I'm a huge fan of Le Cruest's products and own a few well chosen pieces. Having said that, this new satin finish is a disappointment. I was given this a gift a year ago and was thrilled- until I used it.

I really wish they'd go back to their original smooth enamel finish. This must be an attempt to produce an interior more durable for using metal utensils with. An attempt that in my opinion is a failure. Things (like eggs and hamburgers) stick to this finish. You have to use a lot more fat to prevent sticking. It's hard to get clean, takes quite a bit of scrubbing even after soaking. It doesn't give the finish to grilled meats, etc that I want from a fry pan. Forget deglazing it to make a sauce. I find my All Clad 9 inch skillet to be a superior performer to this one.

Since this is a 9 inch skillet, I haven't used it to saute onions, etc., so I can't say how it performs with these items.

I do use it to make cornbread and to roast small portions of meats or veg in the oven, with good results (as long as I'm not going to use the browned bits to make a sauce). This to me though, is not enough uses to justify buying it.

Product Description:
This reliable skillet from Le Creuset features the manufacturer's signature combination of cast iron and coated enamel. The piece not only retains and distributes heat evenly; its strong surface resists scratches, stains, and the damaging effects of regular household use. The iron-handled skillet measures 9 inches across, holds 1-3/8 quarts, and features sloping sides for rapid evaporation. It ably sautes, fries, and sears. The cast iron handle won't shake or wobble and comes with a hole in its center for hanging storage; use of a potholder is required for hand protection. An additional helper handle aids transport, while two integrated pouring spouts simplify draining fats and juices. Although practical in every way, the pan doesn't sacrifice an attractive appearance. Its shiny finish--available in many colors--enables the cookware to transition from stove to table and hold its own as serveware. The dishwasher-safe skillet measures 10-1/2 by 15-1/4 by 1-3/5 inches and carries a limited lifetime warranty.
