Signature Cast Iron Everyday Pan, 11", Cerise

This is a great pan! I've made everything from cornbread to smothered chicken! I love the roomy handles. This pan is worth the price!

I have had a Le Creuset dutch oven for over 20 years and I love it. My dutch oven is great for many things, but this pan is so much more versatile and I use it much more. This is lighter, wider, and deep “enough” for most things I make. It is easy to clean and retains heat well on my electric (glass) cooktop. I have yet to find a “hot spot” or experienced uneven cooking (which often happens with my green pan skillets on the same cooktop.) I knew that the pan did not come with a lid and thought that I would not mind - but it turns out that I did mind. At first I used my old stand-by - a pizza pan, but then I tried the largest lid I own, a glass and metal model (pictured) from 1KEA - it fits perfectly and is super light weight! This combo is now the closest thing to perfect that I have in my kitchen.

I have been using another brand of cast iron for years. The cookware has performed well. However this pan is now my go to pan. Cleaning is easy and fast. The pan is somewhat lighter. Heat is distributed more evenly than in the other cast iron but that could be the cooktop itself. Pan is pricey but worth it

This is an extremely well made, hugely versatile pan. I use it often and consider it to be a mainstay of my kitchen cookware. Highly recommend, worth every penny.

Live it was it came with lid

The Le Creuset Everyday Pan is my “go to” pan for its size and ease of use and storage. I store my Le Crescent cookware on a heavy duty wrought iron rack. The classic Dutch oven nests inside of my everyday pan. Clean up is a breeze with its enamel black satin interior finish. I have an induction cooktop and and all of my Le Creuset cookware works effortlessly. I have even flawless cooking every single time. Great value for the price and there aren’t many cookware brands out there that can become family heirlooms like this brand.

The aesthetics of this pan cannot be overstated. Of the many LC pieces I have this is the one that lives on the cooktop. It is the new kitchen workhorse and a pleasure to look at. Like others I added this to a collection of LC cookware. I already had a 12” skillet, a 30 cm braiser (3 1/2 qts) and a 26 cm braiser (2 qts). Why buy another? This pan has the dark enamel interior of the skillet and the capacity of the 30 cm braiser. The dark interior browns foods very well, it seems less sticky to me than the traditional LC light enamel interior at higher temps. The big difference between this pan and the braisers is that this one has slightly taller, straight sides. This somehow makes it fit better on a stovetop and easier to use. It is extremely well-sized for ‘Serves 4’ recipes, and any recipe calling for a 12” non-stick skillet works well too. It will also fill the role of a 9” x 13” casserole dish. The absence of a lid was not a problem to me. I got a 28 cm LC loop-handled lid from a European vendor, the same as I have for my other LC pieces. The only LC piece I know of that ships with a glass lid is their wok. Including an iron lid would significantly increase the price. However, it’s worth thinking about, as many ‘Serves 4’ recipes you might want to make in this require a cover (lid) at some point. I had to wait until my lid arrived to make those!

I absolutely love Le Creuset, and so happy to add this pan to my collection of cookware. Great quality, cooks food to perfection! And I got this for a great price.
