The media could not be loaded. I am writing this review right after I cooked eggs. I am a novice to cast iron, and this is my first enamel cast iron purchase. Maybe it was silly to buy such an expensive pan for my first cast iron use, but I know this brand has an amazing reputation. Before I purchased this pan, I read the reviews on here, read articles, and watched YouTube videos on how to use. I’m glad I did, because as you can see from the pics and video I posted, nothing stuck to the pan. Thank you reviewers! Preheat on low heat (6 on stove) with oil or butter for about 3 mins. Since the pan retains heat well, continue cooking on low. If I (a novice) was able to cook something in this pan the first time without any sticking, so can you! The pan is surprisingly heavy, so please be careful when lifting because you can easily hurt your wrists. I’m extremely happy with my purchase and I can’t wait to cook other dishes in this stunning pan!Update 11/2/23 - I am still enjoying the pan and I cook mostly eggs and beans in it. I’ve noticed that food taste better with this pan vs. my Teflon pans. Eggs for example, is a lot more flavorful. I do not use a lot of butter and food sticks slightly, but I’ve figured out how to clean the pan properly: add hot water to the pan after cooking, soak for a few minutes, then gently scrape off the stuck bits with a wooden spoon. You can also use a scrub brush. Wipe dry after. Simple care!This is my first Le Creuset cookware piece and I am thinking of buying the signature cerise saucepan as my second piece.

my wife loves cast-iron pans, but we can’t use them on the glass cooktops. She also likes to cook at high temperature and has gone through numerous nonstick pans. This enamel cast-iron pan is perfect for her and is holding up really well. The enamel bottom is not bad for the glass cooktop and she cooks at high temperature without ruining the nonstick surface.

This looks so elegant with a tough of color then a typical cast iron. I love how much smaller it is but you can still cook a nice piece of steak in it. It is still heavy but not as heavy as it's smaller in size.

This skillet is excellent quality and easy to use. It is perfect for cooking burgers, eggs, or a well-seared steak. The enameled cast iron delivers superior heat distribution and retention, and the black satin interior enamel develops a patina over time to enhance cooking performance. The skillet is durable and easy to clean, with an enamel coating that resists chips and cracks. The pour spouts on either side make it easy to pour out liquids, and the helper handle provides stability and control. Overall, I would highly recommend this skillet to anyone looking for a high-quality, versatile, and durable option for their kitchen.

Love my cast iron pan!The heat distribution is fantastic!So far I’ve cooked eggs and pork chops, steaks, and I have not had to preseason the pan. Another thing I want to add is it cooks the food evenly!I like to add a little oil in the pan per my preference when cooking my meals just to make sure nothing sticks.The pan is a little heavy, which is typical for cast iron. It feels very sturdy. Cleanup has been very easy, I just rinse it with water.Overall the pan has been great, the only downfall is I didn’t realize how small it is.I rated it 4 stars due to the fact that I expected it to be bigger then it is, but it does the job and it came it great condition so i decided to keep it.It works for a couple people making small meals, but I do not recommend if feeding for families or guests.So if you live alone or feeding 2 people then this size is perfect for your needs.

I've never had good luck with regular cast iron pans but enameled cast iron is a real joy to use and to get a beautiful pan like this for $90 is a steal!

Is a great pan, the first time I used I didn’t hear enough so eggs stick a little, the second time very smooth. Somehow the food tastes so much better. I was at first concern with the size because is on smaller end but end up liking it, it small but perfect to cook things individually vs smashing all together what I was doing with large pans. Cleaning is very easy, I use a regular sponge and salt for now.The cons: somehow it doesn’t look perfect, the layers are uneven, small imperfections!Pros it looks gorgeous on the stove and fun things to use/own
