You might remember my recent post announcing that Le Creuset Canada has just released an entire new line – Le Creuset Toughened Nonstick Cookware.
About the collection:
The Toughened Nonstick Cookware line is safe and easy to use. Each piece is constructed through a special hot forging process that prevents warping and ensures consistent heat distribution. The pieces are ideal for all stovetops, including induction, and are oven safe to 260°C / 500° F. Using superior grade, environmentally friendly 100% PFOA-free reinforced coating, the new Le Creuset Toughened Nonstick Cookware is built to resist flaking and peeling in even the harshest of conditions. Sticky and delicate ingredients slide right off making cooking and cleanup easier than ever while the toughened nonstick surface means healthier cooking as it minimizes the need for oil. All products feature stainless steel stay-cool ergonomic handles to make for easy maneuvering in the kitchen. The gorgeous tempered all-glass lid, which features a new stainless steel knob, is available in a variety of sizes and is a sophisticated addition to any piece in the product assortment.
I was thrilled with the results from the 28cm Shallow Frying Pan and was excited to give the 30cm Deep Frying Pan a test run.
I’d been looking to replace my (very old, very uneven) deep frying pan for a while now and one thing I’ve been looking for was that it be ovensafe (my old one is not – had a plastic handle and knob on the lid – so was a bit limited in its functionality for that reason). The Toughened Nonstick line comes with a series of standalone glass lids with stainless steel knobs (I LOVE a glass lid – it allows you to see what’s going on without interrupting the cooking process).
Can you spy the spaghetti and meatballs there? Yup – all made in one pan, no mess, no fuss! The deep frying pan is a perfect vessel for this type of “one pot” recipe. The depth and capacity mean it’s less likely to spatter and spill and the curved sides mean it’s excellent for dishes you’d typically make in a wok. The non-stick surface is a dream to work with and you don’t need to use much oil at all – the food practically slides right off, making it easier to cook with less oil – no sticks guaranteed! The handle is, once again, stay cool which makes it easy to work with and the pan itself is not as heavy as you might imagine for a pan that feels this sturdy. The pans are dishwasher safe but are pretty quick and easy to clean by hand too (actually they literally just wipe clean).
For this recipe, I’ve “cheated” and used sausage meat out of its casing to form mini meatballs. Honestly 75% of the time these days, this is how I make meatballs. It cuts back on prep time because your meat is always seasoned (there are a lot of different varieties of sausage out there – experiment to see what you like best!). Means you can get dinner on the table in under 30 minutes and with only one pan to wash. What could be better?

MY BOOK! In the French kitchen with kids is out now! Click here for details and how to order!
That recipe sounds really delicious and exactly the type of dishes we love at home!! I should probably look at more ideas like this one (aka one pot meal) because our kitchen is minuscule and we quickly run out of counter/cooking space when making a meal. And I dream of getting beautiful Le Creuset cookware at some stage (again, when we have more kitchen space 🙂 ).
Genius idea using sausages for meatballs! My neighbours complemented me on the aroma that filled the hallway as I was cooking.
