LE CREUSETEnameled Cast Iron Tatin Dish, 2 Quart, Cerise

I've always had difficulty producing a perfect Tarte Tatin using my ancient cast iron skillet and various 'foolproof' recipes sourced from professional kitchens. This Le Creuset Tarte Tatin pan has solved those problems and I'm delighted. First, I tried the recipe in the booklet which came with the pan. It differs slightly from the traditional recipes, but it turned out a flawless tart. The caramelized apples didn't stick to the pan and the handle design really helped flipping it onto the plate. The tart was gorgeous and tasty, easily the best I've ever made. I felt satisfied and vindicated. Next, I want to try to adapt Julia's recipe to this pan. Also anxious to try the savory recipes in the booklet. As for the pan itself (mine is in Cerise), it is typical of Le Creuset's design and build quality in every regard. I'm very glad I added this pan to my Le Creuset collection and look forward to the many sweet and savory recipes I'll prepare in it. Highly recommended.

I bought it as a Xmas present . My son in law is French so I look forward to tasting his tarte tatin . He. Is an excellent cook so it should be good

This came quickly and is of excellent quality - did my first Tarte Tatin and it worked wonderfully. I could have used any shallow casserole dish of course but wouldn't maybe have got the same outer crispness that this gave.

I love this pan so much. It is easy to use, easy to clean, easy to bake. I don't have it for a long time, but what I cooked in it came out excellent. It is non stick if you obey some rules.I only used it for cakes, but I am sure it can be used for many other recipes. I love the handles as it is very easy to move the cake to a plate.The first thing I did was an upside down apple cake. The sugar and butter got caramelized, so the taste was divine. The pan looked very dirty with that sticky caramel. But I poured some warm water and used a silicone spatula to scrape the pan. I needed a couple of minutes and the pan was like new.This is not only a useful pan but also looks beautiful. I am happy I found this on sale, as Creuset items are utterly expensive.

Made my first Tatin tonight. Turned out beautifully. The pan is easily managed for it's intended purpose. It's beautiful and easy to clean. I look forward to making many more recipes. I would have liked a blue pan but the cerise (cherry red) is pretty.
