Cast Iron Cookware / Kiwi Color Enamel Finish
By squaring this skillet and flaring its sides, famed French cookware manufacturer Le Creuset offers extra cooking room for steaks, fish, burgers, or any food that benefits from stovetop grilling and the caramelized flavor imparted by seared grill marks. The ribs in the grill's bottom not only provide those marks but also elevate foods so that fat collects between them for low-calorie cooking. Because cast iron is unmatched for heat retention and even distribution--no hot spots--foods will cook uniformly in the 10-1/4-inch-square grill. Enameled outside with a matte surface and inside with a black satin-texture finish, this is a heavy, durable grill that works on any stovetop, in the oven, or under a broiler. It's also stylish enough (think French farmhouse kitchen) to bring to the table. Though it's dishwasher-safe, hand washing preserves a patina that builds up with use and aids in the grill's stick resistance. The skillet grill measures 11-3/4 by 16-3/4 by 2 inches and carries a limited lifetime warranty. --Fred Brack

Love LeCreuset!:
This is a wonderful grill pan. Enough room to make 4 of lots of things--burgers, chicken breasts, fish filets, etc. As with most Le Creuset products, they come in several bright colors. This pan is also easy to clean and has great heat distribution. The one drawback to it is... its pretty heavy, but that's kind of to be expected with it being cast iron.
Not a favorite... limited use, hard to clean:
First off let me say I really like Le Cruset pans, I have several. This is my least favorite pan. There are three main reasons why I dislike this pan, it is difficult to clean, limited applications, and the whole pan gets hot. The quality is solid, but the difficulty of using this pan through cleaning makes it a difficult pan. I have had this pan for about three years. It is used the least of my Le Cruset pan. I believe the major flaw with this pan is that it is so difficult to season. I am not new to... more info
Heavenly!:
My grandmother had an old cast iron grill pan which I'd always coveted. Now I bought this one and it works beautifully. I couldn't be happier and use it regularly. Like all cast iron, it's heavy but is very much worth its weight.
The best indoor grill:
Grill your meat and veggies on this grill pan. They will taste like they were grilled on an outdoor grill. It also holds more food than it looks. It is a cast iron pan. You need to pre-heat first before you put anything on it. I spray a cooking spray before I put meat on this. Clean up is easy. Just scrub it with a sturdy plastic brush under running hot water (not too hot). After that I put it on the stove and heat it up until the water evaporates. NO SOAP needed. Outside enamel gets blackened, but... more info
