Which grill should you choose?

When selecting a grill, think about your cooking style and needs. How many people do you cook for? What types of ingredients do you like to cook? Our Cast Iron grill range creates perfect caramelisation for deep flavour while our Toughened Non-Stick range is lightweight and ideal for delicate ingredients such as fish, along with easy cleanup. Neither range requires seasoning before use and is ready to cook with straight out of the box.
 

Three reasons you need a Le Creuset grill

  • 1. Recreate delicious outdoor BBQ flavours on the hob – our grills seal food quickly and lock in all-important moisture and flavour.

  • 2. The Cast Iron enamel interior develops a natural patina (brownish-black film) over time that assists with adding flavour to food and easy food release.

  • 3. Our grills come with a limited lifetime warranty for peace of mind.
