Gooooooooood morning shoppers and welcome to Amazon Big Deal Days 2023!!! The sales event that started early this morn will run through October 11—and I am, to put it mildly, freaking tf out about how good the deals are. We’ve got sales for all things beauty, fitness gear (Alo Yoga, heyyy), Apple Watches, and pet supplies, which is basically everything you could ever want.
But right now, I wanna talk about one specific sale that’ll make your food-loving (or TikTok-recipe-saving) heart sing. That’s right, I’m referring to the Le Creuset Amazon Prime Signature Iron Handle Cast Iron Skillet deals because the brand just marked down their Signature Iron Handle Cast Iron Skillet by a nice 20%. The 9-inch pan, usually $174.95, is only $139.95 right now. *Screams!!*
“Why buy a fancy pan,” you might be asking yourself, “when you already have a perfectly fine pan at home?”
The answer: At some point, every at-home cook realizes that their low-quality cookware has thrown a wrench in a recipe or two (I’m specifically talking about the rickety $10 pan that your scrambled eggs consistently stick to no matter how much oil you use 🥲). In order to remedy that and really level up your breakfast prep/frying game/stovetop-to-oven recipes, you’ll want a cast iron skillet like the Le Creuset Signature Iron Handle Pan Le Creuset Signature Iron Handle Pan oven safe up to 500 degrees (like, damn).
And sure, a lot of cast iron pans offer gorgeous heat distribution and longevity, but there are a few reasons why the Le Creuset cast iron bb is superior to your average cookware. Traditional cast iron requires a tedious seasoning period where you have to bake the oil into the pan before you can use it, but the Le Creuset cast iron pan doesn’t require seasoning before use (praise!) while still becoming more naturally non-stick over time, thanks to the oil from whatever you're cooking.
Also, you’re really not supposed to submerge regular cast iron in water, but you’re totally fine to do so with these particular skillets—you can even stick them in the dishwasher for easy cleaning. And did I mention they’re super durable so you can use any utensil on them (including metal) without having to worry about scratches and scrapes?
These bad boys can be hefty because they’re made of such heavy-duty material, but the Le Creuset version is literally the lightest weight cast iron pan by quart on the market rn. Consider me sold.
If you're a loyal member of the Le Creuset fan club and want to add a few more pieces to your collection, the iconic brand marked down a ton of their other best-selling products just for Prime Big Deal days. And yes, that includes their enamel Dutch ovens, bread ovens, stockpots, and baking dishes!
If that isn't a sign to upgrade your kitchen stuff before cozy szn is here in full force, I don't know what is. Happy shopping! ✨
