3 indoor grilling tips for beginners

Are you craving the seared, juicy results that only grilling brings? Then, a Le Creuset grill is your new best friend. Our range of grills, available in Cast Iron and Toughened Non-Stick, bring the delicious flavours of an outdoor BBQ conveniently indoors so you can enjoy grilled flavours no matter the weather. Read on for our expert tips on how to get the most out of your grill.
 

How to choose the best grill pan

The exact grill pan you choose will depend on the amount, size, and types of foods you want to prepare. All our grills promote even heat distribution for food to cook evenly and are suitable for use on any stovetop including gas and induction. They're ideal for healthier cooking as fat drains away off the high ridges.

The black satin enamel interior of our Cast Iron grills allows for higher surface temperature cooking, delicious caramelization, and develops a patina (blackish-brown film from food oils) over time that enhances cooking performance. Learn more about the differences between sand and black satin enamel on our Cast Iron here. If you’re looking for a grill that is versatile, easy to use, and easy to clean, then try our Non-Stick Square Griddle pan.

No matter what grill pan you choose, though, once you have one in your kitchen, you’ll put grilling on the menu year-round.
