It says "Le Creuset of America" as the brand on the listing... does this mean the pan is not made in France? If you bought it, does yours say "made in France" on it anywhere? I don't want to buy a knock-off. Thanks!

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 .

All I can say is that on the bottom of my pan, is the following - "Handcrafted in the USA". Researching this to see if it's the same as "Made in the USA" proved vague at the least. It's one hell of a pan and I am very happy with it's performance. I own many All-Clad products and it does live up to its reputation.

I looked on the bottom. It is definitely stamped "Made in France." In case it matters, I REALLY like this pot. It is better than I expected.

The Ceramics from Le Creuset are made in China which I think is strange as its a premium French brand.

China, but it's a great pan. I have some all clad stuff and lodge cast iron made in the good ol' USA, I have 2 of these great little pots and might even get another for the versatility. I use mine all the time. get one for the heck of it and try it out. they are a bargain @ 60$ cheaper than a same size all clad. just keep the heat at medium or below and it will be great. I bet you keep itthi

I just checked my pans and it doesnt indicate where it was made. However, the ceramic coating is patented in & made in Germany. I just looked up details about this and the aluminum is forged ~ I sell German surgical instruments because they are forged and not "poured" or stamped out of roll stock aluminum. I will say I love these pans ~ you can use metal utensils, but I prefer to cook with good wood instead. They are lighter weight than I original thought ~ but after tons of use NOT A SCATCH!! Well worth the investment & no chemical leaching like you get from teflon!! Wish I could find more pot sizes. I just checked my pans and it doesnt indicate where it was made.

That is not correct. This set has a German name but it's manufactured in China (less expensive to make if made in China). It is the "Original" product and not a "knock-off" of second. I hope that helps you. Go to Chefscatalog.com and learn more about this set. You'll also notice Amazon is usually lower priced. Happy Holidays.

I have one Le Creuset that's about 15 years old. And that one is stained. But my new one seems to have a different finish. So far it has not stained, even with the things I've cooked in it that should have done so. I suspect that they've upgraded or otherwise changed the finish, as it seems to be more slippery for lack of a better word.

Made in France is stated everywhere; nothing indicates it was made in China. I love the grill; it's great on my glass top stove!

I have answered this question before, the pan does not say where it was made. Perhaps the packing material said, but I don't still have that. I have used this pan for about 3 years, it is still in very good condition and shows no signs of ware. Cooks great.

I don't know which products are made in China; however the '3.5 Quart Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast-Iron Round French Oven' I purchased in the local store (in Okla. City) was made in France. I actually first purchased a Le Creuset French Oven from Amazon, shortly after that I found my local Le Creuset store was having better promotion. So I returned the Amazon purchase and bought one from the local store.

Hi, Deborah. I have looked everywhere on the box and on the pan, but cannot find any indication of where it was made. I can tell you that I have used it for many different types of foods and it performs beautifully. I am pleased I bought it. Happy new year! Christy

Ray, I'm not sure where it's made however I will tell you this it's the best bakeware and some of the best pans I have ever used and I have been using calphalon for years. Weather says it's the best but cake pan she has ever used an 85 years. Now to me that means something! Just remember I bought one as a gift and it was under the bed.The pan was made in Thailand and the lid was made in China and it's sold under the DuPont company structure.Hope this helps? Paul

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.
