Know before you buy
Yes, the Le Creuset cast iron construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as ceramic, electric, and gas stoves.
Absolutely. Because it is crafted entirely from cast iron, this pan is oven-safe and ideal for recipes that require searing on the stovetop followed by finishing in the oven.
This pan features Le Creuset’s signature enamel coating, which means it does not require the seasoning process typically associated with raw cast iron. It is ready to use right out of the box.
Yes, the two integrated pouring spouts are designed to provide a clean, drip-free pour, making it much easier to transfer pan sauces or excess fats without spilling over the sides.
As a solid cast iron piece, it has a substantial weight that contributes to its excellent heat retention. The ergonomic handle is designed to provide a secure grip, though we recommend using two hands or an oven mitt when lifting it while full.
