Le Creuset Cast Iron 2L Saucier Pot

Made in France. This pot comes in a variety of sizes and colours. It is suitable for all heat sources. Very easy to clean. Cast-iron handle, perfect for oven and grill use. Never put pan on high heat for long amounts of time because they do heat up fast at a lower (medium or highish low) element temperature and hold the heat for long lengths of time, thus cooking your food at a faster rate than a stainless pot will.

Enamelled cast iron is a remarkable and robust material that performs well with modern requirements for food preparation and cooking. Whether you choose to stir-fry, slow-cook a casserole, sear a steak or bake a cake, there is a shape that is suitable. Cast iron performs well for either slow cooking or searing.

Cast iron can be used reliably on any heat source, including induction, and with any oven or grill. It has the ability to retain heat efficiently, which allows for use of lower heat settings in stovetop and oven cooking. On the table, a hot covered dish will keep food hot for second servings. Cast iron should not be used in microwave ovens.

Cast iron can also be used to keep foods cold. A chilled dish becomes an ideal cold food server on a hot summer day. It can also be placed in the freezer for food storage or advanced food preparation.
