Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast Iron Skillet with Iron Handle - 11.75 Inch (2-3/8 Quart) - Cherry Red - Perfect for Searing, Braising & Oven-to-Table Serving

First off no seasoning required for this skillet? The manual says no seasoning required but I wondered. So I have cooked with this pan not seasoned and it cooks very well but some things tend to stick no matter how much butter or oil is added. I recently seasoned this pan, it cooks much better and nothing sticks to the pan anymore. I feel this is the single greatest pan/skillet for searing, frying or baking in the oven. 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.
