There has been some criticism re why the Le Creuset `Grill Range' is NOT of the `non-stick' variety.

As one would expect of `Le Creuset`, the Company listened to the critics and answered, and it seems appropriate to copy it here:-

Why do Le Creuset grills not have a non-stick cooking surface?

Because it isn't necessary. A black vitreous enamel surface can offer all the advantages of a non-stick surface but will not damage, peel or deteriorate during high temperature grilling.
No non-stick surface can withstand the repeated high surface temperatures that grilling requires. Therefore a non-stick surface will deteriorate quickly and peel off.
Additionally, a non-stick surface will not produce the same seared finish to the food. Cooked food colours are usually paler and the food often has less flavour as a result.

And that really does say it all!

It is basically a different sort of cooking, but, like everything else, once mastered never forgotten!

Also available in a 26 cm round version, in a variety of colours - some at great prices at Amazon, today!
