Chasseur has been casting enamelled cookware in the Champagne-Ardenne region of France since 1924. Same country, same tradition and same lifetime of use as the famous name, or hundreds less: our 26cm round french oven is $629, while the equivalent Le Creuset sells for around $860 in NZ.

What's in the range

Round french ovens from 20cm/2.5L to the 32cm/8.8L that feeds a rugby team, oval ovens for shanks and whole birds, casseroles, grills and skillets. Colours run from Inferno Red and Sky Blue to Caviar and Duck Egg Blue, with the streamlined Gourmet line opening the range at $459.

Why French-made matters

Each piece is sand-cast in its own mould, enamelled by hand and finished in France. The lids carry self-basting rings that drip moisture back onto the food, the enamel goes oven-to-table, and every base works on induction. This is the pot you buy once, hand down, and argue over in the will.
