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 10-1/4-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.

From savory vegetables to mouthwatering steak, chicken and shrimp, the square Skillet Grill gives all the delicious flavor of an outdoor grill, then presents foods beautifully at the table. High ridges allow excess fat and grease to drain, and spouts on two sides allow for drip-free pours.
The square Skillet Grill is available in a wide range of exterior colors, and its interior is coated with Le Creuset's protective satin black finish to prevent damage and wear. Over time, this slightly abrasive interior develops a natural patina that is ideal for searing and frying.
