Did this company produce weapons in the past? Drutt (talk) 08:47, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

It is actually Creusot. Drutt (talk) 01:41, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Le Creuset logo.gif

Image:Le Creuset logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Questionable Statement on the Roux

There wasn't a citation I noticed, for the bit about the company not recommending using their enameled dutch ovens for roux or gumbo. Where did you get that? I recently purchsed a Le Creuset enameled cast iron dutch oven and read the user manual completely, without seeing anything about roux or gumbo. Additionlly, I searched their website for a caution pertaining to hot oils or roux. This section from the manual itself seems to implicitly allow for the creation of roux:

• The enamel surfaces (except for black enamel on grills or products with a non-stick inner coating) are not suitable for dry cooking. Your choice of liquid, oil, fat or butter should completely cover the base before heating begins. Non-stick surfaces may be used dry, but special care must be taken not to overheat the surface and the pan must not be left unattended at any time.

I'm not trying to criticise; I'm just wondering whether or not I'd be able to make a roux without damaging my pot. --81.144.189.119 (talk) 18:00, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Indented lineTo follow, I can find nothing else about not cooking a roux in the pot. It seems nonsensical for a piece of French cookware. I am about to cook a roux in mine. If I can't find a cite soon to this, I plan to remove the statement. Nolamgm (talk) 18:35, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Manufacturing process featured on TV show

The manufacturing process for a Le Creuset skillet was featured in the Season 16, Episode 3 of the TV show How It's Made as "Cast Iron Cookware." It's possible that there are details in this episode that might be useful to include in the article. At the very least, I suppose this should be mentioned in the references or external links.

Cadmium in the glaze

So, le Creuset changed the FAQ on its website - it used to say the older pots had unbound cadmium, but the newer ones don't. Now the FAQ just says the pots don't have unbound cadmium. I found another cite, and added it, but it's just someones blog with a cut-and-paste from the older le Creuset FAQ. More cites would be better. FiveRings (talk) 13:35, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

adding images

There is a call out from Wikipedia for more images to illustrate articles. I have tried to add some here but they keep being removed. Is there a rule which limits on images on pages?Melissa Highton (talk) 11:36, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

There is? If so, it is very likely for articles that do not have the critical number of images needed to give the reader a rudimentary visual notion of the topic. What we have in place is adequate in my view. Please note that my own image which had stood in the article for years has disappeared in this reshuffle and I'm not objecting. If your images were accompanied by text explaining the various designs (supported by reliable sources), it would be one thing, but a simple gallery, when there is already a fairly large one in Commons and linked in the article, is harder to justify. ... But this is not a biggie for me. Please do what you must. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 11:47, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. I've added some images from the gallery into the page using the gallery template.Melissa Highton (talk) 12:03, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Almost none of the images in the article are in the Le Creuset category on Commons - I see you uploaded some. Please add them (& remove the "kitchen" category - far too wide). Johnbod (talk) 13:44, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
