This cast iron deep skillet from Le Creuset is solid. Perfect for cooking anything that needs a good sear, like steaks or chicken thighs. The depth makes it great for one-pan meals like pasta, stir-fries, or even deep frying small batches of food. Works on the stove and can go straight into the oven for baking cornbread or finishing off dishes. Heats evenly and holds heat well, so food cooks perfectly. Easy to clean and lasts a lifetime.
