Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Everyday Pan, 11", Rhone'

It's a cast iron pan but without the trouble of maintaining the seasoning on the cast iron. A little dish soap won't ruin it. It cleans up easily and distributes the cooking heat well. And no worries about Teflon coating leaching into your cooking.

Versatile, great quality. Very happy with purchase.

I have many Le Creuset pots and pans, but this is now my favorite. The size (quite a large diameter, with somewhat low sides--but nowhere near as low as a fry/saute pan) is ideal for everyday cooking. I use it pretty much daily, whether I'm cooking vegetables, steaming pasta, making dumplings, or anything else. I have some difficulty with my hands and elbows, which can make heavier Le Creuset pots difficult to wash. This one has the trademark Le Creuset heft--and excellence--but is more manageable for me. I highly recommend it. (And get the 11" Le Creuset glass top for it; it fits perfectly and hugely enhances the pan's utility.)

This replaced my cast iron pan, could use a top but still very good every day pan. Read the manual about the care and use.
