Despite their robust appearance, the Le Creuset cast iron saucepans are ideal for simmering the most delicate sauces, developing consistency and aromas without burning food. The large capacity and contoured lines make stirring and mixing a breeze. Not only great for making velvety sauces, you can use the saucepan for cooking all kinds of food, including making rice and pasta sauces, simmering homemade soups and one-pot meals for one or two people, boiling rice, pasta and vegetables, poaching eggs, preparing caramel, porridge or fruit compotes. Each Le Creuset saucepan has evenly cast sides, base and lid that distribute heat completely uniformly and retain it brilliantly, so you get the best cooking results every time. The exceptionally durable enamel finish is not only beautiful but also very easy to clean and resists chipping, staining and dulling over the life of the cookware. The sand enamel interior makes it easy to monitor food as it cooks, preventing burning and sticking, and is perfect for moist methods of cooking such as sauce-making, boiling or casserole cooking. Each Le Creuset saucepan is of premium quality, individually designed for ease and versatility of use. Main Signature features include deep, slopped sides with a curved inner edge to allow easy access for a whisk or spoon, perfect for recipes requiring constant stirring like creamy sauces and risotto; the long handle provides for improved balance and helps the cook handle piping-hot or boiling ingredients safely; large, easy-grip helper handle makes for ultra-easy handling and gives the pan a lighter feel; domed lid allows moisture to return constantly to the pan; built-in stabilizers under the lid provide a secure, no-slide fit; stylish, ergonomic stainless steel knob is totally ovenproof. Suitable for use on all heat sources, including induction, and in the oven, the saucepan makes a perfect serving dish too as cast iron retains heat and keeps food warmer for longer at the table. Le Creuset saucepans are available in a wide choice of colours and sizes to perfectly complement your home décor and meet all your needs and come with a lifetime guarantee for complete peace of mind.
