Know before you buy
No, this is a traditional stainless steel pan. It does not feature a nonstick coating, which allows for better searing and browning, though it will require a bit of oil or butter to prevent sticking.
Yes, the Le Creuset stainless steel construction is fully compatible with all cooktops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic surfaces.
The ergonomic stainless steel handle is designed to stay cool during standard stovetop use. However, it will become hot if the pan is used inside the oven, so you should always use an oven mitt when removing it.
The pan features extra depth compared to standard skillets, making it excellent for shallow frying, sautés, and recipes that involve liquids or sauces. Its design helps contain splatters while providing plenty of room for larger ingredients.
Yes, this pan is dishwasher-safe. While the dishwasher is convenient, hand washing is often recommended to maintain the polished finish of the stainless steel over time.
