Bloody great snip!

About 35 years ago, the London Sunday Times reported that some of the Le
Creuset EXTERIOR glazes had some nasty metals in them such as cadmium.
Le Creuset IMMEDIATELY changed the glaze formulæ to make their pots
completely safe.

I notice that there are now cheaper clones from China on the market. I bet
they don't give a damn about what goes into their glazes!
