True to its name, this versatile, hardworking pan from Le Creuset is made for daily use. It's crafted of heavyweight cast iron for superior heat retention, and features a black satin enamel interior that develops a natural patina over time, making it virtually nonstick and easy to clean. Ideal for searing, sautéing, browning and one-pan meals, the durable pan combines the benefits of a braiser with the ease of use of a fry or sauté pan. It requires very little oil, so it's great for low-fat cooking. Cast-iron construction provides superior heat retention. Durable enamel resists dulling, staining, chipping and cracking. Interior requires no seasoning, unlike standard cast-iron cookware. Slightly curved sides make it effortless to stir, flip and serve. Large loop handles facilitate lifting and provide secure grip - even while wearing oven mitts. Ideal for use on all cooktops, including induction. Oven and broiler safe to 500°F. Dishwasher safe.
