The Le Creuset Signature Volcanic Cast Iron 26cm Grillit is a healthy and professional way to sear and fry meat, fish and vegetables. One of the benefits of cooking with cast iron is that you can achieve a high cooking temperature using just a low to medium heat setting. This enables you to seal food quickly, locking in all the flavours, moisture, and nutrients, resulting in tasty and succulent meals. It's also a healthy way of cooking too. The fat rendered when cooking drains and collects below the ribbed cooking surface. These ribs provide the professional looking sear lines by caramelising food that touches them. The cast iron Grillit is coated with Le Creuset's satin black enamel finish which is both durable and easy to clean. Ideal for searing meat, vegetables and fish, the natural patina that develops over time enhances the pan's searing and frying capabilities. Other useful features of the Le Creuset Grillit include an extra-large helper handle for stability and ease of use when lifting a full pan and spouts on two sides for easy, non-drip pouring. The Le Creuset Signature 26cm Grillit is suitable for all hob types including induction. It can also be used in the oven, under the grill and even on the barbecue! The Le Creuset Signature Volcanic Cast Iron 26cm Grillit is dishwasher safe, although we would recommend washing by hand. For your peace of mind the Le Creuset Signature Volcanic Cast Iron 26cm Grillit comes with a Le Creuset Lifetime Guarantee.
