By squaring this skillet and flaring its sides, famed French cookware manufacturer Le Creuset offers extra cooking room for steaks, fish, burgers, or any food that benefits from stovetop grilling and the caramelized flavor imparted by seared grill marks. The ribs in the grill's bottom not only provide those marks but also elevate foods so that fat collects between them for low-calorie cooking. Because cast iron is unmatched for heat retention and even distribution--no hot spots--foods will cook uniformly in the 10-inch-square grill. Enameled outside with a bright, smooth surface and inside with a black satin-texture finish, this is a heavy, durable grill that works on any stovetop, in the oven, or under a broiler. It's also stylish enough (think French farmhouse kitchen) to bring to the table. Though it's dishwasher-safe, hand washing preserves a patina that builds up with use and aids in the grill's stick resistance. --Fred Brack

I bought this pan in red a few years ago at great sale somewhere; perhaps Williams-Sonoma or le Creuset Outlet. When I saw it today as a Gold Box lightning deal, I had to speak up. It is perfect for broiling greasier meats with its ridges. I use it often for combination baking/broiling: heat it from the bottom and then broil the top without flipping. Sometimes I start recipe on the stovetop and move to the oven to bake or broil. It comes in a square dimension also. While the cooking surface is enamel, it has a matte finish and cleans fairly easily; just don't confuse with synthetic surfaces, it is still enamel not Teflon.
I have a lot of le Creuset cookware and use them often. I use this piece
a lot.
My favorite pan! November 16, 2002

I've made fajitas, fish fillets, shimp, and chicken breasts in it so far. Everything is wonderful, is just requires a different way of cooking. The searing is amazing with the chicken breasts, then I put them in the oven to finish. The shrimp I did the way I always do, but with this pan everyone raved because it cooked so perfectly. They begged for the recipe, and wouldn't believe I hadn't done anything different other than the new pan.
I intend to get the blue one for my friend as a Christmas gift, she loved it so much!

This is a great grill pan because it leaves perfect thin grill marks and the shape accomodates almost any slice of meat desired. The pan works well to start with grilling, then transfers to the oven for finishing, and straight to the table for a sizzling presentation. Since it is oval shaped, it looks more like a platter than a pan so it is really well suited to serve from.

Burgers and chicken tastes great after cooking it on this pan. Can't use the round grill press though - too big. If you cook meat on the pan until its well-done, you will have to put a bit of water in it to soak before washing. It can be difficult to wash; but, I still like this pan.

This is the first Le Creuset product I have purchased and I am very happy with it. I've used it several times and gotten excellent results, plus I love the grill marks it makes!
There have been some complaints about this pan being hard to clean. The manufacturer warns not to turn the heat too high, brush some oil on the pan after it heats up, and do not move the food too soon after placing it on the grill. I followed these directions and have not had problems. There is food residue stuck to the pan but I use one of those plastic scrapers I had from a George Foreman grill and that gets the gunk off, then I am able to wash the pan and get it clean. I have a George Foreman grill without removable plates and that is a big hassle to clean. This LC pan is easier, in my opinion.
Some have also complained that it takes a long time to warm the pan and so maybe that's why they have problems because they turn the heat up too high to heat it faster. LC says don't do it that way! Just have enough sense to start heating up the pan earlier!
Negatives: the pan is pretty hefty but it's cast iron so what do you expect? If you don't want a heavy pan don't buy a cast iron one.
Positives: it looks beautiful, it is well made and it cooks food very well. This is a keeper.
