Chasseur Classic Cast Iron Cookware has been traditionally crafted in the Invicta foundry and enameling plants established since 1924 in Donchery in the French Champagne Ardenne region known all around the world for its food and wine. Each piece of Chasseur Cast Iron Cookware is Unique - every piece is hand cast and crafted in individual sand molds which are destroyed after each use. Constructed from heavy cast iron and thickly enameled, the heating qualities of Chasseur French Ovens allow you to maintain remarkably even temperatures whether simmering on the stove or braising in the oven. Chasseur French Ovens are ideal for a wide array of applications, deglaze and clean easily, and feature heavy cast iron lids with stay-cool phenolic handles that are oven safe to 220°C.
