20cm cast iron skillet

A grill pan is particularly prized for its ability to replicate the flavors and textures of outdoor grilling. With its ridged surface, a grill pan allows fat to drain away from the food while creating those coveted grill marks that not only enhance the presentation but also add a delightful charred flavor. You can use it to prepare a wide array of dishes, from succulent steaks to perfectly grilled vegetables. The versatility of a red grill pan means it is equally at home on the stovetop or in the oven, opening up numerous cooking possibilities.

This reaction is pivotal in transforming a simple beef patty into a gourmet experience.
