Le Creuset cookware is known for its dynamic range, which is often added to and expanded according to consumer demand. The range of Le Creuset grill pans is a stellar example of this. Grill pans are becoming increasingly popular as consumers become more environmentally savvy and try to cut down on their greenhouse gas emissions, without wanting to give up on the appearance of foods prepared on an outdoor grill.
A grill pan is essentially a round or square skillet with edges and ridges on the surface of the pan, which gives food the appearance of having been prepared on an outdoor grill. But how does one choose the grilling pan that will best suit your individual needs? Here are a few things to look out for when shopping around:
- A drainage spout: A grill pan with a drainage spout in the base is best as it allows you to dispose of grease and other food particles without too much fuss.
- A non-stick surface: If you dislike lengthy cleaning procedures (and who doesn’t?) stick with non-stick cookware.
- A long, heat-resistant handle: This will allow you to handle the pan easily.
- A pan with a lid: Grilling can leave quite a mess, as grease and other food particles are bound to splatter as the food cooks. Protect your oven and kitchen surfaces by investing in a grill pan that comes with a lid.
Once you have found the grill pan that suits your particular needs you will be amazed to find how many uses you can find for it around the kitchen. Aside from cooking meat and chicken, you can also use it to prepare toasted sandwiches, grilled vegetables, burgers and more.
