Best van purchase yet!
I needed a compact solution for cooking in our van. We have only ones drawer, and one burner on our cooktop. This not only is beautiful and good quality, but also worked wonders when I needed to cook a protein and veggies to be completed together. Cooked meat on grill side first, then kept hot by stacking over main pot as it cooked veggies directly on burner. Essentially “steaming†and turned out perfect! Want another for my house! Heavy and cleaned up easily (slight sticking with eggs using butter, but that’s an issue with every pan I’ve ever used). Five stars!
LeCreuset quality at an affordable price
Great cookware, easy to clean and affordable.
Great universal pan!
Just received this pan yesterday but I really love it so far. Cooked our first meal in it tonight and it did beautifully. Started by sautéing on the stove, address chicken and transferred to the oven with lid on, then took it back out after an hour to add pasta and continue to cook on the stove. It worked wonderfully, this is a great pot for “one pot†dishes. I haven’t tried the grill side of the lid yet but I plan to soon. Cleanup was easy, everything came off no problem. Proper knowledge of cooking with cast iron, especially enameled cast iron is viral for keeping this pan in pristine condition. It will scratch if you use metal, and it is not like a standard nonstick pan. I got the “blue†pan, but it is a lot closer to a dark teal or aqua, which is what I wanted anyways.
'Cast Iron Goodness!'
I had been in the market for a new cast iron pan since my last one just could not go any longer. Sidenote: ( It is a little hard when you know you have to let something go). Anyways I wanted a dutch oven/cast iron skillet, and I happen upon this beauty and what do you know,..a combination of both. I usually go by way of (BedBath&Beyond), but this time I wanted something different. Style: A grade; perfect cylindrical flat top, with reversible skillet function. Material; A grade; Perfectly seasoned (how you can tell is the shiny/glossy look), an unseasoned pan will have a dull worn visual to it. Performance: A grade; As long you don't mind the tedious regiment of deep cleaning it after every use, you're good to go. If you look in the third image I also have a [highly recommended] cleaning solution that I also got on Amazon. Very simple instructions to clean with, & keeps your cast iron dutch oven looking good for years to come.
