Grill pans and plates

Grilling is becoming more and more popular – and for good reason. It’s one of the healthiest ways to cook, because with a good grill pan you don’t need much oil or butter to create delicious meals full of flavour.

The best grill pan for perfectly grilled dishes
A grill pan is an essential kitchen tool for anyone who loves grilled vegetables, juicy steaks, tender chicken or perfectly cooked fish. The raised ridges create those signature grill marks and give your food that delicious grilled flavour. Because the pan quickly sears the surface of the food, juices are locked in for a tender and flavourful result.

The ridges also allow excess fat and moisture to drain away from the food while cooking. This makes grilling in a pan a healthier option and helps create a beautifully crisp, caramelised exterior.

A high-quality grill pan is a great addition to any kitchen, combining convenience, flavour and healthier cooking in one. As mentioned above, you often don’t need any oil or butter at all. If you do want to use a little oil or butter, we recommend brushing it onto the food itself before placing it in the pan. This helps prevent the oil from burning in the hot pan before cooking even begins.
Buying a grill pan: what should you look for?
Not every grill pan is the same, and not every grill pan is suitable for every kitchen. If you’re planning to buy a new grill pan, there are a few important things to keep in mind. We’ve listed the key points for you below:

Material: choosing the right material is especially important when it comes to grill pans, as they need to reach high temperatures. Most grill pans are made from materials such as cast iron, cast aluminium or stainless steel. Each material has its own advantages. Cast iron and stainless steel are excellent at retaining heat, are highly durable and require little maintenance. Cast aluminium is lighter in weight and heats up quickly and evenly.
Heat source: before buying a grill pan, always check whether it is suitable for your hob. Most grill pans can be used on gas and electric cooktops, but not all are compatible with induction. Be sure to check the product specifications carefully before making your choice.
Coating: would you prefer a grill pan with or without a non-stick coating? Or perhaps one with a ceramic non-stick coating? A grill pan without coating can develop a natural patina over time, while ceramic coatings are often chosen for their PFAS-free properties.
Size: the right size depends on your cooking habits and household size. For a family of four, we recommend a grill pan of around 26 to 30 cm, so you have enough space to cook larger portions comfortably.
Brands: at Koken en Wonen, you’ll find only the very best grill pan brands. Our collection includes trusted names such as Demeyere, Habonne and Staub, so you can always count on quality, durability and excellent cooking performance.
