Product Description

Produced in France, and crafted from a cast-iron base, this rectangular pan is coated on both sides with slightly textured black enamel. Over time, it will develop a fine stick-resistant surface. Oil the pan before use, heat slowly, and maintain moderate temperatures for best results. Use the griddle side for pancakes, French toast, or sandwiches, all of which emerge crisp and golden brown. The grill side's rounded grilling grids, set close together at an angle, produce excellent grill marks. Both sides cook food rapidly and evenly.Please note this item is not recommended for Ceramic/Glass stovetops.

Amazon.com Review
The versatile Le Creuset Grill is a reversible cooking pan for making grill marks on fresh salmon filets or griddling up a batch of burgers. It's enameled cast iron holds the heat over any cooking source and distributes it evenly from one end of the grill to the other--the cast iron is made using traditional foundry techniques and Le Creuset's well-known workmanship. The pan is coated with satin black enamel to avoid odor absorption, so this morning's French toast won't taste like last night's fajitas. The slim grill slides away for storage and is dishwasher-safe. --Lynne Sampson

Makes breakfast a snap!
I got this for my husband for Christmas and we made a huge breakfast complete with french toast and bacon from this griddle. It lays nicely on the stove and cooks great. Our only complaints were that it didn't come with a shred of directions on how to season it or clean it or anything, and it was a bit pricey!

Great Grill/Griddle
This is a very good grill. It heats and holds heat very well, and does a pretty good job of heating evenly, although there are "hot spots" on the grill in between the 2 burners.

A tip from my wife for cleaning is to put a damp paper towel over the grill when you finish cooking, and after it has cooled a little and letting it set. It makes clean-up a lot easier.

Fabulous Giant Grill/Griddle
I have used the grill side several times since purchasing it and am VERY pleased. It is a little pricey but it also has a coating that a Lodge or other cast iron grill/griddles don't have.I also believe the grill marks are superior to other grills. Tough to fit into the budget but I think it was worth it! First of all, for those people that are getting rust spots after washing, you must dry your griddle by reheating it until any excess water evaporates. I then rub a light coat of oil into the pan when it's still slightly warm. If you have the rust spots just wash the grill with a brush and follow the drying and oiling process I explained above. You should quickly build a nice patina to your grill. It should only take a few times of doing this because of the enamel type coating. BEFORE using this grill I washed it in VERY hot tap water with a brush to remove any coating that was put on at the time of manufacturing. This should also help with sticking food. I have also coated the pan heavily with oil the first few uses. I've grilled delicate fish and shrimp with no sticking. After it becomes somewhat coated you can build on this by just wiping it with a damp cloth and drying on the burner. At this point any sticking should be minimal. Don't use anything abrasive. Good luck and I hope this helps.
