On a grill pan - 27 cooking recipes

The most important advantage of a grill pan, which is why all housewives buy it, is the presence of convex stripes on the bottom. Thanks to them, the cooking technology can be said to be “healthier”. All the oil that is used in the process will remain at the bottom. And the dish will not absorb anything unnecessary. It turns out that the harmful carcinogens released by the oil during frying will not get into it.

It is very difficult to burn anything on a grill pan. All the liquid released during the cooking process flows into the grooves and evaporates from there.

Due to the fact that the food does not come into direct contact with the entire surface of the cookware, much less fat is required for frying. Many people don't use them at all.

Like any other frying pan, this one can not only fry, but also bake, and even stew if you really want to. The second advantage of this cookware is its thickness, thanks to which the temperature is well maintained and the dish cooks evenly and quickly. Due to the presence of voids between the product and the hot metal, the meat (if we cook it) is perfectly cooked inside. This is facilitated by the steam emanating from the oil and juices secreted by the meat.

What can you cook on a grill pan? Anything! Starting with the already mentioned meat, ending with fish, vegetables, mushrooms.

When choosing your frying pan, you need to keep in mind that they can be very different: high and low, of different diameters, with and without a lid, double and single, with clip-on and cast handles, square and round, with straight and inclined walls, with a spout for draining excess oil and without it, with non-stick and regular coating, electric, simple, gas. Recently, special frying pans have appeared, with a separate grate.

Therefore, first you need to decide which recipes for a grill pan are most interesting to you. And only then choose your own dishes, if you don’t already have them.
