Know before you buy
This pan features a deeper profile than traditional skillets, which provides extra capacity for simmering sauces or cooking larger portions without splashing. Its cast iron construction also offers superior heat retention and even distribution compared to lighter materials.
Le Creuset cast iron pans are typically enameled, meaning they do not require the seasoning process associated with raw cast iron. You can wash them with warm, soapy water and they are ready for immediate use.
Yes, the cast iron base is fully compatible with all heat sources, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops.
The enamel coating is highly durable and resistant to staining and dulling. However, it is best to avoid using metal utensils, which can scratch the surface over time, and to let the pan cool before submerging it in cold water to prevent thermal shock.
Yes, Le Creuset cast iron pans are oven-safe, making them excellent for recipes that start on the stovetop and finish in the oven, such as frittatas or pan-seared meats.
