Staub Round Cast Iron Pure Grill Pan 26cm Cherry Red

This great little pan enlivens frying by creating stylish grill marks while providing channels of space between searing points to achieve beautifully cooked, juicy meats and veggies. This pan is solid but not annoyingly heavy like other cast iron beasts. It is a convenient way to grill without going out in the freezing cold weather, dealing with BBQ’s and their covers! So happy to have purchased this grill pan from Cook Culture!

I have been eyeing this griddle for a while and actually tried to order it from sur la table. What a disappointment that attempt was! As soon as I saw it on wayfair website I ordered it. Easy ordering, fast shipping, nicely packed. About the griddle, it is heavy so careful handling above a glass cooktop. Gotta spray well and wait for it to get hot. I usually don't quite dry the meat, but this time since the instructions said to not have it too wet, i pattes it with paper towel..I think that actually was not a good idea because I think it would have stuck lesa if a little mositure would have gotten the chance to evaporate slowly. The chicken breast was grilled nice and tender, with grill marks.

The chicken breast was grilled nice and tender, with grill marks. To clean it i left in the sink with hot water with a little detergent to soak well and then washed it with the regular kitchen sponge. Fairly easy. I usually don't like to put the pans in the dishwasher although the care instructions say that it's ok to do so. So far so good, I am pleased.

FINALLY

Wonderful pan! No pre-seasoning nonsense. As instructed in the care booklet, took it out of the package, rinsed the pan well. Dried with a paper towel and allowed to air dry a couple of hours. Used a touch of oil before grilling steakburgers the day I received the grill pan. Great results. Cooked beautifully. Allowed pan to cool, then soaked with warm water and a bit of dish soap for a few minutes. Clean up was much easier than regular cast iron. So glad I finally bought Staub!

Game Changer!

I'll admit, I took a change and purchased because it was on sale, but I am so glad I did! I cook a lot of steaks and while I've been using a cast iron skillet, I prefer this much better! Cooks my steaks evenly and the grill is so easy to clean! Also, I think because the grill has raised lines, it reduces the amount of smoke that comes with cooking a steak stovetop on a traditional cast iron skillet. I absolutely love this little grill!

It's it time to changed how you grill indoors?

This pan would have had to have been returned if I didn't have the perfect lid already to seal it during cooking. The sides are very shallow and splatters would take too much time to clean up. Read the directions THROUGHLY on how to heat, prep, cool down, and clean this pan and you'll absolutely love it. I made a Moroccan blackened seared duck breasts for my guests over Memorial weekend and it was absolute perfection for the entrée meal. This has been a dream come true to finally own this pan and it didn't let me down for one second. It is s everything you think it is and more, so please have this pan as a part of your cooking staples if you take grilling indoors seriously. Just remember to respect the cast iron and ANY food will come off with very little effort.

I took this pan from gas stove top to a 400° over to create the ultimate medium-pink duck color effortlessly! It's all in how you prep the pan. My very best to all the fellow chefs and Gourmet Foodies you will not ever disappointed with this wonderful pan. Thank you Zwilling for offering a special so I can finally feel like I have "arrived" in the indoor grilling area. Step aside George Foreman let the French show you how it's done!

Met my expectations but wish it weren't red

I've tried this grill out with a steak and pork neck fillets on induction and gas stove top. Food came out as expected. Whilst I do have a lodge cast iron which would've done the job, I wanted a griddle type pan and felt a bit fancy so splurged on a Staub instead of getting another lodge. The griddle does make a difference, food comes out looking nicer and isn't sitting in a pool of oil. The easiest way to clean this is by boiling water, adding baking soda and allowing it to simmer for 5 minutes or so (just watch that the water doesn't splatter all over the stove top). Rinse it off with a scrub and see all the gunk fall off the pan. I do not season this at all after washing, you would need to with a traditional cast iron.

Perfect. Use it all the time

This is perfect and I am now using it all of the time. It cleans easily (I saw some at the demo kitchen in a chain store and they looked pretty bad...I think they are not cleaning them well, then everything sticks on.) I either have my food items coated lightly in oil (avocado or olive) or I rub the grill top with oil. Food cooks wonderfully with the grill marks. Cleaning is a breeze. I usually put it in my sink with a little soap and water on it while i put away other items and then it cleans with minimal effort. It is smallish. I can cook 3 hamburger patties on it, 4 filets, 3 salmon filets. If I was regularly cooking for more people, I would go for a larger grill pan, but this one is perfect for my family of three.

Stunning

The cherry red colour is absolutely stunning, it creates a pop of colour for our kitchen! Of course its functions are very useful. The grill texture is also great for grilled vegetables and meat. Beautiful and gets the job done. What more can I ask for? 5/5

beautiful pan

I had wanted a grill pan for a while, so I finally jumped in and bought this one. It arrived in great condition, and was packaged well. The color is beautiful, I am in love! I followed the instructions, but the first time I used it, I got a discolored mark on the bottom of the pan and I cannot get it off. So disappointed! For the price I paid, I could not expect that to happen the first time. Honestly I haven’t used it since because I won’t want that to happen again or to the entire bottom of the pan.
