Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 6-1/3-Inch Skillet with Iron Handle, Cherry

A few tips when using these skillets
It's important what kind of fat/oil you use when cooking eggs in this pan!

I also had a bad experience cooking eggs in this pan when I first got it. What I found is that you need to use low heat and butter (or butter like substitute). Its possible other oils might work, but I've had nothing but success when I use low/medium heat, a pat of butter and two eggs in the pan. They come out great every time now! I ended up buying the 10 and 11 3/4 inch pans :).

So here's a few handy tips:

1) Use low/medium heat
2) Wait for the pan to heat up (watch your oil to get an idea of when to put your food in)
3) Use the right fat/oils for the type of food you are cooking

Hope this helps others.

Another Excellent Product from Le Creuset!
I have purchased quite a few products from both Le Creuset and Lodge and this one definitely serves a purpose. I came from a large family and was used to cooking in very large quantities so at one time I probably would have assumed this skillet had no place in a decent kitchen. How wrong I would have been. As already stated by others, it's perfect for sauteing garlic, onion, butter, small amounts of vegetables, or for cooking individual personal omelettes or one or two eggs. It's easy to use and very easy to clean. Heat is distributed evenly so food cooks well regardless of where it is in the skillet. One thing I cook regularly is an egg white omelette. It's quick and easy to make, slides out of the pan onto my plate, and once the pan cools, clean up is a breeze.

One reviewer noted that she finds this pan to be stickier than regular cast iron. I was surprised to hear that was someone's experience. I own all different types of cast iron products and the plain cast iron is...

big review reader
I read tons and tons of reviews. I don't write as many as I should. This pan is a solid well performing pan except for the reason I bought it. I bought it to replace a nonstick skillet I use to cook eggs. I really want to find a safe alternative to the traditional nonstick (toxic at high temps) surface. I love Le Creuset except the eggs stick even using oil and all the other ideas here in the reviews. I hate cleaning it too. I have 2 small children and the time it takes to clean/soak this pan after an egg breakie my 2 year will dismantle the coffee maker. So I will use this pan but not for eggs.
