Use this heavyweight fry pan for low-fat cooking that preserves the full flavor of foods. Made in France of enameled cast iron, the pan gets very hot for superb searing and requires very little oil. Low sides prevent condensation, so foods turn out crispy and browned to perfection. The pan needs no seasoning and won't rust or absorb flavors. Dishwasher safe. Made in France. Azure Blue is a Williams-Sonoma exclusive color.
