FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What types of grill pans and griddles do you offer?

Our range covers single-burner pans in various sizes as well as double-burner griddle plates that span two hobs for higher-volume cooking. We carry options suited to professional kitchen service as well as quality picks for serious home cooks who want reliable, long-lasting cookware.

What is the difference between a grill pan and a griddle pan?

A grill pan features raised ridges across the cooking surface, which lift food away from the base and create the characteristic sear marks associated with grilling. A griddle pan has a flat, smooth surface suited to cooking foods that benefit from full contact with the pan - such as bacon, eggs, pancakes, and flatbreads. Some griddle plates are reversible, with a ridged grill surface on one side and a flat griddle surface on the other, offering versatility in a single piece of cookware.

What is the best grill pan for an induction cooktop?

For induction cooktops, you need a grill pan made from a magnetic material - cast iron and certain grades of stainless steel are both induction-compatible. Cast iron grill pans are particularly well suited to induction because they retain heat effectively once brought up to temperature, which helps maintain consistent searing even when cold food is added to the pan. When selecting a grill pan for induction, check that the product is specifically listed as induction-compatible, as not all stainless steel or aluminium cookware will work on induction surfaces.
