A great option for small meals or side dishes. The ribs of the pan allow fat to drain from food while also searing tantalizing grill marks onto meats, vegetables, and paninis. It also makes a great serving piece. The grill pan provides excellent heat distribution and retention for consistent, even cooking. Use in the oven, on the stove, on the grill, or over a campfire. Seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil and ready to use. Made in the USA.
