Overview
Belgique Grill Pan Overview
Grill pans bring the look and some of the flavor of outdoor grilling indoors. The ridges sear lines into food while fat drains into the channels. Belgique grill pans often use a nonstick surface, which makes cleanup easier than cast iron.
Getting Good Marks
Preheat on medium, oil the food rather than the pan, press lightly and do not move the food until it releases. Rotate 45 degrees for crosshatch marks.
