Le CreusetToughened Nonstick PRO Fry Pan, 12"

This pan is perfect. Even heat distribution but still lightweight. The non stick works perfectly and is very resilient.

I upgraded to this set two years ago. Waited to write a review after using them.Easily best pans I’ve ever owned. A bit more money but last 10x longer. Even cook on foods. Holds temperature well. Cleans well. Most durable cooking set I’ve had. I can’t say enough to spend a bit more, treat yourself. Buy these. No regrets.

Awesome pan, well worth purchasing, I am currently using it on a Ceramic top, heats great…will review again when I get to use on a Gas cooktop…

It was time to upgrade when we bought an induction stove top. After much soul searching I settled on Le Creuset. I bought the10 and 12 inch pan. I have had them for two months and used both quite a bit. Fantastic. Even heating. Non-stick but still browning well. Easy to clean. No warping. Very comfortable handles which stay cool. Simply very very good frying pans. Still look like new. Photo: Spanish tortilla, started in the 10 inch pan, turned into the 12 inch. Clean and easy release.

I have some ( lower price point, but solid ) Le Creuset pots, and I love em. Fried one egg in it, with a pat of butter, and it was less slippery than my 7”, 12 year old, $9 Teflon. Obv, this boy is destined for bigger dishes, but put me down as a “maybe” for their diamond was it, special finish.

Yes, it is expensive so try to find it on sale before buying but once you get it (or another of the Toughened nonstick pieces), you'll be every so happy with it's performance. I still use a touch of butter, EEVO or coconut oil for flavoring but the non-stick on this pan is fantastic making it a joy to cook with and super easy to clean after. We recently go an induction cook top and the pan's heat distribution is excellent. This size was actually purchased to complement a larger set with smaller pans in it.

This Le Creuset fry pan is well worth the money. Not only is it durable enough to withstand being placed in the dishwasher, it cooks food quickly and evenly. Its really the best brand out there.

I'm an every-day cook. 90% of what I eat is made from scratch in my own kitchen. I've been using Teflon and cast iron in the kitchen for years. Teflon is easily the best non-stick material on the market, but it's not durable. Plus, you can't expose it to high heat. I keep a Teflon pan for eggs simply because there is no legitimate alternative.But for everything else? I need some durable non-stick pans that will last. I will be using them every day, so I went with a brand that I have a high amount of respect for.Most of my cookware is Le Creuset. It's amazing stuff. These pans are not amazing.I bought a 10" and a 12". I've heard that you can get 10 years out of anodized aluminum. I got less than a year out of these. The 12", which gets used more, started to stick after about 6 to 8 months, and the 10" started to stick as we got closer to a year.I've heard that you can refurbish anodized aluminum on your own, so I'm going to look more into that to hopefully get a bit more bang for my buck. These things were expensive. Everything about them is high quality except for the surface. Unfortunately, if that's what you're buying them for, then you're better off with well-seasoned cast iron.
