Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 11-3/4-Inch Skillet with Iron Handle, Red
Customer Review: I like that it has no teflon
Summary: 3 Stars
Not really that happy with this product, but I would buy it again. News from the non-stick front is not good these days, so I was prompted to change my cooking habits. This first step is buying new cookware, and I have begun to buy the LeCrucet line. Main problem with the Le Crucet is that it takes an awfully long time to heat, and when heated has a very uneven cooking surface. I cook on a professional stove and still get the 'half-browned pancake' effect. The middle heats far quicker then the outside edge of the cook surface. That being said, I'm still far happier to cook on the cast-iron product than on non-stick.Customer Review: worst pan ever - everything sticks
Summary: 1 Stars
Concerned about non stick teflon surfaces I purchased this pan, along with the grill pan - this is the worst frying pan I have ever used (caphalon, magnalite, cooks, revereware and various inexpensive teflon pans) Everything sticks! The heat does have uneven distribution in the pan, I'm not sure why, and no matter the oil used eggs, fish, burgers, everything sticks. An expensive mistake, I ended up throwing it in the recycling bin. I will say that I have a few Le Crueset oval cooking dishes which are enameled on the interior and I love them, which is what encouraged me to try the fry pan. Take your money elsewhere.Customer Review: This Le Creuset Skillet is Wonderful !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just received this skillet and am really happy with it. I was worried after reading some of the other reviews about food sticking. I made pancakes in this pan yesterday AM and they were perfect! No sticking at all. I just used a little spray of canola oil before cooking each pancake and there were no worries. I didn't season the pan but the literature that came with the skillet states that a brown patina will develop with use, which will help even further to prevent sticking. The skillet is easy to clean, too. This is a super great cast iron skillet.Customer Review: Replacement
Summary: 5 Stars
After my son-in-law inexplicably destroyed my beloved All-Clad 12" skillet, I decided to replace it with one which I believed would be better.
I wasn't mistaken. The Le Creuset 11 3/4" skillet's performance is totally superior -- bigger cooking area, too. It holds the temp steady; there are no hot spots.
Cast iron is not light, but none of the competition can compare, except my (late grandmother's) totally pristine mol 90 year old Lodge nominal 12" which is profoundly better, but lacks the flexibility.
Customer Review: Absolutely wonderful!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this pan! We have a large family and I easily fit 5-6 chicken breasts in this pan at one time.
You don't have to cook with high heat because this pan easily distributes the heat evenly. Low heat is also best so the food doesn't stick.
Clean up is really easy!!! Warm, soapy water and that's it!
This is definitely a quality made pan. I have several pieces from Le Creuset and know they will last me through my lifetime.
