One important feature of the Le Creuset
enameled skillet is that foods can be stored in it. This makes it exceptional
for marinating foods prior to cooking or for storing leftovers in the fridge for
later use. Although in all practicality I couldn't see myself storing foods in
this pan, the option is always there if needed.
This pan has the advantage of being suitable for a variety of heat sources
including gas, electric, halogen top and induction stovetops.
Another advantage to this cookware is that it is
oven proof to 400F so food can be transferred from the stovetop to the oven in
the same pan without the need to use a different piece of cookware. So saves on
washing up.
This cast iron skillet distributes heat well so
foods brown evenly. And as with all cast iron cookware the pan also retains heat
extremely well, meaning that foods stay warmer for longer.
What this also means is that you do not need high
temperatures in order to cook foods in this skillet. This is great in terms of
energy savings.
The stylish good looks of this skillet make it
perfect for transferring foods straight from stovetop to table. Just be aware,
however, that these pans can retain heat for long periods so you will want to
ensure that your tabletop is protected and take care to avoid burns by ensuring
that your hands do not come into contact with the hot pan.
The pierced handle allows you to hang it on a
pot rack but ensure that your pot rack has enough strength to hold this
heavy pan.
