Le Creuset Alpine Outdoor Collection Skillet

The Alpine Outdoor Collection skillet comes pre-seasoned and ready to use right out of the box. However, like all cast iron, it will benefit from regular seasoning over time to maintain and improve its non-stick properties.

While it is designed for outdoor adventures, this skillet is perfectly safe and effective on indoor stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric ranges. Its flat base ensures it performs just as well in your kitchen as it does over a campfire.

Dishwashers use harsh detergents and high-pressure water that will strip away the seasoning layer, leading to rust and degradation of the cast iron surface. To protect the integrity of the metal and the finish, you should always hand wash it with warm water and dry it thoroughly.

Unlike Le Creuset's classic enameled pieces, this skillet features a raw, seasoned cast iron surface. This finish is specifically engineered to handle the intense, direct heat of outdoor cooking and is more resistant to the wear and tear associated with campfire use.

Clean it while the pan is still warm by using a stiff brush and hot water to remove food residue. Avoid using soap if possible, as it can strip the seasoning; immediately dry the pan completely with a towel and apply a very light coating of oil before storing it.
