Le Creuset Enameled 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.

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.

This is a great pan. Try to follow Julia Childs’ recipe for tarte Tatin. As hot as the pan can get, dark caramelization is still an issue. Julia sprinkles the tart with powdered sugar and puts under the broiler to get that dark, crispy color.

It is exactly the same works exactly as on the British cooking show

My mother in law loves to bake and she has pretty much everything Le Creuset makes, so when I saw this and knew she didn't have it, it was a no brainier. This is true Le Creuset made and if you don't want to make the tartes, you can use it as a pie, quiche or any other round dish to bake with. And the price was too good to pass up!

I needed a cast iron enameled pan with straight sides that was not too big. I wanted to make frittata in it. I found this one while surfing Amazon Le Creuset. I couldn't find it in any stores. I knew it would be perfect. It also fits the same lid as a Dutch Oven I already owned. Since purchasing this pan, I have made beautiful frittata as well as traditional Tart Tetin.

I love this heavy cookware. I am also finding many more uses than recipes, because of the versitility of stove top to oven and it cleans up so beautifully! And unlike others IT WILL GO IN THE DISHWASHER, !

I like the sturdy well built product and I will use it for baking and warming food.
