However, hand washing is recommended to maintain the stainless steel's appearance. If you notice discolouration or water marks from the dishwasher, these can be removed with stainless steel cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use metal utensils in this roaster?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, metal utensils can be used with care in stainless steel cookware. Avoid harsh scraping or knocking metal tools against the rim. Le Creuset recommends silicone, wooden, or heat-resistant plastic tools for best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhy does stainless steel sometimes develop rainbow marks or discolouration?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRainbow marks or heat tint on stainless steel are caused by high heat and are cosmetic only—they don't affect performance. White marks are typically mineral deposits from water. Both can be removed with stainless steel cleaner, lemon juice, or vinegar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use this roaster for bain-marie cooking?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the roaster is suitable for bain-marie (water bath) cooking in the oven.

Wash in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Condition the interior surface by rubbing vegetable or corn oil over the entire surface using a paper towel. Rinse with hot water and dry thoroughly. When frying for the first time, add vegetable or corn oil to cover the base, heat gently whilst rotating to coat the sides, remove from heat, allow to cool, then clean with paper towels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing the right heat level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium or low heat achieves best results, even for frying and searing. Allow the roaster to heat up gradually for even cooking. If higher heat is needed, reduce the setting once the desired temperature is reached. The 3-ply construction conducts heat efficiently, so high heat is rarely necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoasting technique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Place meat on a rack or shelf rather than directly on the oven floor, which can cause uncontrolled cooking. Always use oven gloves when handling hot roaster. Use an appropriately sized hob ring when transferring to the hob—this ensures even heating and prevents handle damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaking gravy on the hob:\u003c\/strong\u003e After roasting, carefully transfer the roaster to the hob. Remove excess fat if desired, add wine or stock to deglaze, and scrape up the flavourful browned bits. The stainless steel surface won't react with acidic ingredients like wine or tomatoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor induction cooking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use an appropriately sized ring for best results. If the ring is too large, the hob may not recognise the roaster. Avoid using the 'boost' function—this should only be used for rapidly heating large volumes of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsing salt:\u003c\/strong\u003e Don't pour salt directly onto the stainless steel surface. To avoid pitting or marks, add salt to hot cooking liquid or food instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnder the grill:\u003c\/strong\u003e When using under the grill, maintain at least a 5cm (2 inch) gap between the heat source and the top of the roaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaily cleaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allow the roaster to cool for a few minutes before cleaning. Never plunge hot stainless steel into cold water—excessive temperature changes can damage the pan. Wash in warm soapy water with a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. For stuck-on food, soak in hot soapy water before cleaning. The roaster is dishwasher safe, though hand washing maintains the stainless steel's appearance better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemoving discolouration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rainbow marks (heat tint) or white marks (mineral deposits) are cosmetic only.

Wash in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. You may optionally season the pan by rubbing a thin layer of vegetable or corn oil over the interior surface, heating it gently until the oil begins to smoke, then wiping clean with paper towels once cooled. This initial seasoning can improve early performance but isn't essential for stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCooking technique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Preheat the pan on medium heat for 2-3 minutes before adding oil or butter. The pan is ready when a drop of water forms a ball and rolls across the surface. Add fat and let it heat until shimmering before adding food. Use medium to medium-high heat for most cooking - stainless steel is efficient and doesn't require maximum heat. Protein will release naturally when properly seared; if it's sticking firmly, it's not ready to turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor pan sauces:\u003c\/strong\u003e After cooking protein, don't wash away the fond (browned bits).

Don't plunge hot pans into cold water - thermal shock can warp even quality cookware. Wash in warm soapy water with a non-abrasive sponge. For stuck-on food, soak in warm water, then use Bar Keeper's Friend or a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water with a soft cloth. The pan is dishwasher safe, though hand washing preserves the polished finish longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvoid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leaving the empty pan over high heat (can cause discolouration), thermal shock from cold water on hot pans (can cause warping), adding salt directly to the dry pan surface (dissolve it in liquid first), using metal scouring pads or harsh abrasives (can scratch the surface), using the boost function on induction hobs except for boiling water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemoving discolouration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rainbow-coloured heat marks or white calcium deposits are harmless.

This means sauté pans are better suited to searing as there is more surface area while shallow casseroles are better suited to dishes with liquid as food is less likely to get stuck in the corners. Cook steak, fish, sautéed potatoes in the sauté pan. Cook hot pot, casseroles, or other saucy dishes in a shallow casserole. The double handles on the shallow casserole make it easier and safer to move when full as you have more control of the pan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs 30cm too large for most ovens?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 30cm size fits most standard UK ovens. The carefully positioned side handles (31.8cm total width) are designed to maximise oven compatibility.

A wide, shallow pan provides maximum surface area relative to depth, ensuring even heat distribution and proper crust formation.

Brown meat on the hob, add liquid, cover with the lid, and transfer to the oven. The wide base ensures even browning before braising, and the lid traps moisture during slow cooking.

Wash in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. You may optionally season the pan by rubbing a thin layer of vegetable or corn oil over the interior surface, heating it gently until the oil begins to smoke, then wiping clean with paper towels once cooled. This initial seasoning can improve early performance but isn't essential for stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCooking technique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Preheat the pan on medium heat for 2-3 minutes before adding oil or butter. The pan is ready when a drop of water forms a ball and rolls across the surface. Add fat and let it heat until shimmering before adding food. Use medium to medium-high heat for most cooking - stainless steel is efficient and doesn't require maximum heat. Protein will release naturally when properly seared; if it's sticking firmly, it's not ready to turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor pan sauces:\u003c\/strong\u003e After cooking protein, don't wash away the fond (browned bits).

It's more durable than non-stick coatings and safe at higher temperatures. However, it requires more oil or butter and proper preheating technique to prevent sticking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill food stick to this pan?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStainless steel is not non-stick, so food can stick if the pan isn't properly preheated or lacks sufficient fat. Preheat the pan on medium heat, add oil or butter, and let it heat until it shimmers before adding food.

The pan is ready when a drop of water forms a ball and rolls across the surface. Add fat and let it heat until shimmering before adding food. Use medium to medium-high heat for most cooking - stainless steel is efficient and doesn't require maximum heat.

Most UK ovens are 60cm wide internally, so this will fit comfortably with space either side. The depth including handles is 11cm, which Isabel mentions in her review as taking up more height than expected.

The 26cm square base and 7cm internal depth means it will comfortably hold a small chicken (up to 1.5kg), a joint for 2-4 people, or vegetables for 4-6 servings.

The 3-ply construction bonds an aluminium core between two stainless steel layers. Aluminium conducts heat efficiently whilst stainless steel provides durability and a non-reactive cooking surface. This combination delivers more even heating than single-layer stainless steel, reducing the risk of food sticking or burning in spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs this truly non-stick or do I need to season it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a non-stick coated pan - it's bare stainless steel. However, Isabel mentions in her review that after following the instructions before first use, she \"found it worked well and is non stick.\" Stainless steel develops non-stick properties when properly preheated and when cooking with adequate fat. The care instructions specify rubbing with vegetable oil before first use, which helps. Karen notes that roast potatoes \"did not stick\" and were \"really easy to clean.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expert-box\" id=\"customer-feedback\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Our Customers Tell Us\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on customer reviews, three themes emerge consistently. First, customers particularly value the dual functionality - several reviewers specifically mention using the roaster on the hob to make gravy from pan juices, with Janet calling this feature \"brilliant.\" This hob-to-oven versatility appears to be a key reason customers choose this roaster over aluminium alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, the quality and longevity receive repeated mention. Christine, Jacqueline, and Janet all reference the product \"lasting a lifetime,\" suggesting customers view this as a long-term investment rather than disposable cookware. Shelagh is on her second Le Creuset roaster, indicating satisfaction leads to repeat purchases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThird, the handles warrant attention. Whilst reviewers appreciate them for lifting, Isabel honestly notes they \"take up a lot of height in the oven\" and mentions getting wrist burns from the hot handles when dealing with food. Karen similarly advises being aware that the tin is deeper when handles are included, affecting shelf placement. Consider your oven shelf spacing and use oven gloves that extend past your wrists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs-box\" id=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (L x W x H):\u003c\/strong\u003e 31.2cm x 27.5cm x 11cm (including handles)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26cm x 26cm (cooking surface)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterior depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.4 litres\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.53kg\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-ply stainless steel (stainless steel exterior and interior with bonded aluminium core)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHob compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gas, electric, ceramic glass, and induction\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOven safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 260°C\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrill safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes - maintain minimum 6.5cm gap between grill element and pan\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes (handwash recommended)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFreezer safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrowave safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limited Lifetime Guarantee\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMPN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96106026000000\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"care-box\" id=\"care\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore first use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remove all packaging and labels.

This design contains liquids whilst still providing a wide surface for browning. You can brown ingredients first, then add liquid for braising or sauce-making without transferring to another pan. The 5.7L capacity is significantly larger than most frying pans of similar diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill this work on my induction hob?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this sauteuse includes a magnetic steel layer specifically designed for induction compatibility. The 3-ply construction ensures the aluminium core provides heat distribution whilst the magnetic base responds to induction. It works on all other hob types as well: gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use this in the oven with the lid on?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer specifies this pan is oven safe without the lid. The lid may have components such as handles or seals that aren't rated for oven use. For covered oven cooking, use the pan without its original lid or contact Le Creuset directly for specific temperature guidance on the lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow does 3-ply stainless steel compare to Le Creuset's cast iron?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStainless steel heats up and cools down faster than cast iron, providing more responsive temperature control. It's significantly lighter (3-ply pans typically weigh 2-3kg versus 4-5kg for equivalent cast iron). The uncoated stainless surface tolerates metal utensils and deglazes well for pan sauces. Cast iron retains heat longer once stabilised, making it better for slow braising. Choose stainless for quick-response cooking and lighter handling; choose cast iron for heat retention and presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs 5.7L capacity enough for a family of four?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, 5.7L comfortably serves 4-6 people for most recipes. This capacity holds approximately 6-8 chicken thighs with vegetables, 1.5kg of pasta with sauce, or curry for 6-8 portions. One customer specifically mentioned using it for a \"huge curry\" with the desired quantity. If you regularly cook for 8+ people, you may want to consider a larger size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill food stick to the uncoated stainless steel?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFood may stick initially if the pan isn't properly preheated or if you move ingredients too soon. Allow the pan to heat gradually, add fat, then let proteins develop a crust before turning. The sticking actually creates fond—browned bits that add flavour when deglazed. Once you develop the technique, stainless steel provides superior browning compared to non-stick surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expert-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Our Customers Tell Us\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on 19 reviews with a 5.0 rating, customers consistently mention three themes about this sauteuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBuild Quality and Finish\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMultiple customers describe it as \"extremely well made\" and note the quality justifies the investment.

The aluminium core conducts heat rapidly and distributes it evenly throughout the entire pan base and up the sides, eliminating the hot spots common in thinner, single-layer cookware. This bonded construction ensures gentle, even cooking that prevents burning whilst reducing energy consumption - you can use lower heat settings and still achieve excellent results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe close-fitting lid transforms cooking performance. By creating a seal, it traps steam and moisture inside the pan, reducing evaporation and allowing you to use less cooking liquid. This keeps vegetables vibrant and nutrient-rich, makes rice and pasta cook more efficiently, and intensifies flavours in sauces and reductions. The lid is oven safe alongside the pan, enabling one-pot hob-to-oven dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize selection depends on your cooking needs. The 14cm handles small portions, sauces for 1-2 people, and heating milk - compact with a single handle. The 16cm suits side dishes and vegetables for 2-3 people, adding a helper handle for easier lifting. The 18cm accommodates vegetables for 3-4 people, rice, and pasta sides. The 20cm handles main dishes, pasta for four, soups, and one-pot meals for 4-6 people. The helper handles on larger sizes prove invaluable when pans are full of hot liquid or heavy ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe precision pouring rim is carefully designed to direct liquids cleanly when you tilt the pan, preventing drips down the exterior that cause mess and waste. This seemingly small detail improves daily usability significantly when draining pasta water, pouring sauces, or transferring stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for those building foundational cookware collections, anyone seeking quality pans that last decades, cooks who value even heating and moisture retention, busy families who need rapid-heating cookware, and as exceptional wedding or housewarming gifts backed by Le Creuset's reputation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"qa\" class=\"qa-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Customers Ask About Le Creuset 3-ply Saucepan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat does 3-ply construction mean?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3-ply construction bonds premium-grade stainless steel and aluminium together in three layers.

Always allow pans to cool for a few minutes before washing. This practice maintains the flat base essential for even heating, particularly important on induction and electric hobs where warped pans won't make proper contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDo I need to use high heat with this pan?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the 3-ply construction's excellent heat distribution means medium or low heat produces best results, even for frying and searing. Let the pan heat gradually, then cook as normal. High heat can cause food to stick and may discolour the exterior over time. Lower heat gives better control and results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expert-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat We've Learned About Cookware Since 1972\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter five decades of selling cookware, we've learned that a properly fitting lid transforms cooking performance more than most cooks realise. The Le Creuset close-fitting lid creates a seal that retains moisture and flavour - particularly important for vegetables where you want to preserve nutrients and avoid waterlogged results. This simple feature turns a good pan into a versatile workhorse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3-ply construction represents genuine value for everyday cooking. The aluminium core conducts heat rapidly and evenly - far superior to thin single-layer pans where hot spots cause burning. Combined with the lid's moisture retention, these pans transform everyday tasks like cooking rice, steaming vegetables, or making sauces from frustrating to straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize selection matters. Many customers buy too large, then find the pan unwieldy for daily use. The 16cm or 18cm handles most everyday cooking for 2-4 people, whilst the 20cm suits larger families or batch cooking. The 14cm excels at sauces and small portions. Le Creuset's lifetime guarantee demonstrates these pans endure - proper care means they'll outlast multiple sets of cheaper alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"specs\" class=\"specs-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes Available:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14cm, 16cm, 18cm, 20cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Close-fitting lid with each size\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelper Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16cm, 18cm, 20cm models (14cm has single handle only)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14cm Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W16cm x H13.1cm x L33.2cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16cm Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W18cm x H13.3cm x L38.6cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18cm Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W20cm x H15cm x L42.9cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20cm Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W22cm x H16.2cm x L45cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-ply multi-layered stainless steel and aluminium\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium-grade stainless steel with aluminium core\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHob Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e All hobs including gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, induction\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOven Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 260°C (including lid and handles)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrowave Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Close-fitting lid, precision pouring rim, even heat distribution\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes (hand washing recommended)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFreezer Compatible:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufactured In:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lifetime guarantee\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"care\" class=\"care-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore First Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remove all labels and packaging from both pan and lid. Wash thoroughly in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry completely. This removes any manufacturing residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreheating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Place the empty pan on an appropriately sized hob ring and heat on medium for 1-2 minutes. The pan is ready when a drop of water forms a ball that rolls across the surface. Add fat or liquid, then add food. This prevents sticking and ensures even cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsing the Lid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Place the lid on the pan during cooking to retain moisture, speed cooking, and preserve nutrients. The close-fitting design creates a seal that reduces evaporation. Remove carefully using the lid handle - steam will escape when lifted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCooking Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use medium or low heat for best results. The 3-ply construction's excellent heat distribution makes high temperatures unnecessary. Let the pan heat gradually, then adjust heat as needed during cooking. The rapid heating means you'll reach cooking temperature quickly even on medium settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdding Salt:\u003c\/strong\u003e Never sprinkle salt directly onto the dry or cold stainless steel surface. Always add salt to hot cooking liquid or food where it dissolves immediately. This prevents pitting corrosion and maintains appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsing Metal Utensils:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal utensils can be used with care. Avoid harsh scraping or banging utensils against the rim. Le Creuset silicone, wooden, or heat-resistant plastic tools provide best results and maintain appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHob Ring Selection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use the most appropriately sized ring for your pan size. If the ring is too large, heat concentrates in the centre causing hot spots. On induction hobs, wrong-sized rings may prevent the hob from recognising the pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOven Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Both pan and lid are oven safe to 260°C including handles. Place on a shelf or rack, never directly on the oven floor. When using under the grill, maintain at least 5cm gap between heat source and pan top. Always use oven gloves when handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAfter Cooking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allow the pan and lid to cool for a few minutes before washing. Never plunge hot cookware into cold water or fill hot pans with cold water - thermal shock can cause warping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaily Cleaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wash pan and lid in warm soapy water with a soft sponge or cloth. For stubborn residue, soak briefly then clean. Whilst dishwasher safe, hand washing preserves the exterior finish longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStubborn Stains:\u003c\/strong\u003e For burnt-on food, fill with warm water and a small amount of washing-up liquid, bring to a simmer, then allow to cool and wash normally. For discolouration, specialist stainless steel cleaners restore shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrying and Storage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots. Store with care - placing paper towels between stacked pans prevents scratching. Store the lid separately or nested carefully to avoid scratching surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvoid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Never heat empty pans excessively. Don't use the induction 'boost' function except for rapidly heating large water volumes. Don't use harsh abrasives that could scratch the surface.

This means sauté pans are better suited to searing as there is more surface area while shallow casseroles are better suited to dishes with liquid as food is less likely to get stuck in the corners. Cook steak, fish, sautéed potatoes in the sauté pan. Cook hot pot, casseroles, or other saucy dishes in a shallow casserole. The double handles on the shallow casserole make it easier and safer to move when full as you have more control of the pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhich size should I choose?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 24cm suits 2-3 people for main dishes or 4 for sides. The 26cm handles 3-4 people comfortably. The 30cm is ideal for 4-6 people or when cooking larger quantities. For paella specifically, the wider the base, the better the socarrat (crispy bottom layer) development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhy is a wide base important for paella?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaella traditionally cooks in a thin, even layer to develop the socarrat - the prized crispy rice on the bottom. A wide, shallow pan provides maximum surface area relative to depth, ensuring even heat distribution and proper crust formation. The shallow sides also allow moisture to evaporate efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use this for braising?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it's excellent for braising. Brown meat on the hob, add liquid, cover with the lid, and transfer to the oven. The wide base ensures even browning before braising, and the lid traps moisture during slow cooking.

The 28cm (10.4L) accommodates larger quantities: stocks from whole chicken carcasses, ham joints, preserves, or batch-cooking for entertaining or freezing. Consider your typical cooking volumes and storage space – the larger size requires more cupboard room but offers versatility for occasional large-batch cooking even if you don't use it daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow does 3-ply stainless steel compare to cast iron for stockpots?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStainless steel heats and cools faster than cast iron, making it more responsive to temperature changes – useful when you need to quickly adjust cooking intensity. It's also significantly lighter, easier to move when filled with liquid, and requires no seasoning. Cast iron excels at heat retention for slow, even cooking and oven use, but for stockpots specifically used for liquids on the hob, many cooks prefer stainless steel's lighter weight and easier maintenance. The 3-ply construction in this Le Creuset pan addresses stainless steel's tendency toward hot spots by incorporating an aluminium core for even heat distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill this work on my induction hob?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, Le Creuset designs their Signature Stainless Steel range for all hob types including induction. The magnetic stainless steel base ensures compatibility with induction cooking whilst the 3-ply construction maintains even heating across the entire pan, not just the induction contact area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use this for making preserves or jam?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stockpot works well for preserves, particularly the 28cm size which provides adequate capacity and surface area. The stainless steel construction won't react with acidic ingredients like fruit, and the precision-pour rim helps when transferring hot jam to jars. The laser-etched capacity markings assist with following preserve recipes that specify liquid quantities. Ensure you monitor temperatures carefully as stainless steel conducts heat efficiently – preserves can reach setting point quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs the lifetime guarantee truly lifetime?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Creuset's lifetime guarantee covers manufacturing defects for as long as you own the product. This doesn't cover damage from misuse, accidents, or normal wear, but it does provide reassurance about the quality of materials and construction. If a manufacturing defect appears, Le Creuset will repair or replace the item. Keep your proof of purchase to facilitate any potential claims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expert-box\" id=\"customer-feedback\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Our Customers Tell Us\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on customer reviews, several consistent themes emerge about this stockpot. First, customers repeatedly emphasise the exceptional quality and construction. One reviewer notes the product \"should last a lifetime,\" whilst another confirms that \"the quality of their products are to a very high standard.\" This aligns with what we've observed in our 52 years selling Le Creuset: their stainless steel range matches the build quality that made their cast iron famous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, customers appreciate the versatility for specific tasks. One reviewer mentioned purchasing it specifically \"to cook ham\" and found it ideal for this purpose. This reflects a common pattern we see – customers often buy stockpots with a particular use in mind (stocks, ham, preserves, batch soups) and then discover the pan's versatility extends to numerous other applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThird, there's honest acknowledgement of the premium pricing. One customer noted it's a \"quality product but very pricey.\" In our experience helping customers select cookware since 1972, Le Creuset represents an investment rather than an expense. The lifetime guarantee, Portuguese manufacture, and construction quality justify the price for customers who cook regularly and value equipment that performs reliably for decades. For occasional cooks or those on tight budgets, less expensive alternatives may be more appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"comparison-box\" id=\"comparison\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStainless Steel vs Cast Iron Stockpots\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhen Stainless Steel Excels\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStainless steel stockpots like this Le Creuset model offer significant advantages for liquid-based cooking. They're substantially lighter than cast iron – important when lifting a pot containing several litres of stock or soup. They heat and cool quickly, providing responsive temperature control when you need to adjust cooking intensity. The non-reactive surface won't be affected by acidic ingredients like tomatoes, wine, or vinegar, and there's no seasoning to maintain. Stainless steel also allows you to use metal utensils without concern and tolerates rigorous scrubbing if food sticks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhen Cast Iron Has Advantages\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCast iron retains heat exceptionally well, making it ideal for dishes that benefit from steady, even warmth over long periods, such as slow-cooked casseroles or braises. It transitions seamlessly from hob to oven and can tolerate higher oven temperatures. For cooking methods where you're braising meat or cooking dishes that spend extended time in the oven, cast iron's heat retention provides advantages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFor Stockpots Specifically\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost professional kitchens and experienced home cooks choose stainless steel for stockpots. The lighter weight matters considerably when handling large volumes of liquid, and the rapid heat response helps when bringing stocks to the boil or adjusting simmering temperatures. The 3-ply construction in this Le Creuset pan addresses the main criticism of budget stainless steel pans – uneven heating – by incorporating an aluminium core that distributes heat effectively throughout the base and sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs-box\" id=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24cm diameter (6.6L capacity) or 28cm diameter (10.4L capacity)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-ply bonded stainless steel with aluminium core\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExterior Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mirror-polished stainless steel\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterior Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Laser-etched capacity markings for measurement\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLid Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Iconic Le Creuset three-ring design in stainless steel\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRim:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision-pour design for drip-free pouring\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHob Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e All hobs including gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, and induction\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOven Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 260°C (lid included)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrowave Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGuarantee:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lifetime\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufactured:\u003c\/strong\u003e Portugal\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"care-box\" id=\"care\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore first use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wash the stockpot and lid in hot soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely.

The 3-ply construction distributes heat efficiently, so you typically need less heat than with standard stainless steel. Avoid overheating empty pans. When cooking acidic foods like tomato-based stocks or preserves, the stainless steel won't react or affect flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaily cleaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allow the pan to cool before washing. Wash with hot soapy water using a soft cloth or sponge. For stuck-on food, fill the pan with warm soapy water and leave to soak before washing. The stockpot is dishwasher-safe, though handwashing may help maintain the mirror polish longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemoving stubborn stains:\u003c\/strong\u003e For water marks or heat discolouration, use a specialist stainless steel cleaner or a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water. Apply with a soft cloth, rub gently following the grain of the steel, then rinse and dry thoroughly. For burnt-on food, fill the pan with water, add a tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda, bring to the boil, and simmer for 10 minutes before washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaintaining the polish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry the stockpot immediately after washing to prevent water spots.

Avoid chlorine-based cleaners or bleach which can damage stainless steel.

The aluminium core conducts heat rapidly and evenly, whilst the stainless steel inner and outer layers provide durability, cooking surface quality, and hob compatibility. This bonded construction distributes heat throughout the entire pan base and up the sides, eliminating the hot spots common in thinner, single-layer cookware. The result is gentle, even cooking that prevents burning whilst reducing energy consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe helper handle - a smaller secondary handle opposite the main handle - transforms practical safety. When pans are full of soup, pasta water, or heavy casseroles, the ability to lift with both hands reduces strain and increases control. This feature proves particularly valuable when transferring hot pans from hob to oven or carrying to the table for service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three sizes address different cooking requirements. The 16cm pan handles sauces, porridge for two, heating milk, or small vegetable portions. The 18cm pan suits side dishes, vegetables for 2-4 people, or sauce quantities for family meals. The 20cm pan accommodates pasta for four, soups, main dish vegetables for 4-6 people, or one-pot meals. Together, they cover the vast majority of everyday saucepan requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStainless steel cookware requires slightly different technique than non-stick - proper preheating and using adequate fat prevents sticking. In return, you gain superior browning capability, durability that lasts decades, oven-safe flexibility, and freedom from coating degradation. The 260°C oven-safe rating means you can start dishes on the hob and finish in the oven, or use these pans for oven-based casseroles and braises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for those building foundational cookware collections, anyone seeking quality pans that last decades, cooks who value even heating and versatility, and as exceptional wedding or housewarming gifts backed by Le Creuset's reputation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"qa-box\" id=\"qa\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Customers Ask About Le Creuset 3-ply Saucepan Set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat does 3-ply construction mean?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3-ply construction bonds premium-grade stainless steel and aluminium together in three layers.

This allows you to start dishes on the hob and finish them in the oven, or use the saucepans for oven-braising. Always use oven gloves when handling hot cookware.

However, avoid harsh scraping or knocking metal utensils on the rim. Le Creuset recommends silicone, wooden, or heat-resistant plastic tools for best results and to maintain the pan's appearance over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhy shouldn't I add salt directly to the stainless steel surface?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUndissolved salt crystals sitting on stainless steel can cause pitting corrosion over time. Always add salt to hot cooking liquid or food where it dissolves immediately, rather than sprinkling it directly onto the dry or cold stainless steel surface. This simple practice maintains the pan's appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan these go in the dishwasher?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, these saucepans are dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with warm soapy water helps preserve the exterior finish and appearance longer. If using the dishwasher, harsh detergents may cause some discolouration over time, though this doesn't affect cooking performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat does the Le Creuset lifetime guarantee cover?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Creuset's lifetime guarantee covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.

Always allow pans to cool for a few minutes before washing. This practice maintains the flat base essential for even heating, particularly important on induction and electric hobs where warped pans won't make proper contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDo I need to use high heat with these pans?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the 3-ply construction's excellent heat distribution means medium or low heat produces best results, even for frying and searing. Let the pan heat gradually, then cook as normal. High heat can cause food to stick and may discolour the exterior over time.

The aluminium core conducts heat rapidly and evenly - far superior to thin single-layer pans where hot spots cause burning. The stainless steel layers provide durability and versatility that non-stick coatings cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Creuset's reputation is built on products that last decades rather than years. Whilst the initial investment exceeds basic cookware, proper care means these saucepans will outlast multiple sets of cheaper alternatives. The lifetime guarantee demonstrates this confidence - Le Creuset knows these pans endure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three-size set covers approximately 80% of everyday saucepan needs. Customers occasionally ask if they need more sizes - usually not. The 16cm, 18cm, and 20cm range handles everything from morning porridge to evening pasta, with helper handles making full pans manageable.

Wash thoroughly in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry completely. This removes any manufacturing residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreheating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Place the empty pan on an appropriately sized hob ring and heat on medium for 1-2 minutes. The pan is ready when a drop of water forms a ball that rolls across the surface. Add fat or liquid, then add food. This prevents sticking and ensures even cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCooking Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use medium or low heat for best results, even for frying and searing. The 3-ply construction's excellent heat distribution makes high temperatures unnecessary. Let the pan heat gradually, then adjust heat as needed during cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdding Salt:\u003c\/strong\u003e Never sprinkle salt directly onto the dry or cold stainless steel surface. Always add salt to hot cooking liquid or food where it dissolves immediately. This prevents pitting corrosion and maintains appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsing Metal Utensils:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal utensils can be used with care. Avoid harsh scraping or banging utensils against the rim. Le Creuset silicone, wooden, or heat-resistant plastic tools provide best results and maintain appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHob Ring Selection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use the most appropriately sized ring for each pan. If the ring is too large, heat concentrates in the centre causing hot spots. On induction hobs, wrong-sized rings may prevent the hob from recognising the pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOven Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e These pans are oven safe to 260°C including handles. Place on a shelf or rack, never directly on the oven floor. When using under the grill, maintain at least 5cm gap between heat source and pan top. Always use oven gloves when handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAfter Cooking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allow the pan to cool for a few minutes before washing. Never plunge hot pans into cold water or fill hot pans with cold water - thermal shock can cause warping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaily Cleaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wash in warm soapy water with a soft sponge or cloth. For stubborn residue, soak briefly then clean. Whilst dishwasher safe, hand washing preserves the exterior finish longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStubborn Stains:\u003c\/strong\u003e For burnt-on food, fill with warm water and a small amount of washing-up liquid, bring to a simmer, then allow to cool and wash normally. For discolouration, specialist stainless steel cleaners restore shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrying and Storage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots. Store with care - placing paper towels between stacked pans prevents scratching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvoid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Never heat empty pans excessively. Don't use the induction 'boost' function except for rapidly heating large water volumes. Don't use harsh abrasives that could scratch the surface. Don't leave unattended on heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"trust-box\" id=\"guarantees\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 0; color: #2c5530; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eWhy Buy From Art of Living?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in Reigate in 1972, we've spent over five decades helping customers select quality cookware.

However, it requires proper preheating and some fat to prevent sticking. Food releases naturally when properly seared. Non-stick pans are easier for delicate foods like fish or eggs but cannot achieve the same level of browning. If you primarily cook items that need developing a crust, stainless steel excels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use metal utensils?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the uncoated stainless steel interior tolerates metal utensils without damage. However, Le Creuset recommends their silicone tools or wooden implements to minimise scratching and maintain the polished appearance. The pan will still function perfectly with light scratching - it's an aesthetic consideration rather than a performance one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat's the difference between 3-ply and single-layer stainless steel?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle-layer stainless steel conducts heat poorly, creating hot spots where food burns whilst other areas undercook. The 3-ply construction bonds an aluminium core between steel layers - aluminium spreads heat rapidly whilst steel provides durability and a non-reactive cooking surface. This means more even cooking with less attention needed to prevent burning. Heat travels up the sides too, not just the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expert-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Our Customers Tell Us\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on verified reviews, customers consistently mention several key benefits of this frying pan range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHeating Efficiency\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMultiple customers note that these pans heat up noticeably faster than their previous cookware.

This setup allows you to cook an entire meal simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDuring cooking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monitor through the glass lid rather than lifting it frequently - each time you lift the lid, steam escapes and cooking slows. Check water levels for longer cooking times and top up with boiling water if needed. Never let the pan boil dry. Use the all-round lifting rim with oven gloves to safely handle the steamer - it will be hot from the steam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAfter cooking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use oven gloves to remove the steamer from the pan. Tilt slightly to allow any condensation to drain back into the pan. If stacked, separate the steamers carefully - steam will escape. Place on a heat-resistant surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCleaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allow the steamer and glass lid to cool for a few minutes before washing. Don't plunge hot stainless steel into cold water - excessive temperature changes may cause damage. Wash in warm, soapy water or place in the dishwasher. For stubborn residue, soak before washing. Dry thoroughly before storing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store the steamer with the glass lid either nested inside or separately. Ensure both are completely dry to prevent water spots or moisture issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"faq\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat if I've used it and don't like it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReturn it anyway.

It's genuinely useful for single eggs (no wasted surface area), melting butter without a double boiler, toasting one slice of bread, reheating single portions, or cooking for one person without heating a large pan. However, it's too small for most family cooking. Consider this a supplementary pan rather than a primary frying pan—useful if you frequently cook individual portions or want energy efficiency for small tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat's the difference between hard anodised and regular aluminium?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard anodisation is an electrochemical process that transforms the aluminium's surface into a hard, durable oxide layer. This makes the pan significantly more scratch-resistant and durable than regular aluminium, and creates a darker, non-reactive surface. The process also improves corrosion resistance. Hard anodised aluminium sits between regular aluminium (lightweight but less durable) and stainless steel (very durable but heavier and more expensive) in terms of durability and price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I really use metal utensils on this?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreenPan states the diamond-enhanced coating tolerates metal utensils. However, using gentle pressure with metal utensils will extend the coating's life more than aggressive scraping. Silicone, wood, or nylon utensils remain the safest choice for maximum coating longevity. The hard anodised body itself is very scratch-resistant, but the ceramic coating—whilst more durable than standard ceramic—is still a consumable surface that will eventually wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs this too small for cooking bacon?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, for multiple rashers. You might fit 1-2 small rashers, but they'll need to be cut or folded. Standard bacon rashers are typically 15-20cm long, which exceeds this pan's 14cm diameter. For bacon, a 20cm or larger frying pan works better. This mini pan excels at tasks naturally suited to its size—eggs, small toasts, reheating individual portions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill this save energy compared to heating a larger pan?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, to some extent. Smaller pans require less energy to heat and maintain temperature. For very quick tasks (melting butter, frying one egg), the energy saving is minimal. For longer cooking (10+ minutes), a smaller pan does use less energy. The main benefit is convenience and speed—it heats quickly for small tasks without waiting for a large pan to warm up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I make a small omelette in this?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can make a one-egg omelette. Two eggs would be cramped and difficult to fold properly. For a standard 2-3 egg omelette, you need at least an 18-20cm pan.

However, ceramic non-stick coatings are consumable surfaces that typically maintain good performance for 3-5 years of regular use (warranted for 5 years). Eventually, you'll need to replace the pans when the coating degrades.

Ceramic non-stick performs best at moderate temperatures and aluminium heats quickly. Preheat gradually for 1-2 minutes before adding food.

Choose this casserole for dishes requiring both browning and simmering in the same pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I brown meat properly in a ceramic non-stick pan?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can brown meat on low-medium heat, but ceramic non-stick won't achieve the same depth of browning as stainless steel or cast iron. The wide, shallow casserole shape helps by providing good surface area for spreading ingredients out. Ensure the pan is properly preheated, pat meat dry, and don't overcrowd. For deep browning and fond development, stainless steel or cast iron performs better, but this casserole provides adequate browning for most home cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use this for rice pilaf or risotto?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this casserole works well for both. The wide surface allows you to sauté aromatics (onions, garlic) before adding rice and liquid. The 20cm holds risotto for 4 people; the 24cm for 6 people. The glass lid lets you monitor liquid absorption without lifting. The non-stick surface makes stirring risotto easier and cleanup simpler than stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs the lid oven safe to the same temperature?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tempered glass lid's oven temperature rating may differ from the pan's 220°C limit. Check the lid for specific markings or contact GreenPan for confirmation. Glass lids typically tolerate oven temperatures, but the handle or rim seal may have lower limits. If in doubt, use the casserole in the oven without its lid or below 180°C with the lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I cook pasta in the 20cm or 24cm casserole?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but with limitations. The 20cm (3.1L) accommodates pasta for 2-3 people with adequate water. The 24cm (4.9L) handles pasta for 4-5 people. For larger quantities or if you prefer more generous water volume, a dedicated 6L+ pasta pot works better. These casseroles are more versatile than pasta pots but offer less capacity for boiling tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhy does this have 25% more cooking surface?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreenPan's Copenhagen range uses an optimised shape with slightly lower, more angled sides compared to traditional casserole designs. This increases the flat base area, providing approximately 25% more usable cooking surface.

Ceramic non-stick performs best at moderate temperatures and aluminium heats quickly. Preheat gradually for 1-2 minutes before adding food. For browning, allow meat to develop a crust before turning.

Many cooks already have universal lids or prefer to purchase specific lid sizes separately. If you need a lid, measure the interior rim diameter to ensure proper fit.

The 18cm version holds 2L and weighs 0.93kg—better for 2-4 portions and general family cooking. Choose 16cm if you primarily cook for one or two; choose 18cm for more versatile everyday use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use this for making jam or preserves?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, ceramic non-stick isn't suitable for jam-making. The high sugar content and extended high heat required for preserving can damage ceramic coatings permanently. Sugar can caramelise onto the surface at the temperatures needed for jam setting.

GreenPan warranties the coating for 5 years, which is realistic for ceramic technology. The coating is a consumable surface that will eventually require pan replacement, similar to all non-stick cookware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs this suitable for making custard or béchamel sauce?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the ceramic non-stick surface works well for milk-based sauces that traditionally stick to stainless steel. The non-stick properties reduce the need for constant stirring, though you should still whisk periodically. Use medium-low heat to prevent scorching. The aluminium construction provides responsive temperature control for delicate sauces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I brown meat or onions in this saucepan?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can brown ingredients on low-medium heat, but a frying pan or sauté pan typically provides better browning due to wider surface area and better moisture evaporation. Ceramic non-stick won't achieve the same depth of browning as stainless steel or cast iron.

Diamonds are one of the hardest natural materials, so this addition increases scratch resistance compared to standard ceramic coatings. This doesn't mean the surface is indestructible, but it should withstand normal use with silicone or wooden utensils better than unenhanced ceramic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs this genuinely PFAS-free?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, GreenPan's Thermolon ceramic coating doesn't contain PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), which includes PFOA and other fluorinated compounds found in traditional PTFE non-stick coatings. The ceramic coating is a silicon-based alternative. GreenPan has been transparent about this since launching ceramic non-stick technology in 2007.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow does ceramic non-stick compare to traditional PTFE?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCeramic non-stick typically tolerates higher temperatures (up to 450°C) compared to PTFE (260°C), though this pan's oven limit is 220°C due to other components. Ceramic may not last quite as long as premium PTFE—GreenPan warranties the coating for 5 years versus their lifetime warranty on the pan body. However, ceramic doesn't release harmful fumes if accidentally overheated. Food release is good initially but requires proper care (low-medium heat, minimal oil, gentle utensils) to maintain performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill this work on my induction hob?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Magneto base includes a magnetic steel layer specifically for induction compatibility. Aluminium itself isn't magnetic, so GreenPan adds this base layer. The aluminium body still provides good heat distribution whilst the magnetic base responds to induction. It works on all other hob types as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat does \"25% extra cooking surface\" mean?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreenPan's Copenhagen range uses an optimised shape with slightly lower sides and a wider usable base (26.5cm) compared to standard 28cm pans. This increases the flat cooking surface area by approximately 25%. For pancakes and crêpes, this means you can cook larger items or fit more without edges curling up the sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use metal utensils on the diamond-enhanced coating?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreenPan doesn't recommend metal utensils even with diamond enhancement. Whilst the coating has improved scratch resistance, metal can still damage it over time. Silicone, wood, or nylon utensils will extend the coating's lifespan. The 5-year non-stick warranty likely assumes proper utensil use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"comparison-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCeramic vs Traditional Non-Stick: What to Expect\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhen Ceramic Non-Stick Excels\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCeramic coatings handle higher heat better than PTFE, making them suitable for slightly higher cooking temperatures. They're PFAS-free, which matters if you're concerned about fluorinated compounds. Ceramic doesn't release fumes if accidentally overheated. Initial food release is excellent, often comparable to new PTFE pans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhere Traditional Non-Stick May Perform Better\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-quality PTFE non-stick typically maintains its food-release properties longer—often 7-10 years with proper care versus 3-5 years for ceramic. PTFE requires less oil for cooking once seasoned.

It's particularly useful when cooking for 4-6 people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs this wok suitable for high-heat stir-frying?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the hardened aluminium construction provides rapid, even heat distribution ideal for stir-frying. The wok is oven safe to 220°C and can handle typical hob temperatures for stir-frying. However, the PFAS-free coating performs best when you avoid overheating an empty pan, which can occur above 280°C on gas hobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow does the helper handle assist with cooking?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe helper handle opposite the main handle allows you to lift and manoeuvre the wok safely using both hands, which is particularly useful when the 4.8-litre wok is full. This dual-handle design provides better balance and control when tossing ingredients or transferring the wok from hob to oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expert-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat We've Learned About Non-Stick Woks Since 1972\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver five decades of selling cookware, we've observed how non-stick technology has evolved. Traditional non-stick coatings raised health concerns due to PFAS chemicals, particularly at high temperatures. The shift to ceramic-based coatings like GreenPan's Thermolon addressed these concerns, though early ceramic coatings sometimes lacked durability. The diamond-enhanced Infinity Pro coating represents a significant advancement, combining the health benefits of PFAS-free cooking with improved scratch resistance and longevity. Customers who previously avoided non-stick woks due to health concerns find these ceramic-based alternatives particularly appealing. We've also noticed that woks with induction-compatible bases have become increasingly popular as more households transition to induction cooking, making the Magneto base a practical feature for both current and future hob compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"comparison-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComparing Your Wok Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCeramic Non-Stick vs Traditional Carbon Steel Woks\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarbon steel woks offer exceptional heat responsiveness and can withstand very high temperatures, making them ideal for traditional wok cooking techniques. They develop a natural non-stick patina over time but require seasoning and careful maintenance. The GreenPan ceramic non-stick wok provides immediate food release without seasoning, is easier to clean, and offers PFAS-free cooking. However, carbon steel typically has a longer overall lifespan if properly maintained. Choose ceramic non-stick if you prioritise convenience and health-conscious cooking; opt for carbon steel if you're comfortable with traditional wok care and prefer maximum heat tolerance for authentic stir-frying techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDiamond-Enhanced vs Standard Ceramic Non-Stick\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard ceramic non-stick coatings provide excellent initial food release but may lose effectiveness more quickly with regular use. Diamond-enhanced coatings like Thermolon Infinity Pro incorporate diamond particles that increase hardness and scratch resistance, extending the coating's effective lifespan. Whilst both are PFAS-free, the diamond enhancement typically maintains its non-stick properties through more cooking cycles and withstands accidental metal utensil contact better than standard ceramic coatings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs-box\" id=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e GreenPan\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Copenhagen\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.8 litres\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardened aluminium with Magneto induction base\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thermolon Infinity Pro ceramic non-stick with diamond enhancement\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black with matte stainless steel handles\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Main handle plus helper handle\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable For:\u003c\/strong\u003e All heat sources (gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, induction)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOven Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 220°C\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePFAS-Free:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes (hand washing recommended)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEAN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4895156669357\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limited lifetime guarantee (non-stick coating 5 years)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"care-box\" id=\"care\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore first use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wash the wok in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely.

GreenPan's Thermolon coating is made from a sand derivative (silica) rather than plastic-based PTFE, and the manufacturing process uses no PFAS, PFOA, lead, or cadmium. Traditional non-stick coatings can release toxic fumes when overheated; Thermolon won't release harmful fumes even if accidentally overheated, as it's heat resistant up to 450°C. The coating is cured in an oven rather than requiring chemical bonding agents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat does \"diamond-enhanced\" actually mean?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Thermolon Infinity Pro coating is infused with diamond particles during manufacturing, which significantly increases the coating's hardness and scratch resistance. This makes the surface more durable for daily use compared to standard ceramic coatings.

The 24cm handles two portions comfortably and fits most recipes calling for a \"medium frying pan\". The 28cm is ideal for family cooking – four chicken breasts, stir-fries for 3-4 people, or larger omelettes. The 30cm provides maximum cooking surface for larger families or batch cooking. Measure your most-used hob ring and your typical portion sizes to decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow does the 25% extra cooking surface work?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreenPan has optimised the Copenhagen's shape to maximise the flat base area. Traditional frying pans have steeper sides that reduce usable cooking surface; Copenhagen's design creates a larger flat cooking zone. For example, the 28cm Copenhagen offers approximately the same cooking surface as a traditional 30cm pan, whilst fitting on smaller hobs and taking less storage space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use metal utensils on this?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the Scratch Guard technology provides enhanced scratch resistance, GreenPan recommends wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils to maximise the coating's longevity. The diamond reinforcement does make it more resistant to occasional contact with metal utensils than standard ceramic coatings, but repeated use of metal implements will eventually affect any non-stick surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill this work on my induction hob?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Available in five sizes from 20cm to 30cm and compatible with all hob types including induction, it is the kind of pan that earns its place on the hob every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePFAS-free ceramic coating: Applied throughout the pan, the ceramic non-stick surface is made without per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and releases food cleanly with little or no added oil.\u003cbr\u003eEven heat distribution: The forged heavy-gauge aluminium body spreads heat evenly across the cooking surface and retains it efficiently, helping to avoid the hot spots that cause uneven cooking.\u003cbr\u003eAll-hob compatibility: A fully encased stainless steel disc base makes this pan suitable for gas, electric, ceramic glass, and induction hobs.\u003cbr\u003eOven safe to 280°C: The pan can go straight from the hob into an oven up to 280°C, or up to 220°C if you are using a heat-resistant Le Creuset glass lid.\u003cbr\u003e10-year guarantee: Le Creuset backs this pan with a 10-year guarantee against manufacturing defects, which you can activate by registering your product on the Le Creuset website.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable sizes: 20cm, 24cm, 26cm, 28cm, 30cm\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Forged heavy-gauge aluminium with PFAS-free ceramic non-stick coating\u003cbr\u003eBase: Fully encased stainless steel disc\u003cbr\u003eHob compatibility: Gas, electric, ceramic glass, induction\u003cbr\u003eOven safe: Up to 280°C (220°C with heat-resistant Le Creuset glass lid)\u003cbr\u003eGrill safe: Yes\u003cbr\u003eMetal utensil safe: Yes\u003cbr\u003e20cm dimensions: W21.1cm x D3.45cm x H6.9cm, overall length 38.5cm, base diameter 14.5cm, weight 0.757kg\u003cbr\u003e24cm dimensions: W25.1cm x D3.95cm x H7.6cm, overall length 44.7cm, base diameter 17.7cm, weight 0.974kg\u003cbr\u003e26cm dimensions: W27.1cm x D3.95cm x H7.6cm, overall length 46.7cm, base diameter 19.7cm, weight 1.17kg\u003cbr\u003e28cm dimensions: W29.1cm x D3.95cm x H7.6cm, overall length 48.7cm, base diameter 20.8cm, weight 1.266kg\u003cbr\u003e30cm dimensions: W31.1cm x D3.95cm x H7.5cm, overall length 50.7cm, base diameter 21.7cm, weight 1.394kg\u003cbr\u003eMPNs: 20cm: 51314200010098 | 24cm: 51314240010098 | 26cm: 51314260010098 | 28cm: 51314280010098 | 30cm: 51314300010098\u003cbr\u003eCountry of manufacture: China\u003cbr\u003eGuarantee: 10 years (Le Creuset)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare instructions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore first use: Wash the pan in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry before cooking for the first time.\u003cbr\u003eDaily washing: Hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge is recommended to preserve the ceramic coating. Avoid abrasive scourers or steel wool.\u003cbr\u003eTemperature guidance: Start on a moderate heat and build up gradually. Avoid preheating an empty pan on high heat, and do not plunge a hot pan into cold water, as sudden temperature changes can shorten the life of the coating.\u003cbr\u003eUtensils: The pan is rated as metal utensil safe, but using silicone or wooden utensils will help maintain the coating's condition over time.\u003cbr\u003eStorage: If stacking pans, place a soft cloth or pan protector between them to prevent surface scratching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuestions and answers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhich size should I choose?\u003cbr\u003eThe 20cm is suited to individual portions, eggs, and small sautés. The 24cm is a solid all-rounder for one or two people. The 26cm and 28cm handle most everyday family cooking comfortably. The 30cm is best for larger batches, pancakes, or feeding four or more at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan I use metal utensils with this pan?\u003cbr\u003eLe Creuset states that the coating is designed to withstand significant force penetration, so metal utensils are permitted. That said, silicone or wooden utensils will help preserve the coating's condition over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs this dishwasher safe?\u003cbr\u003eLe Creuset generally recommends hand washing for non-stick cookware to keep the coating in good condition. Check the care guide included with your pan to confirm, or get in touch if you are unsure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow does the ceramic coating compare to a traditional non-stick pan?\u003cbr\u003eCeramic coatings are made without PFAS, which some people prefer for health or environmental reasons. They perform well at moderate to high temperatures and release food effectively when cared for properly. Avoiding sudden temperature changes and not preheating an empty pan on high heat will help the coating last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Le Creuset","offers":[{"title":"20cm","offer_id":57003354816890,"sku":"361393","price":84.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"24cm","offer_id":57003354849658,"sku":"361394","price":92.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"26cm","offer_id":57003354882426,"sku":"361395","price":101.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"28cm","offer_id":57003354915194,"sku":"361396","price":109.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"30cm","offer_id":57003354947962,"sku":"361397","price":118.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/1875\/7690\/files\/Le_Creuset_Non-Stick_Ceramic_Shallow_Frying_Pan_20.jpg?v=1782307897"},{"product_id":"le-creuset-n-s-ceramic-saucepan-16cm","title":"Le Creuset Non-Stick Ceramic Saucepan","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"group\/line flex border-l-[3px] border-l-transparent hover:bg-bg-100 cursor-pointer\" data-diff-type=\"normal\" data-diff-line=\"312\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex-1 flex items-start pl-0 pr-2 group-data-[scrollable]\/overlay:pr-6 min-w-0 font-mono\"\u003e\u003ccode class=\"font-mono text-xs break-all\"\u003eThe Le Creuset Essential Non-stick Ceramic Saucepan is a reliable everyday pan for sauces, soups, poaching, and reheating.
