In the realm of culinary craftsmanship, few materials have stood the test of time quite like cast iron. Renowned for its durability, heat retention, and versatility, cast iron cookware has been a staple in kitchens for generations. However, it's the evolution of this classic kitchen essential that has sparked a new wave of interest among chefs and home cooks alike – enter enameled cast iron cookware sets.

Picture a piece of cookware with a large flat bottom — one with short sides, a long handle, and the perfect shape for cooking up a tasty seared steak. What comes to mind? 

In 1934, Le Creuset first debuted their iconic French skillet to the United States as a component of their “Art Deco” collection.

When it comes down to it, as far as high-temperature searing (as for steaks) goes, the pans are equally efficient. A skillet offers advantages for sautéing, and a sauté pan offers advantages for shallow-frying, moderate-temperature searing (as for chicken pieces), or braising. In an ideal world, you'd have both, but if I had to pick one, I'd go with the skillet, as sautéing is a step in nearly every recipe I make.
