Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This Le Creuset omelet pan goes from the stovetop or oven to the dining room table. Although not designed for the slight-of-hand, this pan is otherwise thoughtfully constructed. Porcelain enameled cast iron absorbs, retains, and redistributes heat quickly, especially at low settings. The nonreactive, nonstick cooking surface does not absorb flavors and allows for low-fat cooking. And, in keeping with French tradition, the pan is stylish and is available in a variety of colors. To prolong the life of this pan, avoid using metal implements on its nonstick surface, heat it up gradually, use low-to-medium heat when cooking, and cool it down before washing. This omelet pan is hand cast in a one-of-a-kind sand mold and hand finished at the Le Creuset factory in France.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for eggs or grilled cheese sandwiches!, May 16, 2003

You don't need high heat to cook eggs, as you don't want to oxidize the protein. Cast-iron provides nice even distribution of heat. Also, cooking with high heat with non-stick cookware is not recommended. Cooking at too high of a temp can cause the coating to come off into your food, and teflon is definitely toxic if ingested.

EDIT... after months of use the coating has started to peel on the edges. It looks to be just a sprayed on coating and doesn't seem to be a proper match for a long lasting material like cast iron. Great pan, just wish it was holding up to daily use better.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nonstick coating peels off, December 17, 2002

By A Customer

Although Le Creuset replaced my original pan, the problem persists.....the non-stick coating peels off! This is one of the best pans I have ever owned besides the little coating issue! I followed all recommendations regarding heat source, cleaning, utensil type used, etc. & the coating still peeled off. If you are going to spend the money for Le Creuset products, skip the ones that have a non-stick coating & 'stick' with the traditional products.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Great, April 23, 2003

By A Customer

This cookware gets a 5 star rating as far as I am concerned. To cook with this cookware is a dream, mostly because it cooks so evenly and the foods prepared turn out great. It is heavy but that is why I like it. I have had some pieces over 20 years and it still works great. The non-stick pieces are extremely easy to cook with and cleanup is a breeze. If you like cast iron cooking, you will love this cookware. The enamel coating makes it attractive and no more seasoning your pans everytime you use them. Try it! Well, worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Omelet Pan!
My husband got this pan for me as a gift, and I love it! Besides just being pretty, it cooks eggs beautifully. It really is non-stick--the eggs just slide right out. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Love, love, love this pan!
Omelets are a breeze with this pan - saute' your veggies, add the eggs and let it sit. I am somewhat impatient, so I use a lid from another pan to speed the cook time. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars expensive but worth every bit
It took me time to decide for Le Creuset, especially for the price, but now I am using it every day, so easy to clean and so neat to use from the top of the stove to the oven.
