Sear, brown and crisp using the Le Creuset Signature Satin Black Cast Iron 23cm Skillet. Le Creuset cast iron skillets have long been treasured kitchen staples for stovetop frying and oven baking. They are perfect for searing meat, poultry, and fish by creating a browned caramelised surface and sealing in moisture. Using the pan juices to make a sauce after cooking foods like steak will give depth of flavour. Extremely versatile, this frying pan with a metal handle, can withstand any cooking temperature, so can be used on the hob, on the barbecue or in the oven for a vast array of cooking tasks including making fish cakes and frittata or baking a dessert. Le Creuset Signature cast iron skillets are a flat based frying pan with shallow sloping sides featuring a convenient helper handle for easier lifting and added control when moving between hob (including induction), oven and table. There are also spouts on two sides allowing drip-free pouring. The skillet is coated with Le Creuset's specialist satin black enamel finish. Very 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. Handcrafted at the Le Creuset foundry in northern France, Le Creuset cast iron cookware works efficiently at low to medium cooking temperatures and has even heat distribution and superior heat retention for great cooking results. Long-lasting exterior enamel resists chipping and cracking. Dishwasher safe, although hand washing is recommended. Dimensions: L40.7cm x W26.9cm x H5cm. Weight: 1.93kg.
