SOOKIE (to Lorelai): Could you peek inside the kitchen for me and tell me if the orange Creuset is on the left burner?
Le Creuset is a French company which makes colourfully-enamelled cast iron premium cookware such as saucepans, casseroles and large covered pots. They began manufacturing in 1925, and their signature colour is orange, just like Sookie’s piece. This seems to be the pan that she wants used to sweat the onions.
