Know before you buy
Yes, the Le Creuset stainless steel fry pan features a magnetic base that makes it fully compatible with all induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic ranges.
No, this is a traditional stainless steel pan without a non-stick coating. It is designed for searing, browning, and deglazing, which requires proper heat management and the use of cooking fats to prevent sticking.
Yes, this pan is oven-safe up to 500°F (260°C). This makes it ideal for starting a dish on the stovetop and finishing it in the oven.
While the pan is technically dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to maintain the exterior finish and prevent the stainless steel from dulling over time.
The key is to preheat the pan over medium heat before adding oil. Once the oil shimmers, add your food; if it sticks initially, it usually means it needs another minute to develop a crust, at which point it will release naturally.
This pan features a multi-ply construction with a full aluminum core sandwiched between layers of high-quality stainless steel. This design ensures even heat distribution across the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
