Cast iron Skillets have long been treasured kitchen staples for stovetop frying and oven baking. They are perfect for searing meat, poultry, and fish, creating a browned caramelized surface and sealing in moisture. Extremely versatile, they can withstand any cooking temperature, so can be used on the hob or in the oven for an array of cooking tasks including making fish cakes and frittata or baking a dessert for four people. Le Creuset's Skillet features a convenient helper handle for easier lifting and added control when moving between hob, oven, and table. There are spouts on two sides allowing for drip-free pouring. The Skillet is coated with Le Creuset’s specialist satin black enamel finish. Durable and easy to clean, the satin black enamel interior has been specially designed to protect the pan no seasoning is required, and for high surface heat use. Over time, it develops a natural patina that is ideal for searing, browning, and frying. Available in a range of colors to complement every kitchen and style, the Skillet is protected by a Lifetime Guarantee.
