Grill Pan
What is Grill Pan?
A grill pan is similar to a frying pan but differs in its distinctive grill lines on the surface of the pan. These grill lines serve a few different purposes, including adding char marks, colour, and texture to the dish. These grill lines are typically 1-2cm high, searing food evenly and draining excess fat.
A grill pan is ideal for replicating the flavour of the outdoor grill and helps remove excess fat from the ingredients. The pan’s raised edges and rectangular shape, moreover, offer plenty of surface area for ingredients to be grilled. Le Creuset grill pans, moreover, are made from enamelled cast iron, ensuring heat retention and durability for years to come.
How is a Grill Pan used?
Grill pans can be used for many different recipes and are typically used to prepare steak, vegetables, chicken, shrimp, and fish. This piece of cookware is suitable for all cooktops, including induction, and is even oven safe up to 260ºC (500°F). Its enamelled cast iron construction ensures superior heat retention, and that food is cooked evenly.
The grill pan’s ridges also allow fat to flow off the meat as a traditional grill would. Indeed, the grill pan is an easy way to add flavour to any dish, exposing ingredients to a consistent heat source while preventing them from being steamed, boiled, sauteed, or otherwise saturated in their own juices.
Benefits of a Grill Pan
The grill pan is an easy way to add both flavour and colour to a dish. The pan’s grill lines are designed to improve texture, creating a delicious crust on the surface of ingredients. The grill pan’s large surface area makes for easy cooking and is a great way to mimic the experience of outdoor grilling. Its black surface ensures ingredients are seared deeper, enhancing flavour with attractive char marks. The grill pan is extremely durable and resistant to chipping, staining, or peeling. This piece of cookware delivers rich flavours all year round, grilling away unnecessary fat from meat, which collects in the grates.
