The Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast Iron 11.75" Skillet with Iron Handle in Marine is the updated take on a classic fry pan. Its heavyweight construction holds steady heat, so you can achieve a serious sear on steak, cook a fluffy omelet, or pan-fry chicken with minimal oil. The new large loop helper handle makes lifting the pan easier, even when you're wearing oven mitts.
Le Creuset Signature Iron Handle Skillet: Less Oil, More Flavor
The black enamel interior requires no seasoning and resists staining, dulling, and wear. It's ideal for low-fat cooking because you only need a touch of oil—the pan's heat retention does the rest. Unlike bare cast iron, this enameled skillet is dishwasher safe, so cleanup is fast.
This 11.75-inch skillet is compatible with every cooktop, including induction, and is oven safe to 500°F (and the iron handle can handle broiler heat). Whether you're searing, sautéing, baking a frittata, or serving from stove to table, this pan is built to last.
Choosing the Right Skillet Size
The 11.75" size is a sweet spot: large enough to fit four chicken breasts or a full omelet, but not so heavy that it's awkward to handle. If you mostly cook for one or two, a 9" skillet may be enough; for a family of four, this 11.75" is ideal.
