The deep round grill pan gives all the delicious flavor of an outdoor grill, with all the convenience of indoor cooking. Closely spaced ridges provide more support for delicate food, like fish or vegetables, while allowing excess fat and grease to drain. The interior surface of them is finished with a matte black enamel that eliminates the need for the traditional seasoning and maintenance of raw cast iron. Specially formulated for high surface temperature cooking, the enamel develops a natural patina over time that is ideal for searing. Le Creuset enameled cast iron cookware is beloved for its perfect design and exceptional heat retention that produces superior results from stove to oven to table. Designed for generations of durability, the porcelain enamel requires no seasoning, minimizes sticking, and is dishwasher-safe.
