 not happy with this pan Feb 11, 2006
By M. K. Foley
I'm a huge fan of Le Cruest's products and own a few well chosen pieces. Having said that, this new satin finish is a disappointment. I was given this a gift a year ago and was thrilled - until I used it.
I really wish they'd go back to their original smooth enamel finish. This must be an attempt to produce an interior more durable for using metal utensils with. An attempt that in my opinion is a failure. Things (like eggs and hamburgers) stick to this finish. You have to use a lot more fat to prevent sticking. It's hard to get clean, takes quite a bit of scrubbing even after soaking. It doesn't give the finish to grilled meats, etc that I want from a fry pan. Forget deglazing it to make a sauce. I find my All Clad 9 inch skillet to be a superior performer to this one.
Since this is a 9 inch skillet, I haven't used it to saute onions, etc., so I can't say how it performs with these items.
I do use it to make cornbread and to roast small portions of meats or veg in the oven, with good results (as long as I'm not going to use the browned bits to make a sauce). This to me though, is not enough uses to justify buying it.

Not up to par Jun 11, 2006
By J. Norris
I have numerous Le Creuset items, and this has to be the worst one. Everything sticks to the finish. Salsbury steak turns out horrible (can't make gravy), breakfast sausage patties become ground sausage pieces due to the sticking. And, like mentioned in an earlier post, it is hard to clean. Beware this new finish, (they have it on their grill pans also)it is not up to par.

 Have not had sticking problems Dec 13, 2006
By K. Lavey
I got this pan last spring and I really enjoy using it. I have not had the sticking problems that other people mention. I have made omelettes in it using spray-on oil and they have not stuck at all. Have used the skillet to cook bacon and sausage as well, again with no sticking. I do use a lower heat with this skillet ... it works much better if you do NOT turn the heat on high.

Very disappointed Jan 10, 2007
By ML775
I purchased this pan about a year ago and I'm very disappointed with its performance. As soon as it arrived I read the instructions and was surprised to learn I should not cook with it at high temperatures. I followed the instructions at all times. I've successfully seasoned standard cast iron cookware in the past but had no success with this pan. Just about everything I cook sticks.

Le Creuset takes some time Aug 15, 2006
By Susan L. Defigueiredo
I am generally pleased with the product, but it will certainly take some time for the cast iron to cure, create its patina, and hopefully thereafter be non stick without using oil. So far I have been using a minimal amount of oil, but everything I put in it tends to stick and leave a crust on the bottom. I followed all the directions in the booklet, and am not subjecting the pan to abrupt changes of temperature. When put to soak, the crust unsticks readily without strong abrasion. I look forward to the pan eventually deciding not to stick under any circumstances!
