I know the Dutch Oven is made in France but does anyone know if the enamel is also. I am told LC sends it off to China or Thailand for enamel work

Made in China, of course, and unfortunately so in my opinion. Do stay AWAY from the slow cooker from Sur la Table. It, too, is made in China and costs a TON more. Worse, the non-stick interior from the Sur la Table unit chips and peels after very short usage according to the reviews. Good luck. We did a lot of shopping. Our cooker has performed excellently for many meals.

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&url=search-alias%3Dkitchen&field-keywords=le%20creuset&sprefix=le+creuset%2Caps%2C291 .

I don't know where it is made. I only know that it is hard to find a dutch oven this size anywhere. And this is one is very nice. I had my Sears dutch oven for over 45 years. I bought a cast iron one and found it too heavy.

From what I understand:Le Creuset is an iron foundry in France. That is where they melt the iron and cast it into pots and pans. They do not do the enameling at their foundry facility.To enamel their products, they send their cast iron products to Thailand, and maybe China.So I guess it depends on what you mean by "manufactured".The imprint says France, because the imprint is made during the casting process, so technically it's correct.

No, it is made in China, Lodge is an American company who does make all of it's cast iron pieces in the USA but the enamel on cast iron is made in China.

It was made in Japan. I love this cooker and we use it all of the time. My friend from Thailand recommended it and she was right, it's great!

Hello Karrie, I bought two of these ExcelSteel 4-piece Stainless Steel Baking/Lasagne Dishes, love them. Still have one in the original box & checked the bottom where it says it is made in China.I am sure you will enjoy using this lovely product. Sorry for the late reply, I live in Western Australia & catching up on emails especially as this one came from Amazon.Hope this is of some help to you.Helen.

Check the lecreuset website for each item to see where it is made. It seems that their enamel covered cast iron pieces are still made in France. However, they are selling other cookware that is made china, which is really a shame.

Sorry I gave this as a gift and I have no idea where it was made..............I bought it because it is a lighter weight then the ceramic crockpots and easy to travel with..........It fit the person whom I was buying it for! She loves it!

Thank you for your interest. Most of Le Creuset's stoneware is made in Thailand. This piece is made in China.Chefs Corner Store

I can't find anything that tells me where this cookware is made. When I bought it, I thought USA, but now can't find anything to support that.

Hello, the pans are made in France. My husband is a classically trained French chef and uses only these pans. He loves them. Hope this helps.

Le Creuset is a French company which is why I imagine they call it a French oven-why call it a Dutch oven when it is made in France? It is the same concept, the same thing. These are cast iron, very heavy and well made and will last for generations if well cared for, therefore, worth the money if you are a serious cook. Can be used on any cook surface, gas, electric, even induction, as well as in the oven. No so with some others. Your name is unusual.

I bought this item 2 years ago because it was being discontinued. I already had a smaller version of the dutch oven and ordered this model to replace it. I believe it was being discontinued to be replaced by the 1000 series. This is a quote from Tramontina: "New manufacturing techniques combined with improved materials and design have revitalized old world cooking traditions to offer superior product performance and versatility for an exceptional cooking experience." They may have made changes to the material used or the enamel bonding process. I'm not sure exactly. The design of the 1000 series on their website looks like the sides may be less sloping than my model. I suppose you could email Tramontina and ask what the changes are. I like my model and use it often. It has held up well. I do hand wash it as directed.

If you look on Rachel Ray's official website it says it is manufactured in Thailand. I am very disappointing in the product and the false guarantee. I used my set for about six months and the exterior enamel became discolored and the inside finish started to to chip, peel, and come off. I sent a couple of the really bad pieces back to Meyer Corporation and they did not replace them nor honor the warrantee. They said that I had used too high of a heat and that I used the improper utensils. I used medium to low heat because I have a gas stove and I bought and used Rachel Rays nylon cooking utensils. I am a senior citizen and have had many types of cookware over the years; many coated with Teflon and other non-stick products. I had never had this happen before. I can't afford to be buying cookware every 6 months. So, I will never buy anything distributed by Meyer Corporation and I hope Rachel Ray is aware of this so that her reputation is not tarnished by such bad products which bear her name.
