Product Description

Le Creuset Precision Pour Saucepan - The reason most sauce recipes begin with "In a heavy saucepan?" is because sauces need to simmer slowly and evenly. Le Creuset's cast iron construction ensures consistent heating, resulting in slow and even simmers. The porcelain enamel interior is perfect for high-acid sauces because the non-metallic coating does not react or leach into your food. The weight of cast iron lids ensures a tight seal to retain moisture. Traditional Le Creuset's saucepan designs have a flat base, a pouring lip and cast iron handles. Each pan is well balanced, comfortable to use and stable on most heat surfaces.

Amazon.com Review
Beautiful enough for the table, durable enough to outlive its lifetime warranty against defects, this heavy 1-1/4-quart covered saucepan is made of cast iron clad in two coats of Le Creuset's famous hard enamel. As cast iron is unexcelled for heat distribution and retention and enamel is impervious to acids and odors, the pan cooks food evenly and gently without hot spots and can be used for marinating. It goes safely on any stovetop, including induction. The pan's heavy, tight-fitting lid has a tiny hole for venting steam. Its round handle tapers at both ends for comfort and is made of a tough plastic that is ovenproof to 400 degrees F and textured for slip-resistance. Opposite the long handle is a helper handle. A chrome hanging hole permits storing the pan where its rustic appeal can be appreciated. Like all Le Creuset cast-iron cookware, the pan was made in France using a one-of-a-kind mold that ensures each piece's uniqueness. --Fred Brack

Customer Reviews

great all purpose pan
Great for a variety of tasks, but especially for heating and pouring soup. Use this pan to replace a Le Creuset pan I bought in 1967, which was still going strong, but which I managed to fatally damage due to "operator error".

Severely Biased
That's right, I am a severely biased reviewer of this product because I have been using Le Creuset for a couple years and have absolutely nothing negative to say about any piece. Not only do they clean up great but they add color to your kitchen. I have four pieces and all four are different colors. It is almost impossible to burn anything in this cookware. As my anodized aluminum wears out I have been replacing them with Le Creuset, probably the best cookware on the planet, well worth the money.

Great Product
Le Creuset is fabulous. The product is even better with the newer handle style. My other Le Creuset products have been in use for 30 years. I suspect this one will last as long.
