Le Creuset Signature Deep Saute Pan
Inspired by nearly a century of culinary craftsmanship, Le Creuset is proud to present the Signature collection as the next evolution of its enameled cast-iron cookware. Signature seamlessly blends Le Creuset's classic form and feel with the latest ergonomic and functional innovations. Shallow enough for high-heat searing and sauteing yet deep enough for slow-cooking. The versatile covered saute pan can go from cooktop to oven to table. Optimized for steady, even heat, Le Creuset's improved enamel interior resists staining, dulling, and wear and tear. Enamel interior's light sand color makes it easy to monitor food while cooking, ensuring less sticking and burning. Stabilizers in the newly engineered lid prevent rocking, keeping the lid snugly in place. Improved ergonomic, composite knob resists temperatures up to 500deg.F and provides a sure grip. Enameled cast-iron construction boasts superior heat-retention and requires no additional seasoning. Dishwasher safe for fast, convenient cleanup. A Williams-Sonoma Exclusive.

My favorite LeCreuset pan
May 9, 2013
I have three other LeCreuset pans (each a different color) and three of the baking dishes. This size, however, is my favorite. I've only had this pan for a week, but I have already made a soup, a chowder, spaghetti sauce, and browned meats. There are only two of us in the house, but this size is not too large. I'm going to bake cornbread in it next. I chose the quince color this time. It is a nice, soft yellow. The competition's yellow is too bright for my taste. I leave this pan on my cooktop because it is pretty to look at and so far it is the pan I reach for first. I think this is a super investment, and I was able to take advantage of a promotional cost.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Color, Size, Versatile, Shape, Design, Weight

A Must Have!
January 16, 2013
I could not be happier with this pan! The light-colored enamel makes it easier to see the food cooking, and also to make sure the pan is clean.
When I bought it, I was worried it would be hard to clean because I'd previously used nonstick... but it's actually easier! And smells don't stick like they can with nonstick, which is important if you cook with lots of spices, onions, or garlic. The only thing I find tough to clean off is okra.
The only drawbacks are that this pan is huge and heavy, but that's what makes it useful.
We eat sautéed or braised veggies every day, and this pan is perfect! It's also good for dishes that require both browning and simmering and dishes that cook on the stovetop and in the oven, like beef bourguignon or frittatas. After browning on the stovetop, this pan can go straight to the oven.
I use it so much (every day, and sometimes twice for one meal!) that I bought a second one for the holidays!
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Design
Cons: Weight, Size

New go-to pan!
December 27, 2012
Finally decided to make an investment in the basics ( the Deep Saute Pan and a 7qt Round Dutch Oven). The deep saute pan has become my kitchen workhorse. We're a household of 2 with frequent guests and a love of leftovers, so the size is perfect. No comment on the meat-braising qualities (I'm a vegetarian) but the pan is great for veggies, rice, beans, and everything else. Yes, the pan & lid are heavy, but not unmanageable. Heats evenly & keeps food warm on the table. Found the enamel surface of Le Creuset to be an excellent (healthy and safer) substitute to potentially toxic non-stick coatings. No scrubbing required (leaving the pan in warm soapy water for 10 min, while doing the rest of the dishes). Still love my non-enameled cast iron skillet (which I'll reserve for the carnivores steaks), but the Le Creuset cookware has proven much more versatile. The Ocean color is so gorgeous, I leave the pan right on top of the stove, ready for the next meal.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Easy to Clean, Color, Size, Versatile, Shape

One of the best Le Creuset pans!
October 28, 2012
This is one of my favorite Le Creuset pieces yet!! . It is very versatile and the perfect size! Great for making thick pans of cornbread or casseroles, & perfect for frying since it is deeper than the skillets! This is fast becoming my "go-to" pot for nearly everything!! If I could only have one piece of Le Creuset, this is the piece I would get!
Pros: Easy to Use, Quality, Size, Versatile, Shape, Design

Saute Away!!
September 4, 2012
Love it! What a versatile saute pan great for preparing many dishes. Direct from stove top to oven to table if you desire. Even cooking throughout. Love the size and depth. The pan is very heavy and a little difficult to store but oh it's worth the trouble.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Color, Size, Versatile, Shape, Design

Does everything
June 2, 2012
I love this pan and can use it for everything.
Sauteeing, frying, making thai dishes, spaghetti sauces, stews and best of all risotto. Most recently I used to boil down rhubarb, which it did perfectly.
Yes, it is heavy and the knob on the top keeps getting loose but it is a fabulous kitchen tool. If I had to choose one pot or pan, THIS IS IT!

Excellent for frying chicken!
March 13, 2012
I am hooked on the LeCreuset cookware now, between that and my shoes, my hubby gets nervous! I love the even heating and how the chicken (and other things of course) come out; these pans are good quality and will last a lifetime. I do have trouble lifting the pan to scrape out gravey due to it;s weight but someone can help me with that usually. The clean up is amazingling easy.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Color, Size, Versatile, Shape
Cons: Weight

Incredible Intro to Le Creuset
October 27, 2011
This was my first Le Creuset...I told the sales person I wanted a 'deep, chicken-frying skillet' and this is what she recommended - it's PERFECT! It's plenty big for any dish...even a roast with all the trimmings. I was an instant fan - it's SO versatile...I've even made soup in it. It's worth every penny!
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Size, Versatile, Shape

Can Do Anything Pot
June 1, 2011
As expected, Le Creuset does not disappoint. Browning chops and building a meal around them in this pan was quick and easy because of the high sides and general roominess. Clean up was a snap........it's amazing! Without a doubt, this could be the workhorse of your collection. I can't wait to try other receipes in this pot!
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Size, Versatile

Browns Superbly
May 15, 2011
I was originally concerned about the browning performance of LC compared with Staub because I had read reviews stating the darker interior of the Staub cookware offered better browing performance. Having this pan and a Staub I was able to do a side by side comparison browning skinless chicken breasts. The breast in the LC pan cooked to a deep golden brown matching the Staub. Suffice it to say the LC Signature will take a backseat to no other pan in terms of browning performance. I have not owned LC before so I can't say if the signature series is better at browning than the classic series.... I will enjoy cooking for many years with my LC and Staub pans. I must say, however, the ocean color and the sand interior of the LC Signature are incredibly pleasing from an asthetic stand point and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
I would also like to note that, in my case, i have not been able to detect any blemishes or defects in the enamel finish of the LCS cookware.

I didn't think I needed this pan! Wrong.
January 31, 2011
I have always loved Le Creuset and have all the pots in varying sizes but I did not have this one. I generally used non-stick good quality pans. I bought this one day and once I used it I couldn't live with out it. It is the best. Perfect for any dish you sear/saute/or braise meat. Great for sauces. A GO TO PAN.

Worth every dime!!
December 6, 2010
I bought this pan about 2 years ago, and gave it to my sister after noticing that she had an old cheap set for many years. She loves this pan and cooks with it everyday. About a year later, I really missed my pan, so I ordered another one. It sits on my stove, and I use it for almost everything from fajitas to stew. I will never part with this pan again. Buy it...you will not be sorry!
