My wife and I have two of the Le Creuset Signature pans - this nine inch version and the twelve inch iteration. We got the thirty centimeter pan for our first anniversary and the twenty three centimeter for our second. These pans are, without question, the best frying pans I have ever used. I first encountered them in the care of a roommate who was gifted two of them upon graduating culinary school. The special enamel coating is unlike any pan I have ever used: it is not a traditional "non-stick", nor is it a plain cast iron. It is a unique enamel formulation that, over a short period of time, acquires a patina which offers the best of both worlds. It imparts the kind of rich carmelization and browning you expect from well-seasoned cast iron, while also having outstanding non-stick qualities without any unusual chemicals (PTFE, etc.) being involved.
Unlike traditional cast iron, the Signature pans do not require seasoning with oil and high heat, and can be washed with regular dish soap and scrubber sponges or the like. You can put them in the dishwasher, and you can use heavy scrub brushes on them, but both of these things will inhibit (or outright prevent) the development of the patina that enables the enamel finish to really function as intended. I recommend only hand washing, and only using soft nylon scrubber sponges at most. Fortunately, even high heat cooking rarely if ever sticks anything to this pan so badly that you can't clean it off with a sponge or, at worst, getting at it with a wooden spoon.
To really make the pan shine - literally and figuratively - I recommend that after cleaning and drying it, you spray it with a light coating of neutral vegetable oil (soy or canola) and gently wipe it down with a paper towel to form a light shiny coat. Doing this every time will help develop the patina more quickly, and leaves the pan ready to fry the next time you reach for it. You don't need a lot of oil here - just a smidge.
These pans are expensive, no question. They are also ridiculously durable and incredibly useful. They will probably end up in our will. We barely use any of our other pans anymore! They're that good.

Best Skillet Ever!
First off No seasoning required for this skillet, even the manual says no seasoning required. This is the single greatest pan/skillet in my opinion for cooking. Cooking is a joy with this skillet, we use medium to low heat on everything as the manual suggests and we let the pan come to temperature before using it. Using high heat with this skillet is sure to make everything you cook Stick to the skillet. We use wood spoons with this to ensure it will last a lifetime so my bad habit of banging a spoon on the side will not hurt this skillet. Cleaning this skillet is easy with soap and hot water as long as you do not burn stuff in it, using high heat will make cleaning Harder. If you have been holding off about purchasing this skillet Buy it, it will make cooking more enjoyable if you love cooking.

For those that have problems cooking in the skillet, you’re doing it wrong. Sorry but it’s the truth, you have to do your part to learn how to cook in cast iron and especially enameled cast iron because it is a little different.
1- The skillet is not nonstick nor does the description say that it is.
2 - It is also not meant to be seasoned as some may think is the problem. The interior is sealed with enamel, you can’t season it like bare cast iron. Food won’t stick if you know how to use it.
3 - The pan needs to heat up before you put anything in it. If you’ve only ever cooked in nonstick cookware you can get away with starting with too cold of a skillet, cast iron requires the skillet to be hot. I turn the burner to a medium setting and let it heat up for 3-4 minutes along with your choice of oil or cooking spray before putting any food in. Cast iron initially heats un-evenly but retains that heat. That’s also why when cooking delicate things like eggs I actually shut the burner off halfway through as the skillet will retain its heat for quite some time.
4 - I got the pan in the photos about a year ago and it cooks food just as great today as it did the first day. My pan hasn’t developed the patina that is mentioned but I tend to throw mine in the dishwasher after wiping it out which will slow that process.
5 - And being able to throw this in the dishwasher if you’re feeling extremely lazy is something you’ll never be able to do with regular cast iron.
I just bought my second pan and gave it as a gift, these things are great!
