Know before you buy
The perforations allow smoke and direct heat from your grill to reach the food, imparting a genuine smoky flavor while preventing smaller items like vegetables or shrimp from falling through the grates.
Yes, it arrives with a protective coating that must be washed off, followed by a thorough seasoning process. Regular seasoning is essential to build a natural non-stick surface and prevent rust.
While it is designed for outdoor grilling, it is technically compatible with gas and electric stovetops. However, the perforations will allow juices and oils to drip directly onto your burners, so it is best reserved for outdoor use.
Clean it while it is still warm using hot water and a stiff brush. Avoid using soap, as it can strip the seasoning, and always dry it completely over low heat before applying a light coat of oil to prevent rust.
It is better suited for smaller, chopped, or delicate foods like fajita vegetables, asparagus, or seafood. For a heavy sear on a large steak, a solid cast iron or carbon steel skillet is a better choice to retain juices and achieve a crust.
