Le Creuset Non-Stick Ceramic

For years, we have recommended the Le Creuset Non-Stick pans (formerly known as Les Forgees) due to their excellent cooking qualities. However, the old non-stick coating was not PFAS-free. Now, Le Creuset has finally released a new series with a ceramic non-stick coating that is PFAS-free!

Main Features

Durable Non-Stick Frying Pans

Ceramic pans are manufactured differently than PFAS pans, making the entire process less polluting for nature and less harmful to health.

Easy to Use

Thanks to the super-smooth non-stick coating, nothing sticks. A fried egg slides effortlessly from the pan to your plate. And cleaning is a breeze, as scrubbing is no longer necessary. With a little warm water, some soap, and a sponge, your pan is like new again in a few minutes.

Renowned Le Creuset Quality

The pan is of the same quality as the Les Forgees series. This means that the pan itself is made of hard-anodized material with a firmly anchored stainless steel handle.

Scratch-Resistant

The ceramic coating is scratch-resistant with normal use, meaning you can use regular spatulas without worry, though avoid using knives or forks in the pan. Although Le Creuset indicates that you can use steel utensils, we recommend silicone or wooden utensils to prevent damage and to add a touch of style to your kitchen!

Suitable for All Heat Sources

No matter what type of kitchen you have, this pan works on all heat sources. Gas, electric, ceramic, and induction – it won't let you down.

Optimized for Induction

The bottom of the pan truly shines on induction. It heats up faster and has less heat loss, ultimately saving you energy costs.

Benefits of the Le Creuset Essential Non-Stick Ceramic

Proper Cooking

Although the pan can withstand temperatures up to 280 degrees Celsius, we recommend cooking at lower temperatures. Lower the heat once the pan is hot to ensure crispy food without the risk of burning.

Low-Fat Healthy Cooking

The healthy ceramic coating also helps you cook with less fat. While it's possible to cook without any fat, we recommend using a little oil or butter for the best flavor.

Oven Safe

Have you seared a piece of meat to perfection but need to finish cooking it in the oven? No problem, you can move the pan directly from the stove to the oven. Just remember to use an oven mitt when taking the pan out of the oven!

Usage Tips for the Le Creuset Essential Non-Stick Ceramic

Before First Use

1. Clean the pan with warm water, mild soap, and a soft sponge.
2. Dry the pan thoroughly.
3. Heat the pan on the stove with a layer of oil or butter.
4. Set the stove to medium to medium-high heat.
5. Wait until the oil smokes or the butter stops sizzling.
6. Reduce the heat to low or medium.
7. Cook effortlessly.

Cleaning Tips

• Do not rinse a hot pan with cold water. Let the pan cool down or use warm water.
• If something sticks, soak the pan with a little water and soap.

Dishwasher Safe, but Hand Wash Recommended

Although the pan is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing to save space in the dishwasher and to maintain the non-stick properties longer. If you do use the dishwasher, apply a thin layer of vegetable oil (not olive oil) to the ceramic coating afterward.

Availability and Variants

A Pan for Everyone

Le Creuset has released the Non-Stick Ceramic series with a wide range of options. You can choose from frying pans of various sizes, as well as woks, sauté pans, and milk/sauce pans. The range will be expanded further, ensuring you find a pan that meets your needs.

The new Le Creuset series includes various types of pans, such as saucepans, frying pans, woks, and sauté pans. You are assured of excellent heat distribution thanks to the forged aluminum core.
