This skillet grill is aimed at fans of grilled meat, poultry and vegetables who want durable cookware. It complements a set of pots and pans, but it does not replace a regular frying pan for every kind of preparation.
A quality grill, aimed more at enthusiasts than at anyone looking for an economical piece of cookware. This analysis is based on the manufacturer's technical specifications and on culinary principles, without hands-on testing.
Before buying a cast iron grill, check the following points:
Yes, the technical specifications indicate compatibility with all hobs: gas, electric, ceramic and induction.
Yes, it is oven-compatible, according to the manufacturer's temperature recommendations. Check them before use.
No, the enamel makes seasoning unnecessary. It is still advisable to lightly oil the food before cooking.
It is dishwasher-compatible, but the manufacturer recommends hand washing in hot water with a mild dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge. The ridges need particular attention.
It is not a non-stick surface in the conventional sense. Preheat gradually over moderate heat, pat meat dry and lightly oil it. Do not move it too early.
No. Contact happens mainly on the ridges, and thick cuts may need additional cooking. For poultry, check doneness with a thermometer.
