Revered by both professional chefs and home cooks since its 1925 debut, Le Creuset's vibrant colored French cookware is prized for its utilitarian good looks and unsurpassed heat retention. Non-reactive cooking surface does not require seasoning. I have the following pans in excellent, hardly used condition (they have spent most of their time in a display cabinet). I inherited them and kept some but don’t have the space for all of it:
Le Creuset Flame (or volcanic) color in the pumpkin classic shape 2 Qt in cast iron (this is not a ceramic one)
$180
Discontinued color Indigo blue Le Creuset cast iron saucepan marked 16 1.75 qt
Designed for sauce making, side dishes, grains, poaching, simmering, and reheating. Smoothly curved interior and rounded base for easy stirring and sauce reduction. Extended helper handle and contoured main handle for added control.
$180
Exceptional heat distribution and retention. Durable porcelain enamel surface on cast iron that minimizes sticking and is easy to clean. No seasoning required. Dishwasher safe. Compatible with various heat sources including ceramic, electric, gas, halogen, induction, outdoor grill, and oven.
Tight-fitting lid circulates steam and returns moisture to food. Safe to use with metal utensils. Freezer-and oven-safe to 500°F. Not microwave-safe. Made in France
