Le Creuset revived this vintage classic for today's kitchens. Featuring a handsome stay-cool wood handle, the charming cast iron skillet provides excellent heat retention with a durable and crisp white porcelain enamel glaze. Sloped sides make it easy to stir sauces or flip omelettes, and the nonreactive black satin enamel cooking surface requires no seasoning, developing a non-stick patina over time. This is the perfect pan for searing, sauteing and frying all your stovetop favorites.Revered by both professional chefs and home cooks since its 1925 debut, Le Creuset's classic French cookware is prized for its utilitarian beauty and unsurpassed heat retention.
