Le Creuset 10-1/4″ Signature Skillet
Cast iron skillets are indispensable in the kitchens of home cooks and professional chefs alike. The interior surface of a Le Creuset skillet is finished with a matte black enamel that eliminates the need for the traditional seasoning and maintenance of raw cast iron. Specially formulated for high-surface temperature cooking, the enamel develops a natural patina over time that is ideal for searing, sauteing and frying.
Top Quality Design
Le Creuset produced the first enameled cast iron cookware nearly a century ago, and the original foundry still perates today, where 15 skilled artisans hand-inspect each piece. This tradition of the finest culinary craftsmanship, combined with the latest innovations in comfort and functionality, make Le Creuset unsurpassed in both beauty and quality.
Enameled Cast Iron
Since 1925, Le Creuset cast iron has been recognized for its strength and durability. Cast individually in sand molds, then hand-inspected by French artisans, each piece represents a rich heritage and continues a tradition of lasting, authentic design.
Heat Retention
Cast iron distributes heat slowly and evenly over the entire vessel, making it ideal for all forms of cooking, whether slow-cooking, roasting, searing, stir-frying or baking.
Smooth Exterior Enamel
The glass-like finish in our ovens and braisers promotes caramelization, resists staining and prevents sticking to make cleanup easy.
Black Interior Enamel
The black interior of these skillets is specially formulated for high-temperature cooking, and does not require seasoning.

Eggs don’t stick. I make eggs pretty much every morning, and I wanted to replace my teflon for the usual reasons. I’d read a lot of mixed reviews about eggs sticking to enameled cast iron, and since it was a concern of mine, I wanted to report back. Good news – if you use a few simple techniques others have suggested online, this skillet will cook eggs that slide easily across and out of the pan. It’s ALMOST as silky as teflon, without the drawbacks.1. After initially washing, I heated some oil in…
