John LewisCast Iron Rectangular Grill, 46cm

Multi-use pan made of cast iron for even cooking and browning and to retain heat for oven-to-table serving. Use this robust grill pan on the hob, in the oven and even on the barbecue.

The pan's interior creates a natural patina over time, behaving like a non-stick surface. Clean the pan with just water to allow the patina to develop. And there's no PFOA, no PTFE with this toxin-free pan. A solid, traditional design that's stood the test of time.

Metal handles
Metal pan handles heat up when cooking so be careful when lifting pans and touching handles. Please use an oven glove, mitt or pot holder when handling hot pans.

Getting the most from your induction pans
All of our John Lewis induction pans are tested to British and European standards for safety and performance. To ensure the functionality of induction pans, it is important to make sure the magnetic circuit with the hob isn't broken by:

• Making sure the size of the pan base is no smaller than the hob 'ring'
• Using pans with a flat base
• Not lifting the pan off the hob top continuously
• Giving coated and aluminium pans with steel bases more time to heat, as the aluminium sides do not heat directly from the hob

Seasoning your cast iron pan

1. Heat your pan over a high heat, holding the handle, turning and tilting it up to the rim and back, until the metal turns a dark grey/blue colour all around.
2. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool down.
3. Dip a thick pad of kitchen towel into 1 ½ tsp of vegetable oil.
4. Spread the oil so the whole inside surface is covered in a thin film of oil. Take precautions such as protective gloves, kitchen tongs or chopsticks when coating with oil as the surface will be hot.
5. Turn on your cooker hood extractor. Return the pan to a medium to low heat for about ten minutes until it starts to smoke.
6. Once all the smoke disappears and the pan is dark grey or black in colour, it's ready to use.
7. To preserve the pan, hand wash it in warm soapy water once it has cooled completely. Dry immediately and thoroughly to prevent rusting.
