Know before you buy
Yes, the pan is designed to be compatible with a wide range of charcoal grills, including Big Green Egg models, provided the grill surface is large enough to accommodate the pan's diameter.
The pan comes pre-seasoned for immediate use and non-stick performance. However, like all carbon steel cookware, you may want to lightly oil it after cleaning to maintain the seasoning and prevent rust over time.
The dimpled base is a traditional design feature that helps distribute heat more evenly across the surface of the pan, preventing hot spots and ensuring your rice cooks consistently.
No, the stainless steel handles will become very hot during cooking. You should always use heat-resistant gloves or mitts when handling the pan while it is on or coming off the grill.
Hand wash the pan with warm water and a soft sponge, avoiding harsh detergents or the dishwasher. After drying thoroughly, apply a very thin layer of cooking oil to the surface to protect the metal from moisture.
