I love, love, love this skillet!!,
First of all, let me say I agree with the reviewer who deducted stars from the 9″ skillet due to the non-stick coating. Since non-stick coatings are chemicals, I refuse to use any cooking utensil with the coating on them. The original, baked enamel finish on this skillet works great. The secret is using moderate heat and adding oil once the pan warms up, then adding the food items. If the meat sticks, it will unstick as it carmelizes (this also applies to their grilling skillets). I find that I can just wipe mine out and keep using it until I make chili or something messy like that. Then all I do is fill the skillet with water and let it sit a while, then it rinses clean. At the maximum, I’ve taken a boar bristle brush to a couple of spots once or twice, that’s all.
I beseech this company to leave the non-stick coating off their skillets even though one reviewer below seems to prefer it. Or at the minimum give the consumer a choice but I’d bet most would prefer the original, satin finish. In fact, I bought this skillet because of the fired enamel finish as I discovered my well-known name brand stainless steel skillet and stew/pasta pot has too much nickel in them so I can’t use them. Anyway, I love this skillet. It makes a good wok too as the burner is under the center of the pan. I can fry up one veggie, push it off to the side where it stays warm while I fry the next one, then push it over until I’m finished. Did I say I loved this skillet?
I wish they made a lid for this skillet as I had to buy another brand which doesn’t match but it works. Since most skillets come without lids, this is being silly, I agree. So then, I highly recommend this skillet both for cooking and for easy clean-up.

|Absolutely wonderful!!!,
I love this pan! We have a large family and I easily fit 5-6 chicken breasts in this pan at one time.
You don’t have to cook with high heat because this pan easily distributes the heat evenly. Low heat is also best so the food doesn’t stick.
Clean up is really easy!!! Warm, soapy water and that’s it!
This is definitely a quality made pan. I have several pieces from Le Creuset and know they will last me through my lifetime.

|Great alternative to non-stick,
I was looking for a pan to cook eggs (omlets) in, but didn’t want to get non-stick, or teflon or whatever. This pan was recommended by the nytimes. It’s not as perfect as an old seasoned cast iron skillet, but the le creuset pan is big, heavy and practically non stick, especially if you use a bit of oil. I cook everything in it — chicken, hamburgers, fried eggs and omlets, sausage, pancakes — and it’s easy to clean, almost as non stick as my teflon pans (which I chucked). For what it is, it’s pretty great.

|Not up to par,
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,
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.
