Amazon.com Review
Turn out restaurant-caliber frittatas and gold-star gravies with this 10-inch enameled cast-iron skillet from the French line Le Creuset. Coated with a chip-resistant porcelain enamel, the skillet offers the even heat and gentle cooking of cast-iron without reaction to foods or the usual high maintenance. The integral iron handle is oven-safe to 450 degrees F, so the skillet can go straight from the freezer to the burner to the broiler. An easy-to-grip helper handle makes the pan's substantial weight manageable, while dual pour spouts accommodate right- or left-handers. Le Creuset's signature cherry red enamel livens up the kitchen or table, comes with a lifetime warranty, and cleans up in the dishwasher. --Emily Bedard

 Hot pan! March 28, 2003

This was part of a set of four we acquired over 25 years ago. Still going strong. Not really non-stick, but easy to clean. Keep the pot holders handy though, this handle get really HOT! I took it out of the oven with my bare hand about 29 years ago and still have the scars...you could hear the flesh sizzle. Nevertheless, it's a great small fry pan if you aren't a mentally challenged operator.
 Excellent skillet October 11, 2003

This is a great piece for the kitchen. We've cooked all kinds of things in it and it doesn't cease to impress us. The handle does get hot, but Le Creuset makes heat pads for the handles so this isn't an issue (just be sure not to get it too close to the flame if you're cooking on a gas stove). Though not non-stick, it's easy to clean and always looks great. Don't hesitate on buying this item.

I cook exclusively with Le Creuset, and I love this skillet as I do all my other pieces. They cook food beautifully and are easy to clean. The only time I had something to really stick, I was able to get it out by putting a little detergent and water in the pan and heating it up a bit. The stuck-on bits floated right up to the top.
Mostly nonstick September 5, 2007

Like others, I bought this pan after the New York Times review came out on alternatives to teflon (the review said that this pan was terrific). My husband and I eat omelets for dinner several nights a week and our teflon pans were starting to lose their nonstick properties. This pan can work well for cooking eggs. The trick, as others have noted, is to preheat the pan on low to medium heat and then to give it a light coat of oil before adding anything to it. The day I received the pan I made a 5-egg omelet and it came out well -- I was easily able to flip the whole thing without it breaking. I've also made over-easy eggs and they have come out well too. I like this pan better than my old teflon ones because it's less delicate, it's dishwasher-safe, and I don't need to worry about the coating losing its effectiveness. Plus, it produces food with a nice surface, which teflon has a hard time doing. It is not quite as nonstick as a teflon pan, but it gets the job done (and is much more nonstick than stainless). I'm pleased with the purchase.
Clean with baking soda!.... February 18, 2007

Took the pan home and promptly fried a steak on high, thereby causing an apartment full of smoke and a pile of burnt crud on the pan, including a large stain, seemingly impossible to get off. Tried everything including the company's recommended bleach method. No luck! Then I tried baking soda as suggested in one of the reviews here, and it just simply wiped away the damage. Like new!......Then I set about reading the instruction booklet and have had great results using low heat. It's really a different way of cooking, but the fried stuff comes out just as if I'd used high heat on another pan. Stainless steel's great, too, of course, but this is a worthy and earthy alternative. I take the perspective that the ceramic layer gives the pan a solid foundation for the seasoning process.
