Turn down the heat – Le Creuset skillets and pans retain heat exceptionally well. So you only need to use medium to medium-high heat for searing. One of the most common reasons that food sticks to our pans is using a heat setting that is too high.

Shannon found some of the same cast iron options (made in France) tested positive for metals in some colors on the exterior (like red) and was good for other colors. Her blue Le Creuset tested fairly good – Lead and Cadmium free on the inside and Lead-free on the outside with only low levels of Cadmium on the outside.
Like their Dutch ovens, Le Creuset coat their skillets in durable enamel, which enhances the flavor of your food and reduces the need for traditional seasoning. The only downside is that the skillets aren't dishwasher-safe, and you might have to give them a good scrub to get clean.

Does HexClad have Teflon in it? Teflon is a proprietary brand of PTFE made by Chemours that is not used by HexClad. Instead, the brand now uses ceramic to coat the nonstick valleys of its cookware.
While Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron is dishwasher-safe, we do recommend hand washing to keep the finish beautiful. Over time, constant dishwashing may lead to some dulling of the enamel finish, but it's important to note that this will not hinder the cooking performance.
Wash your Le Creuset product in warm, soapy water; then rinse and dry thoroughly. Condition the interior non-stick surface by rubbing vegetable or corn oil over the entire surface, using a paper towel. When you're done, rinse your product with hot water, then dry thoroughly.
When a nonstick pan loses its coating, the metal beneath it is exposed and can rust. Consuming small amounts of rust isn't dangerous, but it will affect the taste of your food. At this point, replace your pan.
HexClad Cookware advertises its nonstick pans as free from harmful chemicals. But, according to recent reports, HexClad may be using a chemical compound called PTFE as a non-stick coating on its pans. PTFE is a type of PFA, or “forever” chemical, that can build up in the human body and does not break down over time.

The first brand to debut a PFAS-free nonstick coating, GreenPan has made a name for non-toxic cookware that rivals traditional nonstick and does what Teflon can't: handling high heat on the stove and in the oven. It's oven-safe up to 600°F and compatible with all stovetops, and it doesn't release fumes when heated.
As for cleaners, our Le Creuset Cast Iron Cookware Cleaner will help keep your Dutch oven looking great, and is ideal for removing metal marks caused by metal tools. Bar Keeper's Friend, or a paste of baking soda and water, also comes in handy for cleaning tough stains, oil residue and marks on your Dutch oven as well.
When the surface is hot enough, lightly oil it with cooking spray or brush it with oil using a Le Creuset silicone basting brush. Vegetable, ground nut or corn oils are recommended. Olive oil may cause excessive smoking. Once a patina covers the cooking surface very little oil will be necessary.
