Le Creuset Cousances® Skillet

The story of Cousances© began in 1553, when Jehan Barisien paid the lord of the manor for the right to cast iron. His foundry, the first cast iron cookware foundry in the world, was called Cousances. Four centuries after Cousances poured its first cocotte, fellow cast iron expert Le Creuset purchased the original Cousances brand and foundry in 1957. This expansion added an important chapter to Le Creuset’s story of French heritage and elegant craftsmanship.

In celebration of the world’s oldest cast iron cookware foundry, Le Creuset’s Cousances line revives legacy designs shared by Cousances and Le Creuset for decades. Cast iron skillets have long been treasured kitchen staples for stovetop frying and oven baking. Over time, the matte black interior enamel develops a natural patina that is ideal for searing and frying. Pour spouts on two sides allow for drip-free pouring.
