Le Creuset Saucepan with Wooden Handle Cast Iron 18 cm/1.8 l

This saucepan is on hand whenever you’re creating a dish that needs a little more care. Whether you’resimmering a punchy sauce or a delicate cream, the cast iron heats your ingredients evenly. The lid has a ventilation system to prevent boiling over. And two neat pouring rims make for drip-free serving.

Quick cleanup: an enamel interior helps make light work of cleaning.
Great tasting food: the cast iron construction retains heat for even cooking and browning. Your delicious creations will also stay warmer at the table for longer.
Locks in moisture: tight-fitting lid helps boost moisture and enhances flavour, for perfectly cooked food.
Over the top: its lid has a special ventilation system to prevent boiling over.
Traditional looks: The wooden handle looks stylish and stays cool to the touch.
Not too hot: cook with a steady, low to medium heat to take care of your cast iron and enjoy delicious results.

Stay protected – always use oven gloves when handling anything hot.
We recommend to only use Le Creuset Silicone Tools, wooden or heat-resistant plastic tools. DO NOT use knives or metal utensils, doing so may cause marks and scratches on the enamel surface of the product.
Use the product on the most appropriately sized hob ring — it’ll make your food cook more evenly, and reduce the risk of damage to the handles and sides. This is especially important on induction hobs: if you use the wrong-sized ring, there’s a risk the hob won't ‘recognise’ the product.
Cooking on a medium or low heat gets the best results — even for frying and searing. Let the pan heat up gradually for great tasting food that’s cooked evenly. If you do need to use a high heat, lower the setting once the desired heat has been reached.
Never slide the product on any glass-topped hob/stove top, as this may cause damage to the product base and the glass. Instead, always lift the product on and off, or across the surface.

Wait for your product to cool down before you start cleaning it.
Wipe any leftovers off the base and sides of the product. If there’s food stuck on, fill the product with warm, soapy water and let it soak for 15 to 20 minutes before washing as usual.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or metal, harsh abrasive or very stiff cleaning pads or brushes on any of the surfaces.
Dry well after washing and store in a dry place.

Before First Use: Enjoy unboxing your new purchase! (And make sure to remove the labels and packaging.)
Wash your Le Creuset product in warm, soapy water; then rinse and dry thoroughly.
