A cast iron skillet is a cook's secret weapon for quick, easy and tantalising dishes. A skillet, an American term for a frying pan, has long been a treasured kitchen staples for stovetop frying and oven baking, with a versatile shape that can be used for everything from searing steaks or fish to baking desserts such as cake or fruit crumble. Add Le Creuset's superior cast iron that retains and evenly distributes heat and you'll find that everything, from frittatas to pancakes to veggies, really does taste better when cooked in these cast iron skillets. Like the inside of Le Creuset grills, the skillet is coated with a satin black enamel finish (no seasoning required) that protects it for high surface heat use and will not wear off. Very durable, hygienic and easy to clean, this cooking surface also helps to achieve the correct sealing and searing of foods, as well as the caramelisation of the juices. Over time, a natural patina will develop that is ideal for frying. The Signature Skillet has useful pouring lips on each side in order to make it easier to pour out cooking juices and gently sloping slides that make turning food simplicity itself. A convenient helper handle makes for easier lifting and added control when moving between hob, oven and table. Cast iron is also excellent at retaining heat, so your food stays hot for longer, and the gorgeous enamel colours and streamlined designs make for great table presentation. Suitable for use on all heat sources, including induction, in the oven and under the grill, the Skillet is available in a range of colours to complement every kitchen and style and comes with a lifetime guarantee for complete peace of mind.
