Le Creuset Signature Cast Iron Deep Square Grill 30cm Cerise

Create delicious, healthy dishes with Le Creuset cast iron deep square grill.

This extra deep grill pan cooks large pieces of meat, poultry and vegetables quickly and evenly, separating your food from its fat while the deeper walls minimise cooking splashes and enclose juices when making sauces. And it makes great-looking char lines too. Two handles and pouring lugs make moving and serving effortless.

The Deep Square Grill’s interior is completely coated with Le Creuset’s protective satin black enamelled finish making it very hygienic (no seasoning required) and ensuring there is no flavour transfer the next time you use the pan. Extremely durable, this long-lasting surface withstands high grilling temperatures and will not wear off or peel. Over time, it will develop a natural patina that is ideal for searing and frying. Suitable for use on all heat sources, including induction, and in the oven, the grill is available in various colours to suit all styles of home décor and comes with a reassuring lifetime guarantee.

Le Creuset’s Cast Iron, in its extensive array of signature colours, has been the world’s benchmark of quality and design for close to one century. Everything you stew, braise, roast or bake will taste even better than you can possibly imagine because Le Creuset’s cast-iron distributes and retains heat exceptionally evenly.

The uniform thickness doesn’t only ensure an optimum all-round cooking performance, it also results in the lightest cast iron on the market and ensures faster heat-up times with great heat control and no hot spots.

How to Grill with Le Creuset

Grills may be preheated to reach a hot surface temperature for searing and caramelization. This advice does not apply to any other products. For correct grilling and searing, it is important that the cooking surface is sufficiently hot before cooking begins. Sear lines from ribbed grills will not be produced if the pan surface is too cool, or if the food is too wet. Place the empty pan on medium heat and allow it to heat for several minutes.

Do not add oil to the cold pan—the oil may become too hot and smoke. Take a few drops of water on your fingers and scatter over the hot surface. If they sizzle and evaporate almost immediately it is hot and ready for use. If the water produces steam and has no sizzle, heat the pan a little longer and repeat the water test again. When the surface is hot enough, lightly oil it with cooking spray or brush it with oil using a Le Creuset Silicone Basting Brush.

Vegetable, ground nut or corn oils are recommended. Olive oil may cause excessive smoking. Once a patina covers the cooking surface very little oil will be necessary. For distinct sear lines, leave the food undisturbed on the surface for several minutes. If the food is moved too quickly the lines will be poor, and steam from the food may be released onto the surface. Any food for grilling or searing must be quite dry before it is placed on the hot surface. Wet foods will not achieve good sear lines and may result in a steamed appearance and flavour. Use paper towels to pat off excess moisture from foods. Oil can then be brushed over the food if desired. Foods that have been marinated should also have excess moisture removed with paper towels.
