Is Le Creuset Skillet 8inch Good for Induction Cooktops?

What size cast iron skillet should I buy first?

A 10-12 inch skillet is the most versatile starting size. It handles everything from eggs to steaks and fits most burners. Add an 8-inch later for smaller tasks.

Why does food stick to my cast iron?

Food sticks when the pan isn't hot enough or doesn't have enough fat. Preheat the pan, add oil until shimmering, then add food. The pan should sizzle immediately.

Can cast iron skillets be used for deep frying?

Yes, cast iron's heat retention makes it excellent for deep frying—the oil temperature stays stable when food is added. Use a deep skillet or Dutch oven for safety.

Why is my cast iron sticky after seasoning?

Sticky seasoning means too much oil was used. The fix: heat the pan on the stove until it smokes, wipe with a paper towel, and let it cool. Next time, use a thinner oil layer.
