Le CreusetEnameled Cast Iron Signature Saucepan, 1.75 qt., Sea Salt

Being a cast iron pot, this sauce pan is highly efficient in dissipating and retaining heat. This is the larger of the two sizes (1.75 vs 2.25 qts). Overall, 2.25-quart size may appear small compared to sizes offered in the dutch oven category. However, this pan is rather large bring able to hold decent amounts of liquids. The lid is 18 cm in diameter which is about 7 inches. The picture shows its size compared to a 9-inch skillet in the background. Any larger and this pan would become more difficult to handle due to its heavy weight.The lid sits squarely on the rim without any discernible space in between which makes for a good seal. Once its heated to a point enough to boil water, the pan remains warm for further 3 hours.The bottom is also flat to a point of being able to sit on the heating surface with no rocking movement. As with other types of enameled cast iron items from this manufacturer, the inner surface is easy to clean with just soap and water.Overall, the sauce pan is highly useful and versatile in its applications.Highly recommended.

My brother uses the 1.75 quart and I was so impressed with the quality I had to have one. I purchased the larger 2.25 quart because I will use it for many things from soups and stews to salsas and marineras. This is a cooking pot I will hand down to future generations. Yes it is pricey, but quality isn't cheap. Amazing product.

I have been watching these Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Saucepans for months, waiting for them to be marked down. Finally, it happened this week, and I ordered two sizes. These pans are amazing. They hold the heat and are super easy to clean.

I’ve been using Le Creuset since 1985. One cannot go wrong with this product - the company stands by every piece and are easy to deal with in case one has a question(s). Cannot entice me to use any other brand of cookware.

Awesome pot
