Sear, brown and crisp using the Le Creuset Classic Indigo Cast Iron 26cm Skillet. Le Creuset cast iron skillets have long been treasured kitchen staples for stovetop frying and oven baking. They are perfect for searing meat, poultry and fish, creating a browned caramelised surface and sealing in moisture. Using the pan juices to make a sauce after cooking foods like steak will give depth of flavour. Extremely versatile, this frying pan with metal handle, can withstand any cooking temperature, so can be used on the hob or in the oven for a vast array of cooking tasks including making fish cakes and frittata or baking a dessert for four people.

This Le Creuset Classic cast iron skillet features a convenient helper handle for easier lifting and added control when moving between hob, oven and table. There are also spouts on two sides allowing for drip-free pouring.

The skillet is coated with Le Creuset's specialist satin black enamel finish. Very durable and easy to clean, the satin black enamel interior has been specially designed to protect the pan (no seasoning is required) and for high surface heat use. Over time, it develops a natural patina that is ideal for searing, browning and frying.
