Main Benefits:
* Independently laboratory tested for metal utensil abrasion resistance.
#1: Robust 3-Layer Non-Stick Coating
Now 4 x stronger*, the new 3-layer reinforced coating used on the inside of every Le Creuset Toughened Non-Stick pan is now even more durable and resistant to abrasion from metal utensils while the tough exterior coating protects the outside of each pan to help retain its good looks. Our non-stick will never flake or peel during use and food releases flawlessly allowing you to cook with little or no fat or oil for healthier results.
#2: Hardened 6-Layer Body
Our special 6-layer construction is both tough and heat-efficient while being light enough for everyday use. The hard anodised, forged aluminium body prevents the pan from warping or distorting when heated.
#3: Versatile
Prepare meals quickly and easily, whether cooking for one or for a crowd. Le Creuset Toughened Non-Stick cookware is perfect for sautéing and stir-frying through to simmering, baking, and roasting.
#4: Handles
Our exclusive design handles are comfortable to hold and securely attached with solid stainless steel rivets. In addition, our larger pans have a helper handle for even more comfort when lifting a full pan.
#6: Suitable For All Hobs
Due to the special base construction, Le Creuset Toughened Non-Stick is suitable for all types of hobs, and can go from the hob to the oven, under the grill and then brought to the table for true one-pan ease. The integrated magnetic stainless steel disc provides efficient heat absorption on all heat sources and is perfect for induction. Toughened Non-Stick cookware is oven safe up to 260° C (up to 220° C if it is used in the oven with a Le Creuset heat-resistant glass lid).

Toughened Non-Stick Cookware Cooking Tips
Here are a few cooking tips to help you get the most from your cookware:
#1:
Before using your Toughened Non-Stick cookware for the first time, condition the interior surface by rubbing a film of vegetable or corn oil over the entire cooking surface with a paper towel. Rinse the pan with hot water and dry thoroughly. Occasional re-conditioning after this is recommended.
#2:
Always match the pan’s base size to the cooking zone to maximise efficiency, especially for induction cooking, where a mismatched size could cause weaker or no heat output.
#3:
The Toughened Non-stick range offers an ideal surface for healthier cooking. If cooking with fat or oil, simply add a small amount to the cooking surface before heating begins. This will improve the flavour and browning of foods.
#4:
When cooking with no added fat or oil, preheat the pan on a medium setting for approximately 2 minutes before adding the food. Stay close by so you can be sure the pan doesn’t get too hot.
#5:
Use low to medium heat settings during cooking. For searing or stir-frying, start with a medium to higher-heat setting, but once the pan is hot enough and the food is added, turn down the heat. You will still get a perfectly golden-brown sear on your food.
Caring For Your Toughened Non-Stick Cookware
With a little bit of care, your Toughened Non-Stick cookware can last a lifetime.
Tools To Use:
To protect your pans we recommend using Le Creuset Silicone Tools, which have been specially designed to be gentle on cookware.
Metal tools, spoons or balloon whisks may be used with caution. However, knives, utensils with sharp edges, beaters or blenders should not be used on the non-stick surface.

Cleaning Up:
Cleaning is effortless with Toughened Non-Stick. After cooking, allow the pan to cool completely. Simply use a soft sponge to wash with hot soapy water then rinse and dry thoroughly afterwards. We recommend using our fabric Pan Protectors when stacking and storing pans.
Although safe for the dishwasher, we recommend washing by hand to prolong the life of the non-stick surface and enhance cooking performance.
