Is Le Creuset worth the money? I test cookware for a living – and here are my honest thoughts

Le Creuset Dutch Oven in Thyme.

A conveyor belt of pots and pans come and go in my kitchen. Non-stick, copper, stainless steel... I’ve tried them all. As a trained chef who cooks at home daily and works as a product tester, it is both my passion and profession to test the best cookware on the market. I’ve seen what works and what wears out. So, you can trust me when I tell you Le Creuset is worth the money.

Like many keen cooks, I was introduced to the brand by my parents. My mom actually taught me how to cook with her Le Creuset pot (the best Dutch oven), which was a wedding gift 30 years ago. Three decades later, she’s still using it to bake bread and simmer casseroles. It continues to look good and perform well. Le Creuset combines beauty and durability – and to me, that makes it worth every penny.
