Know before you buy
No, this skillet features Le Creuset’s signature enameled interior, which means it does not require seasoning. It is ready to use straight out of the box and will not rust.
While the enamel is durable, metal utensils can scratch or dull the surface over time. We recommend using silicone, wood, or heat-resistant plastic tools to keep the interior in pristine condition.
The iron handle will get hot during use, so you must use a kitchen towel or oven mitt when handling the pan. It is designed for durability and oven-to-table versatility, but it does not stay cool like a silicone or wood-handled pan.
Technically, it is dishwasher safe, but we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the finish and prevent the enamel from dulling over many years of use.
Yes, the cast iron construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic ranges.
For stubborn residue, soak the pan in warm, soapy water for 15 to 20 minutes. You can also use a specialized enamel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water to gently lift stains without abrasive scouring pads.
