This sauté pan is aimed at fans of traditional cooking, lovers of slow-cooked dishes and anyone who regularly cooks for several people.
The weight can be a nuisance once the pan is full. The wooden handle rules out oven use, cleaning has to be done by hand, and you should avoid thermal shocks, which can damage the enamel. Its premium positioning is harder to justify for occasional cooking or if you are looking for a lightweight pan.
A premium sauté pan that puts the emphasis on build quality, even cooking and durability. An excellent addition to a cookware set, if you accept its weight and upkeep.
Before choosing an enameled cast iron sauté pan, check the following points:
Yes, it is compatible with all hobs: gas, electric, ceramic and induction.
No, the wooden handle does not allow it. The handle should also be kept away from direct flames.
No, it should be washed by hand with hot water, a mild dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge. Also avoid leaving the wooden handle to soak in water.
No, no seasoning is needed thanks to its matte black enamel interior. Simply wash it in hot water with a little dish soap, then dry it.
Yes, the stated weight is 5.06 kg, to be checked against the exact reference. The helper handle makes it easier to manage, but it remains cumbersome once full.
No, cast iron heats more slowly but retains heat well. Heating gradually over low to medium heat is recommended.
