Product description
Product code: 81346666
A cast iron skillet or frying pan is a cook's secret weapon for quick, easy and tantalising dishes. A skillet, an American term for a frying pan, has long been a treasured kitchen staple for stovetop frying, with a versatile shape that can be used for everything from searing steaks, vegetables or fish.
Add Le Creuset's superior cast iron that retains and evenly distributes heat and you’ll find that everything from frittatas to pancakes to veggies really does taste better when cooked in this cast iron skillet. This version has a stay-cool wooden handle and a large helper handle to make the pan easy to grip and move.
Key features:
- Cast iron for superior heat retention and distribution
- Hygienic, durable and easy to clean enamel interior
- Easy-grip, stay-cool wooden handle and cast iron helper handle
- Suitable for use on all heat sources, including induction
- Available in a choice of colours
- Lifetime guarantee
Enamel interior
Like the inside of Le Creuset grills, the skillet is coated with a satin black enamel finish that protects it for high surface heat use and will not wear off. Very durable, hygienic and easy to clean, this cooking surface also helps to achieve the correct sealing and searing of foods, as well as the caramelisation of the juices. The surface is chipping and stain-resistant and over time, a natural patina will develop that is ideal for frying.
Cast iron benefits
The skillet is made of cast iron, a very efficient material thanks to its superior heat retention and even heat distribution, which saves energy and prevents hot spots. Your food will seal very quickly with a delicious caramelized effect while locking in moisture, nutrients and flavours for succulent results. A quick test to check if the temperature is ready for cooking: throw a little water on the surface; if it stays in the pan without evaporating, it’s not yet hot enough. Be careful of the cast iron handles heating up.
Ergonomic stay-cool handle
The ergonomic main handle is made of wood and stays cool. The easy-grip helper handle provides extra stability when lifting a full pan between hob and table.
Induction compatible and lifetime guarantee
Suitable for use on all heat sources, including induction, in the oven and under the grill, the skillet is available in a wide choice of colours to perfectly complement every kitchen and style. It comes with a lifetime guarantee for complete peace of mind.
Le Creuset Cast Iron Care
- Remove all packaging and labels. Wash the pan in hot, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly
- Medium or low heat will provide the best results for cooking, including frying and searing
- The enamel surface is not ideal for dry cooking
- Always cool a hot pan for a few minutes before washing. Thermal shock may occur, resulting in cracking or loss of enamel
- When grilling, take a few drops of water on your fingers and scatter over the hot surface. If they sizzle and evaporate almost immediately it is hot and ready for use
- Handwash recommended
