Know before you buy
This grill and griddle is designed for gas and electric coil stoves. It is not recommended for glass or ceramic cooktops, as the heavy-duty cast aluminum can scratch the surface or cause heat retention issues.
To preserve the longevity of the non-stick surface, we recommend using silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils. Metal tools can scratch or chip the coating over time.
The pan is best cleaned by hand-washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Because of the non-stick coating, food residue typically releases easily without the need for harsh scrubbing.
No, this pan is made from cast aluminum with a non-stick coating, so it does not require seasoning. You can start cooking on it immediately after a quick initial wash.
No, this product is not oven-safe. It is specifically engineered for stovetop use across two burners.
The pan features a built-in channel around the perimeter of both the grill and griddle sides. This allows fat and juices to collect away from your food, preventing it from sitting in grease while you cook.
