Cooking with cast ironEnameled cast iron is a remarkable and robust material that performs well with modern requirements for food preparation and cooking. Whether you choose to stir-fry, slow-cook a casserole, sear a steak or bake a cake, there is a shape that is suitable. Cast iron performs well for either slow cooking or high-temperature searing. Cast iron can be used reliably on any heat source, including induction, and with any oven or grill. It has the ability to retain heat efficiently, which allows for use of lower heat settings in stove-top and oven cooking. On the table, a hot covered dish will keep food hot for second servings. Cast iron can also be used to keep foods cold. A chilled dish becomes an ideal cold food server on a hot summer day. It can also be placed in the freezer for food storage or advanced food preparation. |
Heat recommendationsLe Creuset cast iron cookware can be used on all heat sources including gas, electric solid plate or radiant ring, vitro-ceramic glass, induction, and ovens fired by gas, oil, coal or wood. When using any glass-topped stove, always lift the pan when moving it; never slide it, as this may damage the stove-top or the base of the pan. Always match the pan’s base size to the stove-top heat zone to maximize efficiency, and to prevent overheating of the pan sides or damage to the handles. Gas flames must always be confined to the base area, and must never extend around the sidewalls of the pan. Long handles should be positioned safely where they do not hang over the front of the stove or other heat zones. |
Cleaning and CareAlways cool a hot pan for a few minutes before washing. Do not plunge a hot pan into cold water. While Le Creuset’s enamel is designed to be the most durable on the market, thermal shock may still occur, resulting in cracking or loss of enamel. If there are food residues, fill the pan with warm water and let soak for 15 to 20 minutes before washing. A brush can be useful for removing small food deposits, or for cleaning between the ribs on grills. Do not use scourers or abrasive cleaners on the cooking surface. Nylon or soft abrasive pads or brushes can be used to remove stubborn residues. To avoid damaging the enamel, do not use metallic pads or harsh abrasive cleaning agents. Light stains or metal marks caused by metal tools can be removed with Le Creuset cookware cleaner. An occasional cleaning with this product will also retain the new appearance of your pans. Never store pans while they are still damp. Store pans in a dry cupboard or airy space away from steam. |

She was right. I recently purchased it for her. She made a pot roast as her first dish in her new 7 1/4-Quart Le Creuset French oven and was amazed at how easy it was to sear and slow roast the meat and vegetables. An added bonus - during cleanup she ran hot water in the pan, placed a small amount of dish liquid in the water and let it soak. She was prepared to let the pot soak overnight. Amazingly, she found that she was able to clean the pot within minutes using only a sponge.
This pot is money well spent. Although it's heavy (not unexpected for cast iron), it clearly will be used often by us for years to come. Worth the investment!
If you don't intend to brown foods in it, or don't cook a whole lot, or are on a tight budget, you probably will be content with the Lodge. Personally I prefer the Le Creuset and I find that unless I need both at the same time, the other sits in the cabinet. This is definitely my go-to pot now.
