How to clean your Cast Iron grill pan
When properly cleaned and maintained, your Le Creuset grill pan will last for a lifetime. So, how do you take care of your Enamelled Cast Iron grill pans and griddles? Should you wash them with dish soap? Do they need seasoning with oil? How do you safely store a grill? Read on for answers to these questions and more.
Steps to clean your grill
Unlike raw cast iron, our grills feature a black satin enamel interior that is easy to clean. This enamel requires no pre-seasoning – so your grill is conveniently ready to use straight out of the box. It will also develop a patina (brownish-black film) over time that should not be scrubbed off, as it enhances flavour and assists with food release. Simply follow the steps below to keep your grill clean.
Before First Use
Remove all labels and packaging from the grill.
Washing Your Grill
Handwash with warm, soapy water and a Grill Brush.
Keep it dry
Dry the grill thoroughly after each wash.
Safely stored
Use our felt Pan Protector to store your grill.
