Know before you buy
This pan offers the durability and heat retention of cast iron but at half the weight, making it much easier to maneuver on and off the grill. It also responds more quickly to temperature changes and develops a non-stick seasoning faster than traditional cast iron.
Yes, this pan is compatible with both gas and electric stovetops. However, because it features 53 perforations, it is designed specifically for grilling or campfire cooking where direct flame contact is intended; it is not suitable for cooking liquids or small items that would fall through the holes.
Like all carbon steel cookware, this pan must be hand-washed and dried thoroughly immediately after use to prevent rust. While it comes preseasoned for immediate use, you should continue to build and maintain the seasoning over time by lightly oiling it after cleaning.
This grill pan is engineered to withstand extreme heat up to 1200°F. This makes it exceptionally durable for high-heat searing over open flames, charcoal grills, or even campfires.
While the total diameter of the pan is 12.5 inches, the usable cooking surface diameter is 9.25 inches. This provides ample space for grilling vegetables, wings, or smaller cuts of meat.
