Round Skinny Grill

A quality indoor grill
Le Creuset manufactures porcelain enameled cast iron cooking vessels as well as other products. Le Creuset casts these cooking vessels from molten iron poured in sand moulds that are used only once. For this reason, one grill may look like another, but each is unique in its own way.

Cast iron is a highly efficient material which absorbs and distributes heat efficiently. It is recommended that cooking with cast iron be done on low to medium heat. Using this grill on high heat can cause poor results for your food as well as making cleaning more difficult. Removing cast iron from the heat does not cool it off quickly. This helps your food stay warm while serving. Beware; iron tends to be heavy so these cooking vessels tend to be heavy as well.

Cleaning the grills are not quite as easy as its enamel coated cooking surface cousins, but is not that difficult either with a good stiff nylon brush and proper heating technique. When cleaning; be sure to cool the grill...

Where have you been all my life??
I have owned lots of "nonstick" pans & stainless steel, BBQ grills, etc. None has been as easy to use as this (or so worth using!) & I use it almost every day. It isn't that hard to clean really. I use an oil sprayer to pre-oil it (I use macadamia nut oil because of the high smoke point/health reasons but Pam should be fine), then I preheat in on medium heat (I have a ceramic top stove, which doesn't heat as well as gas, but I NEVER have to go higher than low-med to med). Once it's hot (a water drop "pops" on the surface), I put my meat, chicken, or fish & DON'T touch it for at least 5 minutes. Once the food releases easily, THEN you can turn it. But DON'T TOUCH before then! Our oven was broken for 2 wks recently & we didn't miss it. The only thing you might miss an outdoor grill for is that "smoky" taste. Otherwise, this makes beef, pork, chicken, & fish better (juicy with a wonderfully seared, carmelized surface) than most restaurants & with less effort than driving there! All I...

best piece of cookware in my kitchen
This is by far my favorite and most used thing in my kitchen.... I am a pro chef as well as a mom.
I had noticed a review about it taking a while to season or keep from sticking --- all that I did to get it to a great cooking level was... make sure the heat is always high to medium high.... then used a small amount of oil to coat food-- best way to do that is to throw whatever you want to grill in a ziplock with a little olive oil and your seasonings.. when the grill is piping hot .. throw the food on and don't touch it until you are ready to flip. I bought a cow, pig and lamb at the auction .. so we grill a lot of meat... best things on here are thick cuts... rib eye... thick cut pork chops.. but asparagus turns out great too. And my kids love the precut chicken breast tender parts... like 2-3 minutes on each side. but make sure not to use soap when washing... only hot water to rinse it and then set it back on the stove to dry... the build-up is what makes the taste so great.
