ENERGY EFFICIENT
Cast iron is a very energy efficient material and you will find, once hot, that you require only a low heat setting to maintain a good cooking performance. Indeed, for some recipes, once hot the pan can be removed from the heat leaving the food to cook in its own heat.
HYGIENIC
The vitreous enamel cooking surface is completely hygienic and impervious to acids and other chemicals. As well as for superior cooking functions, it is perfect therefore, to hold foods that are marinating or for storing foods (raw or cooked) in the refrigerator or freezer.
VERSATILITY
Most pieces can be used on the hob, in the oven or under the grill (excluding those with wooden handles) and can be interchanged during the preparation of a meal.
HEAT RETENTION
Le Creuset has its own all round heat retaining 'blanket'. Because the base, side walls and lid are all of the same quality and thickness there are no areas where heat can be lost rapidly. Heat is lost very slowly from cast iron meaning it can be taken to the table safe in the knowledge that food will be kept hot for some considerable time.
