Editorial Review:
This grill is a good size for searing a steak, or grilling a couple of chicken breasts, or perhaps a couple of red peppers. You'll get desirable grill marks and if you need to keep the items you've just cooked warm, pop this piece right into the oven.This edition of Le Creuset's grill pan is skinny, about 1-1/2 inches tall, which makes it great for quesadillas and veggies in addition to steaks and fish. With a grill pattern of raised ribs in the bottom, this 10-inch round pan grill sears tasty grill marks into burgers and other foods that benefit from stovetop grilling and the caramelized flavor grill marks impart. The ribs also elevate food so that fat collects between them, allowing for low-calorie cooking. Because cast iron is unexcelled at retaining heat and distributing it evenly--no hot spots--food will cook uniformly in the pan. The design of the handles--one on each side with space for hands to wrap around--makes the pan easy to lift. Enameled on the outside with a bright, smooth surface and inside with a black satin-texture finish that doesn't need seasoning, this durable grill goes on any stovetop, in the oven, or under a broiler. It's also stylish enough to bring to the table. Though it's dishwasher-safe, hand washing preserves the patina that builds up with use and preserves the skillet's stick resistance. Like all Le Creuset cast-iron cookware, the pan is made in France using a one-of-a-kind mold that ensures each piece's uniqueness and carries a lifetime warranty against defects.
Customer Reviews: Avg. Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0  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... more info
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... more info 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... more info Disappointed: 
Le Creuset cookware is my favorite, but this grill is an exception. It is an absolute nightmare to clean. I worked on it off and on for 3 days. My advice is to skip this item, and use the other, enamel-coated cast iron that makes Le Creuset so great.
