The 8 Best Pans You Can Buy From Le Creuset

Not only do The Kitchn’s readers love Le Creuset, but our staff does too. Executive Lifestyle Director Lisa Freedman has owned this PRO fry pan for five years now and says it still works as good as new. “I’m always convinced that this is going to be the weekend that my eggs start sticking to the pan. And yet, they never do,” she wrote in her review. It’s dishwasher-safe (Lisa-approved) and nonstick — what more can you ask for?

This super versatile skillet is made of Le Creusete’s signature cast iron, so it heats up quickly and evenly. It also has a black nonstick coating that gives it a streamlined look. The best part, though, is you can toss it in the dishwasher after you're done cooking — talk about easy!

You ever fry foods only for the oil to bounce up and hit your face? Yeah, not fun! Luckily, this stainless steel fry pan is genius, with deep sides that prevent splatter. Go ahead and use it for frying or pan searing without the backlash. Available in two sizes, we recommend the smaller one.

Made from the brand’s signature cast iron, you can expect this everyday pan to impress you as much with its appearance as with its cooking performance. Use it for roasting, frying, and simmering — it combines the benefits of a braiser, fry pan, and sauté pan all in one!

Again, the deep sides of this stir fry pan are a chef’s kiss! No splatter. Its nonstick surface allows you to use every inch of the pan for browning meats and easily wipe away the excess when it’s all set and done. Thanks to its cooling handle, you don’t have to worry about burning yourself either.

“I love my signature skillet for giving me all the benefits of cast iron without any of the annoying baggage," says The Kitchn’s contributing editor Nic Dobija-Nootens. "I can cook whatever I want in it — chicken thighs, hash browns, frittatas — without worrying about my food getting stuck." With four sizes and 25 colors available, this skillet is hard to resist.

Take in all the advantages of cast iron while enjoying a handle that remains cool to the touch with this fry pan. That's right — sear your steaks, sauté your veggies, and fry your eggs to perfection with its matte black interior enamel, all while enjoying it’s handle’s comfortable grip.

With its enameled cast-iron construction and raised bed of grill lines, this signature skillet will be an amazing addition to your kitchen, especially when summer rolls around and you don’t have access to a grill! You might not use it every day, but every week, and that’s good enough.
