Full details

The Le Creuset Non-Stick Ceramic Frying Pan is designed for home cooks seeking a reliable, versatile, and easy-to-clean pan for everyday searing, browning, and sautéing. Its key benefit lies in its excellent non-stick performance and even heat distribution, minimizing the need for excess oil and simplifying cleanup. However, while durable, the non-stick coating requires proper care to maintain its longevity. This all-purpose pan features a heavy-gauge aluminum core, a PFAS-free ceramic coating for superior food release, a durable stainless steel base for hob compatibility, and an ergonomic handle for comfort.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the non-stick coating safe?

Yes, the advanced ceramic coating is made without PFAS, PFOA, or other harmful chemicals, ensuring a safe cooking surface.

Can I use metal utensils with this pan?

The durable coating is designed to be metal utensil-safe, but to maximize the lifespan of the non-stick surface, it is recommended to use nylon, silicone, or wooden utensils.

Can I put this pan in the dishwasher?

Hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity and performance of the non-stick coating. Dishwasher detergents can be harsh and may degrade the surface over time.

What is the warranty period for this frying pan?

The Le Creuset Non-Stick Ceramic Frying Pan comes with a 10-year warranty period.

How do I preheat the pan properly?

Preheat the pan over medium-low to medium heat for 1-2 minutes before adding oil or food. Avoid using high heat for preheating, as this can damage the non-stick surface.

Can I use this pan on an induction cooktop?

Yes, the fully encapsulated stainless steel base makes this pan compatible with induction hobs, as well as ceramic, electric, and gas cooktops.

What is the temperature limit for oven use?

The pan is oven-safe up to 280°C (535°F). If using a Le Creuset heat-resistant glass lid, the maximum oven temperature is 220°C (430°F).

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the surface

Ensure the pan is adequately preheated before adding food. If using oil, ensure a thin, even layer is applied. Check if the non-stick coating is worn or damaged; if so, consider re-seasoning or replacement.

Uneven cooking or hot spots

Verify the heat setting is appropriate for the food being cooked. Ensure the pan is placed centrally on the hob burner or induction zone. Check that the heavy-gauge aluminum core is functioning correctly.

Pan warping

The reinforced rim is designed to prevent warping. If warping occurs, it may be due to extreme temperature shock. Ensure the pan is cooled gradually and avoid exposing it to sudden, intense heat.

Stains on the cooking surface

While the pan is designed to be stain-resistant, some colored foods or high-heat cooking can cause minor discoloration. Try soaking with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid abrasive scrubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Before first use, wash the pan with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Lightly coat the interior with cooking oil and wipe away excess with a paper towel to season the non-stick surface.

Compatibility:

This frying pan is compatible with all hob types, including Ceramic, Electric, Gas, and Induction. It is also oven-safe up to 280°C (220°C if using a heat-resistant Le Creuset glass lid).

Care & Cleaning:

  • Allow the pan to cool before washing.
  • Hand wash with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Avoid steel wool or abrasive scouring pads.
  • Do not use harsh detergents or oven cleaners.
  • While the non-stick coating is durable and metal utensil-safe, it is recommended to use nylon, silicone, or wooden utensils to prolong its lifespan.
  • Avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g., placing a hot pan in cold water).
  • For stubborn residue, soak the pan in warm, soapy water for a short period before cleaning. Do not use metal utensils to scrape.
  • Dishwasher use is not recommended, as it can degrade the non-stick coating and finish over time.
