Skillet Cooking Tips

Some great tips and tricks for your new Le Creuset Skillet is to add your oil, and or fat to the skillet after the skillet has come up in temperature.  About 4 minutes at medium heat, safeguards against sticking when then adding the olive oil, canola oil, or butter to the skillet. A nice sheen ensues! Evenly allow that fat to coat the entire skillet before adding your precious ingredients. By doing this, everything, and we mean everything, comes out as intended. Crispy, flavorful, and a no fuss clean transpire due to nothing stuck in this Le Creuset skillet! 

Best Le Creuset Pick for Medium Budget

Le Creuset Flame French Oval Dutch Oven – $$

Staying on a budget, the Le Creuset Flame French Oval Dutch Oven is a great start in acquiring a Le Creuset kitchen.

This dutch oven features:

• Ideal Heat Distribution & Superior Heat Retention

We feel the lifetime warranty speaks for itself. Le Creuset products simply last almost forever! A great tip we learned is to retain those four little clear, plastic clips that come in all Le Creuset enamel pots and pans with lids. Once you have finished preparing your masterpiece, and have cleaned your Dutch Oven, and now it is cool and ready for storage, simply replace those clips to ensure no scratching ever occurs.

These pots, pans, and all Le Creuset products are tough enough in any environment. But, for those who want to keep their cookware as pristine as out of the box, re-clipping is a neat trick. Le Creuset is full of neat tricks already. The porcelain enamel perfected almost 100 years ago provides a barrier against flavors and odors from the last meal bleeding into the next delicacy cooked.

The lids lock in flavor and moisture. They knobs are good under 450! These are heavy! Heavy, with a beautifully flat bottom guarantees even cooking and extra heat retention. This enables your soup or casserole to turn out perfect by simply killing the heat source a half an hour prior to serving up your delightful concoction! Cornbread, eggs, burgers, and steaks sizzle in the Le Creuset skillet line!
