Le Creuset Toughened Non-stick Sauté Pan with Helper Handle 26 cm

Wanted a replacement sauté pan. Read reviews and picked this one, slightly over the price I wanted to pay, however thought about it and ordered. Have used a few times and I am very pleased with this pan and would recommend it.

A non-stick pan like no other.

The non-stick surface is incredibly durable and you can use any kitchen utensil, including metal spatulas etc, without fear of damaging the surface at all.The depth of the pan makes it perfect for stir frying and it is large enough for recipes with a large amount of liquid.When it comes to cleaning the pan the non-stick surface proves itself to be above and beyond any other cookware we have tried. The pan surface simply wipes clean in seconds.Overall this is an exceptional piece cookware what is robust, elegant and handsome and I would strongly recommend it as the perfect addition to any kitchen.

Excellent one-stop family pan!

The pan its a great size, and easily manages all our family meals for 4 people. It is nice and deep, which gives it much more versatility to usual shallow pans, especially for saucy dishes. We use it to saute and fry regularly and even casseroles as it can go straight in the oven to finish off dishes. The fact it comes with a lid just adds to the functionality.Searing meat is done perfectly and what makes it stand out from other pans we have had is how easily it cleans after. Even after searing lamb or beaf joints, which has then been left for a little while to cool down, all the food comes easily without leaving any staining.We use this on an induction hob and it works perfectly with great heat distribution. It is our second Le Creuset pan which is still as ... MoreThe pan its a great size, and easily manages all our family meals for 4 people.

So yes, it is expensive, but an investment we can see lasting for years to come and making cooking that more pleasurable without the added hassle of scrubbing for long lengths of time to get out all the stains.

Excellent product

I was expecting a high quality product from Le Creuset, and this has more than met my expectations. The pan is brilliant for using as a frying pan, with a really good non-stick surface, as well as for making things with liquid like stews and curries. It's also great that it can go into the oven. It is heavy, but this makes it feel substantial and high quality. Le Creuset offer a lifetime guarantee too. I will be using it regularly for many years to come!

Just the best!

Yes, Le Creuset are expensive but they just ooze quality and the non stickness exactly that, even a fly would fall off if you turned the pan over.I've had a few brands over the years but nothing has been as good as this so in future hang the cost, it's just a pleasure to useVery good price as well and ordered one afternoon expecting to wait a couple of days for delivery yet it arrived in time to be used for dinner the next day.

Le Creuset Toughened Non-Stick 26cm Saute Pan with Lid

Le Creuset Toughened Non-Stick 26cm Saute Pan with LidI love my new saute pan from Le Creuset.This is a large, weighty pan which you can tell is of very high quality. Despite its size, it fits easily in my oven. It is suitable for all types of hob. I have only had the pan for a few days so far, but the non-stick appears to work very well.I'm going to look into purchasing more products from Le Creuset after this positive experience.

Le Creuset Toughened Non-Stick Sauté Pan with Glass Lid 26cm

A lovely pan replacing the old one which was detaching from its base. This is heavier and solid. Have only used it twice so far for liver and bacon and a large omelette. Both came out perfect and i have noticed how evenly things fry already. The omelette was perfectly coloured underneath and slipped out the pan with just a wipe needed after cooling.I think that if the directions for use are observed (they are commonsense) as this is not a smoking hot pan, then it will last indefinitely. I wish i had been able to invest in cookware like this much earlier in life because i'd have only spent the money once.A very nice pan.

Love this saute pan so much

This is a fantastic non stick saute pan that is so versatile. I've cooked chilli, curry, brunch, omelette, Bolognese and steak in this pan to date. It's brilliant for putting your dish in the oven to finish off a dish too. I totally recommend this pan. It is a good weight,has a long comfortable Handle,a glass lid so you can see your food cooking and deep sides so that you can easily cook for four in it. A must for anyones kitchen.

Peter's review of Le Creuset Toughened Non-Stick Sauté Pan with Glass Lid 26cm

Pros: Seems like a good none stick coating. Bit early to say definitely as yet thoughCons: Lid could fit a tad better. Lid handle could be made so it doesn't conduct heat so readily.

Priceless

I have owned more expensive brands of pots and pans but this range byf Le Creuset is by far the best I have used. It is solid without being too heavy. I cook a lot for the family and found this pan to be excellent. Minimal amount of fat or oil is required for frying.? I love the deep straight sides which I find practical as food doesn't splatter everywhere. I have used it for making bolognese and found that it retains heat very well. It does what it promises and has the added bonus of being non stick. Can be transferred to the oven if needed. All in all I'm 100% satisfied and infact I want to buy other pots and pans in this range. Washes well with soapy warm water.
