This 23.5cm cast iron griddle pan is a formidable kitchen essential that is renowned for its long-lasting and hardwearing capabilities, and delivers real value for money to your cooking arsenal, as if looked after correctly the pan will last you a lifetime! The cast iron construction of the griddle pan delivers its ultra-durable nature, and the pan itself has the capabilities to not only withstand direct heat, but also redirect that heat around the cooking surface, enabling you to get the perfect sear from the raised ridges on your fish, meats, and vegetables. The cast iron griddle pan also features a non-stick enamel coating that allows for the easy release of food to the plate, which makes it perfect for braising, simmering, broiling, roasting, and baking a wide variety of foods. The griddle pan has been designed to be an ultra-versatile cooking appliance, and this is evident in the fact that it is ovenproof up to 260°C, allowing for a different approach to the way you cook your meals in the pan. This cast iron griddle pan is like all Blackmoor frying pans in the fact that it is suitable to be used on all hob types, such as gas, electric, and induction hobs, as well as on hot plates. The kitchen pan also comes complete with a neatly placed pouring lip that will allow you to easily dispose of any excess fats or liquids that appear during the cooking process, as well as an easy grip handle that makes the manoeuvring of the pan from the hob to the oven extremely simple. Please note that when used in the oven the handle of the griddle pan will become hot, therefore you need to ensure that you remove the pan from the oven using appropriate oven gloves to protect yourself in the process. The stove top griddle pan is easy to clean, and needs to be washed by hand in hot soapy water, both before your first use, and then after every subsequent use thereafter. Please allow the pan to cool before cleaning, as adding cold water or other cool liquids to a hot pan can cause it to crack. This griddle pan comes in a classic black colour, and when coupled with the demure cream coloured inner enamel surface, it is a pan that will be suitable to be used in any style of kitchen, whether it be modern or traditional, without looking out of place.
