Le Creuset Crucible Knob

The Legacy of the Crucible: A Reimagined Classic

In the world of design, it’s often the smallest details that carry the greatest weight. As we celebrate our 100th anniversary with the luminous Flamme Dorée collection, one element stands out as a gleaming symbol of legacy and innovation: our Crucible Knob.

The Crown of Craftsmanship

The name “Le Creuset” itself means “The Crucible” – a vessel of transformation, where raw materials are melted and reformed. This metaphor extends to the kitchen, where ingredients and stories are blended, shared, and passed down through generations.

Available in two sizes, 4.5cm and 5.5cm and two beautiful finishes.

Forged in Fire, a Forever Favourite

Crafted exclusively for the centenary, the Crucible Knob is a centennial emblem, a golden tribute to our origins and enduring craftsmanship. Inspired by the crucible used in the original casting process, this knob is deeply rooted in our history in Fresnoy-le-Grand, where molten iron was first poured into fiery forms in 1925.

Design Rooted in Heritage

The Crucible Knob is more than a beautiful accent. Featuring our iconic three-ring design and a shimmering golden or stainless steel finish, it’s a metaphor for the transformative power of the kitchen. Just as a crucible melts and reshapes raw materials, the kitchen is where ingredients and memories are blended and shared.

A Collector's Jewel

For Le Creuset loyalists, the Crucible Knob is a must-have heirloom. Whether paired with a limited-edition Flamme Dorée casserole or added to a beloved piece in Sea Salt or Meringue, it brings a touch of golden heritage to any kitchen. It’s a small detail with a big story, one that spans a century of colour, craft, and culinary culture.

The Finishing Touch

Glistening atop the Flamme Dorée collection, the Crucible Knob is a fusion of form and function.

The Crucible Knob is also available as a standalone piece, allowing collectors and enthusiasts to elevate existing cookware with a touch of centennial elegance.

This is not just a knob, it’s a design statement, a conversation starter, and a symbol of transformation.
