This Le Creuset Skillet is Wonderful !!!
I just received this skillet and am really happy with it. I was worried after reading some of the other reviews about food sticking. I made pancakes in this pan yesterday AM and they were perfect! No sticking at all. I just used a little spray of canola oil before cooking each pancake and there were no worries. I didn't season the pan but the literature that came with the skillet states that a brown patina will develop with use, which will help even further to prevent sticking. The skillet is easy to clean, too. This is a super great cast iron skillet.
The worst pan I own, everything sticks!
I love Le Creuset, my first pots were hand me downs from my mom and they've been used between the two of us for nearly 40 years! They're wonderful! And the soup pot is my absolute favorite! This skillet however is a disaster. I honestly think it should be recalled. I use medium heat and some oil and everything sticks. Potatoes or eggs are a nightmare. This morning I tried once again and finally said enough. I'll try to reseason it, but it seems beyond hope. I'm very disappointed in the quality from Le Creuset. Maybe there's an issue with a small percentage of these pans?
heavy metal
Really a quite nice piece of kitchenware. Great price. It is heavy so it takes some wrist strength to lift. Also there are a number of instructions for use and cleaning, but it seems well worth it.
I purchased the brand because it is one of the few that has almost no adverse health effects.
Oops!
I did not plan on such weight! Cast iron is always heavy, but add the enamel and the smaller than expected handle size and it becomes a bit unwieldy --- without contents! This may be the right product for many cooks who are able to move such weight around the cooking area, but it's not for me.
Doesn't Le Creuset sell skillets with nonstick surface any longer??!?? I love my smaller skillet from an earlier era, but cannot find what I'm looking for in these larger sizes.
I love my skillet!
Heats evenly, cleans up pretty well, and the drip areas on the side of the pan are super helpful when it comes time to drain! It's cast iron, so will last practically forever. When you buy the good stuff, you pay extra, but it's worth it. I am new to cooking, and this pan was not difficult to use at all. You just have to read the directions =)
