La Cuisine's 10 in. Round Cast Iron Fry Pan is ideal for searing meat to retain moisture and lock in flavor. The open design maximizes the cooking surface and makes it easy to rearrange food as it is cooking. Low-slung sides aid vapor escape and the distinctive easy-grip handle plus helper-handle disperses the weight of the pan. La Cuisine's cast iron cookware is crafted using sand molds, which are used only once, forging a lighter product with a very fine enamel finish that is truly unique. Wonderfully versatile, La Cuisine's round fry pans are suited to all stovetops, including induction. The non-toxic, matte black enamel interior surface is scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, gives excellent food release that improves through continued use, and is simple to clean just wash in warm water.
