Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Le Creuset Blue Sauce Pan with Lid & Phenolic Handle 1.25 Qt.
Customer Review: Absolutely fantastic for magnetic induction!
Summary: 5 Stars
I know few people that read this will have a magnetic inductioncooktop, so please consider this review just a FYI. IMHO, it's
too bad that more people don't have magnetic induction.
Magnetic induction is the most efficient form of converting
electricity into heat. (That being said, this product would be
fantastic on other "normal" cooktops as well.)
Magnetic induction is a different type of cooktop. The
cooktop consists of ceramic or glass tiles. Under the tiles
are coils of wires embedded inside a concrete slab. When turned
on the cooktop generates an oscillating magnetic field. This
magnetic field then in turn causes the atoms in the cookware
to oscillate resulting in thermal energy.
In other words, the cookware heats up but the cooktop stays
cool -- other than some thermal transfer from the cookware to
the tile because they're touching.
Cool, huh? What's the catch?
The catch is that the cookware *has* to be magnetic. You know,
place a magnet on it and it sticks. Very few brands of cookware
are magnetic. All-Clad and Le Creuset are two of the better
known brands.
We've had our magnetic induction cooktop for six years now
(Nov 2002) and over the years we built up a nice collection of
All-Clad cookware. It was just a few months ago that we bought
our first Le Creuset cookware (and it was this 1-1/4 quart
saucepan with cover).
Oh man! I sure wish someone would have told me about, given me
a saucepan, or at least demo'ed Le Creuset years ago! Wow, what
a difference! Sure wish... Had I known, I wouldn't have spent
many hundreds of dollars on All-Clad.
It is absolutely incredible how fast you can get water to boil
in this 1-1/4 quart saucepan on a magnetic induction cooktop!
In summary, this is a 5+ star product. If you have magnetic
induction, Le Creuset is the way to go! (And if you don't, it's
incredibly good cookware too! Can't go wrong.)
Description of Le Creuset Blue Sauce Pan with Lid & Phenolic Handle 1.25 Qt.
Le Creuset Precision Pour Saucepan - The reason most sauce recipes begin with "In a heavy saucepan " is because sauces need to simmer slowly and evenly. Le Creuset's cast iron construction ensures consistent heating, resulting in slow and even simmers. The porcelain enamel interior is perfect for high-acid sauces because the non-metallic coating does not react or leach into your food. The weight of cast iron lids ensures a tight seal to retain moisture. Traditional Le Creuset's saucepan designs have a flat base, a pouring lip and cast iron handles. Each pan is well balanced, comfortable to use and stable on most heat surfaces.Beautiful enough for the table, durable enough to outlive its lifetime warranty against defects, this heavy 1-1/4-quart covered saucepan is made of cast iron clad in two coats of Le Creuset's famous hard enamel. As cast iron is unexcelled for heat distribution and retention and enamel is impervious to acids and odors, the pan cooks food evenly and gently without hot spots and can be used for marinating. It goes safely on any stovetop, including induction. The pan's heavy, tight-fitting lid has a tiny hole for venting steam. Its round handle tapers at both ends for comfort and is made of a tough plastic that is ovenproof to 400 degrees F and textured for slip-resistance. Opposite the long handle is a helper handle. A chrome hanging hole permits storing the pan where its rustic appeal can be appreciated. Like all Le Creuset cast-iron cookware, the pan was made in France using a one-of-a-kind mold that ensures each piece's uniqueness. --Fred Brack
