 An even healthier way to cook - ideal for fast, low-fat grilling of meat, chicken, fish and vegetables ...... March 20, 2007

Le Creuset SQUARE Grill with integral lifting handles, but don't forget your `Le Creuset' Double Oven Gloves!
Ideal for fast, low-fat grilling of meat, chicken, fish and vegetables - the ribbed base gives those characteristic char-lines and flavour.
Le Creuset `Grill' products are completely covered in vitreous enamel, protecting the surface and making them easier to use and clean, by hand, or pop it in the dishwasher.
Sturdy and suitable for all heat sources.'
There has been some criticism re why the Le Creuset `Grill Range' is NOT of the `non-stick' variety.
As one would expect of Le Creuset, the Company responded, and it seems appropriate to copy it here:-
'Why do Le Creuset grills not have a non-stick cooking surface?
Because it isn't necessary. A black vitreous enamel surface can offer all the advantages of a non-stick surface but will not damage, peel or deteriorate during high temperature grilling.
No non-stick surface can withstand the repeated high surface temperatures that grilling requires. Therefore a non-stick surface will deteriorate quickly and peel off.
Additionally, a non-stick surface will not produce the same seared finish to the food. Cooked food colours are usually paler and the food often has less flavour as a result.'
And that really does say it all!
It is basically a different sort of cooking, but, like everything else, once mastered never forgotten!
In a variety of colours, and in a larger 26 cm RECTANGULAR size, or check out the GIANT GRILL, also available at Amazon.
