Cast iron pancake pan Le Creuset Ø27 cm, red, seasoned enamel

Le Creuset cast iron pancake pan Ø27 cm in red is a robust stovetop pan engineered for even heat distribution and reliable heat retention. The enameled cast iron construction provides a smooth cooking surface that reduces sticking and requires minimal oil. With a 27 cm diameter and 2.17 kg weight, this pan is tailored for preparing pancakes, crêpes and flatbreads while also performing well for browning, toasting and reheating foods. The enameled exterior protects the cast iron core and enables use on a variety of cooktops; the pan is oven safe and compatible with everyday kitchen maintenance, including dishwasher cleaning.

Advantages

The enameled cast iron body ensures consistent temperature across the cooking surface, reducing hot spots and producing uniform results. The smooth enameled interior lowers food adhesion compared with bare cast iron and simplifies cleaning. Its 27 cm size offers enough surface area for several small pancakes or a single large crêpe, while the solid weight contributes to stable contact with the burner for even heating. Compatibility with gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops plus oven safety adds versatility for stovetop-to-oven recipes.

How to use

Preheat the Le Creuset pancake pan gradually to the desired cooking temperature on the selected heat source to ensure even heat distribution. Lightly oil the cooking surface if required, then pour batter or place ingredients and monitor cooking to achieve the preferred browning. For oven finishing, transfer the pan to a preheated oven using appropriate heat-resistant gloves or mitts. Allow the pan to cool before cleaning; although dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge helps preserve the enamel finish.

Usage recommendations

Avoid rapid temperature changes to prevent thermal shock to the enamel. Use silicone, wooden or nylon utensils to protect the enameled surface. While dishwasher safe, occasional hand washing and drying will prolong the appearance and performance of the pan.
