Color: Cherry Red

Amazon.com Product Description

Whether frying eggs or baking individual tarts or apple crisp, the smaller capacity of this enameled cast-iron skillet makes it easy to prepare a variety of classic foods on the stovetop or in the oven. The compact unit measures 9 inches in diameter, holds up to 1-3/8 quarts, and comes with two nondrip spouts--one on each side to accommodate left- and right-handed pouring. Use the skillet for anything from searing and sauteing to tenderizing, frying, and deglazing--its shallow base and gently sloping sides create rapid evaporation and make it simple to flip food or slide it from the pan to a plate.

Made of heavy-duty cast iron, the cookware's exterior features a colorful, long-lasting enamel that resists chipping and cracking, while its interior provides a durable, black enamel finish (no seasoning required) to seal in juices for succulent, tender results. As cast iron is unexcelled for even heat distribution and superior heat retention, and enamel is impervious to acids and odors, the skillet cooks food uniformly and gently without hot spots and can be used for marinating, cooking on the stovetop, or finishing in the oven. The skillet also provides a sturdy, integrated iron handle with an opposite helper handle for secure transport, and it can be safely used at any oven temperature, under the broiler, and on any stovetop, including induction. Beautiful enough for the table yet durable enough to outlive its lifetime limited warranty, the skillet should be hand washed for best results.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not up to par, June 11, 2006

I have numerous Le Creuset items, and this has to be the worst one. Everything sticks to the finish. Salsbury steak turns out horrible (can't make gravy), breakfast sausage patties become ground sausage pieces due to the sticking. And, like mentioned in an earlier post, it is hard to clean. Beware this new finish, (they have it on their grill pans also)it is not up to par.

I got this pan last spring and I really enjoy using it. I have not had the sticking problems that other people mention. I have made omelettes in it using spray-on oil and they have not stuck at all. Have used the skillet to cook bacon and sausage as well, again with no sticking. I do use a lower heat with this skillet ... it works much better if you do NOT turn the heat on high.

I am generally pleased with the product, but it will certainly take some time for the cast iron to cure, create its patina, and hopefully thereafter be non stick without using oil. So far I have been using a minimal amount of oil, but everything I put in it tends to stick and leave a crust on the bottom. I followed all the directions in the booklet, and am not subjecting the pan to abrupt changes of temperature. When put to soak, the crust unsticks readily without strong abrasion. I look forward to the pan eventually deciding not to stick under any circumstances!
