LE CREUSET 3-Ply Plus Stainless Steel 20cm Shallow Frying Pan, 96600220000100

Lovely pan, looks strong and solid.

Incredibly well made pan, the quality is apparent from the moment you pick it up. The non stick coating is top notch as well, eggs slide right off.

Good buy, slightly lower price compared to other seller, thanks.

It does what it says. Works on the hob. In the oven and in the dish washer!

I had my worries about stainless steel frying pans being hard to clean and maintain after using non stick pans before. After I got fed up with their non stick surfaces scratching and worrying about chemicals from those leaching into food, I switched to stainless steel. Using this pan means you can get a nice seared crust on steak and take far less time to brown meats compared to non stick. It does appear to cook faster overall and is more versatile as a result. A bit of deglazing on the fond means you get more flavour for stews, gravies etc. It’s a doddle to clean. A soak after cooking and most cooking detritus comes off. Using basic cleaning products makes it even easier for the slightly more stubborn bits. It’s so nice to use a solidly made, robust pan and know it will last longer than trendy non-stick pans without chemicals affecting your food. My only gripe with this is that the two handle rivets on the inside can never be cleaned easily…there are some similar pans that don’t have this feature so that’s why I can’t give this 5 stars.

Having watched a couple of YouTube videos on stainless steel frying, I quickly got to getting great results with this splendid, high-quality pan. Recommended.

This has been a very disappointing purchase. Having researched based on reviews and cost this appeared to be excellent value for money. The greatest issue I have with the pan is its very poor weight distribution. Due to the size and weight of the handle the pan tips unless it is very carefully placed on the cooker, this is not an issue I have had with a quality pan before. The other main issue is that the pan stained on first use and is exceptionally difficult to clean. I have a full set of stainless steel pans I have used for years and neither of the above issues have occurred. I would not recommend based on the above issues.

We purchased to avoid coated non stick but not sure if it would be as non stick as teflon. After some time using is I can say it works well most of the time if you preheat it first we have found. Surprising easy to clean… It does have a fair weight to them which is to be expected and the same for all their pans of which we have a full set.
