The Le Creuset Stainless Steel range is made of a high-quality, multi-layered material. An aluminium core is sandwiched between two layers of 18/10 stainless steel ensuring that the excellent heat conducting properties are guaranteed from the base to the lip. As a result, heat is distributed evenly (so there are no hotspots) allows for gentle cooking with little water and fat.

Ergonomic handles made of solid 18/10 stainless steel are attached so as to maximise heat transfer and are oven proof. The entire rim of the roasting pan has a cleverly designed lip that lets you pour from any angle without messy drips.
This 3-ply Roasting Pan is suitable for all types of hobs, is easy to clean, is dishwasher safe. The Le Creuset 3-ply Stainless Steel range is made using the latest multi-layering technology where stainless steel and aluminium are bonded together to form the special 3-ply material. A core of aluminium is sandwiched between two layers of premium grade stainless steel cleverly combining the cooking benefits of both materials. The aluminium stretches from base to rim, meaning heat spreads evenly and gently throughout the entire pan – not just the base.

Professional-style cast handles are attached with stainless steel rivets for a superior, secure fixing and the addition of helper handles on selected sizes makes lifting easier.

Tools to use

For stirring comfort and surface protection, Le Creuset silicone tools are recommended. Wooden or heat-resistant plastic tools may also be used. Metal tools, spoons or balloon whisks may only be used with care and should not be scraped over the surface. Do not knock these on the top rim of the pan. Hand-held electric or battery-operated beaters should not be used. Their blades will damage the enamel.

Cleaning and care

Always cool a hot pan completely before washing. Remember to dry it thoroughly before storing. Never plunge a hot pan into cold water. While the Le Creuset Stainless Steel is designed to be durable, thermal shock can still occur and may result in a warped base.

If there are food residues, fill the pan with warm water and let soak until the residues release easily. Nylon or soft abrasive pads or brushes can be used to remove stubborn residue. Do not use metallic pads or harsh cleaning agents, as these will damage the surface. A proprietary stainless steel cleaner can be used to remove hard water lime scale and other marks. It can also be used to condition, polish and protect the inner and outer surfaces. If you notice a slight discoloration on your pans after cleaning them in a dishwasher, try a different detergent.

Never store pans while they are still damp; store them in a dry cupboard away from steam.
