I could do with some advice on how to use Le Creuset cast iron non stick frying pans.

[Freddieready]

I have been given 2 new Le Creuset cast iron red non stick frying pans. I am used to standard Aluminium ordinary non stick pans. I find that I can't even fry eggs without them sticking to the bottom. Pancakes tonight was a nightmare!!! Some advice would be appreciated.
I was told that they should not be heated to high, about 7 out of 10 on the temperature dial.
Do you heat them up to operating temp before adding any oil?
Any suggestions for temperatures?
If you cook on about 7 is it possible to get a charred crust on meat when pan seared.
Any tips or advice would really be appreciated.....
Thanks

Just watching as considering buying one but also confused about the non-stick element.

Just wondering if anyone has these pans and can give me some advice on what sort of temps I need to have the pan so I can cook and the food will not stick.......

We bought some Le creuset pans before I got pregnant, but to be honest I never managed to find how to use them for eggs and pancakes. We ended up buying a steel pan just for that purpose and use the cast iron for everything else.
Make sure you season your pan well

Read up on seasoning cast iron pans - I LOVE my cast iron frying pan and rarely use anything else - and it gets better the longer you use it. Make sure you don't wash with detergent though as it strips the coating/ seasoning
