Creuset pans are clearly stamped made in France. Not sure if that means this is made in France or not. I know it never had the small gold sticker saying China on it.

Why does it matter? I'm a professional chef and this is really good quality. I've had it almost 2years and it still looks new. And yes I've used it a lot. Both in the oven and stove top. The quality is as good as le creusette with a reasonable cost.

I don't know about the particular item but some portion of Le Crueset's cookware is produced in Thailand rather than in France.

I just checked the pot and there is nothing on the bottom etc...which mentions where it was made...probably on the box which i threw away....i think you would like it...it's not heavy like Calphalon..mine has a few scratches from cleaning etc..on the outside...seems to scratch easily....but all and all it's great for pasta! hope this helps! enjoy it if you decide to get it....great for cooking for a lot of people at once....enjoy the evening!!!

This pan is not made in France. I believe it is made in China. Cuisinart has a "French Classic" line made in France. I have the 6 quart version and it is a great pan, but of course it costs more.

I am used to these excellent pots since 30 years, while I lived in France. At the time they were very ordinary and cheap ones. Now they are expensive.French and Dutch oven seem to me marketing names for America, in France they are just Cocotte de chez le Creuset, see in Amazon.fr below, anyways the one that I bought as a present (my 30 year old one is still perfect) was much cheaper at Amazon than elsewhere. http://www.amazon.fr/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_10?__mk_fr_FR=%C3%85M%C3%85Z%C3%95%C3%91&u;rl=search-alias%3Dkitchen&field-keywords;=le%20creuset&sprefix;=le+creuset%2Caps%2C291 .

The writing on the bottom of my pan, which I didn't even notice before getting a request from Amazon to respond to this inquiry, says it is DESIGNED in the US, and made in the PRC. I agree the ads are misleading. We've been using the pan for 1 1/2 years, now, and it still looks like new. Despite my liking to purchase US-made products, the difference in cost, and my inability to find a similar size pan with a SOLID SS RACK at the time, that I could afford, led me to purchase this pan. It is heavy duty, though not quite as heavy as some think: I just weighed mine, and it is an ounce under 11#, according to my digital scale. US-made would be better, but quality is very good, no matter where it was made.

IT IS MADE IN CHINA. The name of the company is MIU France: that's the reason "France" is imprinted on the utensil. Note that it does not state "Made in France"
