Because I have reached that age which my kids consider OLD, I have now become true to what they think of me (i.e. boring! teehee!). What other way to welcome and celebrate middle age than my first wishful thinking posts about POTS and PANS!
But these are not any ordinary cookware... these are Le Creuset!

Le Creuset pans are somewhat of a mystery to me. I've never seriously considered buying them even if I've always wanted one because the price tag is kinda scary. But the past few months, I've been doing a lot of wishful thinking about the Le Creuset enamel cast-iron grill pan, enough to make me think that I deserve it. Eeeep!

What I am crushing on is this red enameled cast-iron double-burner-length grill pan. And reading the complete product description makes me love it all the more.
- 15 3/4" x 9" x 1" high.
- Slender grill pan fits over two burners on your stovetop or outdoor grill.
- Cast iron retains high heat for perfect searing.
- High ridges sear food with authentic grill marks, elevating it from fatty drippings.
- Durable, nonreactive black enameled interior requires no seasoning.
- Colorful porcelain-enameled exterior makes the pan handsome enough for table service.
- Extra-wide handles are easy to grasp, even while wearing bulky oven mitts.
- Dishwasher safe.
- Made in France.
I spend a LOT of time in the kitchen cooking, and every time it's steak night and I use my Tefal griller to make batches of steak, my mind keeps going back to Le Creuset's enameled cast-iron grill pan. For everyday cooking I use my SaladMaster pans. But for grilling, I find it more convenient to use a teflon-coated pan. I use the Tefal brand, and I've been through several grill pans already. Somehow even with taking good care of the teflon coating, it seems to rub off through normal wear and tear. The Teflon brand is a good brand already and each replacement sets me back around P3,000.00 to P4,000.00. They say a cast-iron pan is more durable, and can withstand extremely high-temperatures and resists wear and tear that might occur with other types of cookware. What do you think?

Tina, my best friend gifted me with a Le Creuset braiser for my 40th birthday (I know, she is the most awesome best friend ever!) and I swear it is such an awesome pan! I use it all the time because I feel like it just "cooks" better, if that makes any sense. I will never use another pan to cook mushrooms for example because I have never had as perfectly browned mushrooms cook as deliciously (or as fast) as with this pan. Also, I love cooking stovetop to over (sear/brown stuff on the stovetop and then cook slowly in the oven) and it is perfect for that. Aside from the fact you have already mentioned that they are super durable and can be handed down to the next generation (I have friends and relatively who use Le Creuset pots and pans handed down from their parents or grandparents!). Anyway, this are just a few more things you can tell Phenomenal Papa when lobbying for your birthday gift :)
ReplyDeleteI meant "stovetop to oven" :)
