Why a Cast Iron Skillet is the Ultimate BBQ Pan
Love to cook outside? Turn up the heat and expand your recipe repertoire with the ultimate pan to cook almost anything on the barbecue.
1. Even & Efficient
Cast iron is excellent at retaining high heat for long periods. A cast iron skillet will absorb and distribute heat more effectively and evenly than cooking directly on the grill. You’ll get consistent temperatures for perfectly cooked results with delicious char.
2. Versatile
Skillets can be used for a wide range of techniques, for more opportunities than cooking directly on the grill. Use yours as you would on an indoor hob to sauté, fry, bake, smoke and sear. Cook food in oils, spices and sauces. You’ll diversify your culinary creations.
3. Flavour & Texture
The high heat of cast iron cookware promotes caramelisation and Maillard reactions, for deeper flavour profiles and enhanced taste experiences. It also enables meat and vegetables to cook within their juices (that would be lost through the grill), for meltingly moist results.
4. Easy to Clean
With a natural non-stick coating that only improves over time, your barbecue experience is made easier when cooking and cleaning. Forget scrubbing the grill and simply clean a single pan.
5. Nutritional Benefits
Cooking with cast iron can increase the iron content of your food. This is especially true when cooking acidic foods like tomatoes, which can leach small amounts of iron from the skillet into the food.
A cast iron skillet will enhance your cooking performance, versatility, and flavours on the barbecue. It’s the ultimate addition to your outdoor kitchen this summer and beyond.
