Know before you buy
No, the black satin enamel interior is ready to use right out of the box. Unlike raw cast iron, it does not require seasoning and will naturally develop a nonstick patina as you continue to cook with it.
Yes, the enameled cast iron construction is fully compatible with all cooktops, including induction, ceramic, electric, and gas.
Yes, this pan is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with warm, soapy water is generally recommended to preserve the finish and the developing patina over the long term.
The pan is oven-safe up to 500°F, making it suitable for high-heat searing, roasting, or baking recipes like deep-dish pizzas.
Le Creuset engineered this pan to be the lightest cast iron per quart of capacity on the market. While it remains sturdy and durable, it is significantly easier to maneuver than traditional, heavier cast iron skillets.
The black satin enamel is specifically designed for higher surface temperatures, making it ideal for searing and browning. It is more resistant to wear and tear than light-colored enamel and is specifically crafted to build a natural patina that improves cooking performance over time.
