A vintage Le Creuset design refreshed for modern kitchens, the enameled cast iron Alpine Wood Handle Fry Pan is a versatile pan for everything from searing and sauteing, to pan frying, stovetop casseroles and more. Sloped sides make it easy to stir sauces and flip crepes, while exceptional heat distribution and retention ensures food is cooked to perfection. The black satin enamel interior eliminates the need for the traditional seasoning and maintenance of raw cast iron – the enamel develops a natural patina over time making it virtually nonstick and easy to clean. The pan is finished with a durable wood handle that is designed to stay cool and comfortable while cooking, yet elegantly handsome for stove to table serving.
