The Le Creuset Non-Stick Ceramic Deep Frying Pan is built for the kind of cooking where a standard frying pan runs out of room. The deeper sides contain splashing when browning meats and give enough space to cook family-sized portions without having to batch cook in turns. A helper handle opposite the main grip makes it easier to lift and move when full. The PFAS-free ceramic coating provides good non-stick release and cleans up quickly, and the forged aluminium body with encased induction disc works across all hob types.
Features:
PFAS-free ceramic coating: Applied all over the pan, the ceramic coating provides strong non-stick release and wipes clean easily, and is made without PFAS.
Forged heavy-gauge aluminium body: The forged aluminium construction distributes heat evenly across the cooking surface, reducing hot spots and helping food cook consistently.
Fully encased stainless steel induction disc: A stainless steel disc is permanently encased in the base, making the pan fully compatible with induction hobs as well as all other heat sources.
Oven safe to 280 degrees C: The pan can go from hob to oven up to 280 degrees C, or 220 degrees C with a Le Creuset glass lid, adding versatility to hob-to-oven cooking.
Metal utensil safe and warp-resistant: The durable coating can withstand contact with metal utensils, and a reinforced rim prevents the pan from warping over time.

Care instructions:
Everyday cleaning: Wash by hand with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge after each use. The ceramic coating releases food easily, so soaking is rarely needed.
Dishwasher use: The pan is dishwasher-safe, though hand washing is recommended to maintain the coating and extend the life of the finish.
Cooking temperature: The ceramic coating performs best on low to medium heat. High heat is rarely needed and can accelerate wear on any non-stick surface over time.
Utensils: Metal utensils can be used, but silicone or wooden tools will extend the life of the coating. Avoid sharp or cutting implements directly in the pan.
What to avoid: Do not use aerosol cooking sprays, as these can build up on the ceramic surface and reduce its release properties. Do not stack pans directly without protection between them.
Questions and answers:
Is this compatible with induction hobs?
Yes. All Le Creuset Essential Non-Stick Ceramic pieces have a fully encased stainless steel disc in the base, which makes them compatible with induction as well as gas, electric, ceramic glass, and grill.
Can I use metal utensils with this pan?
Yes, the coating is rated as metal utensil safe. That said, using silicone or wooden tools as a first preference will help the coating last longer. Sharp or cutting implements directly in the pan are best avoided.
Does the lid come included?
No, the glass lid is sold separately. The pan is oven safe to 280 degrees C without a lid, or 220 degrees C when used with a Le Creuset heat-resistant glass lid.
What does the helper handle do?
The helper handle on the opposite side from the main grip gives you a second point of control when the pan is full and heavy. It makes moving a loaded pan from hob to table or oven considerably safer and more comfortable, particularly in the 30cm size.
