De Buyer Iron Grill Pan with Handles 38x26cm

The De Buyer iron grill with handles is a rectangular carbon steel grill plate designed for direct-heat cooking on professional ranges and solid tops. It sits across one or two burners, creating a ridged grilling surface that marks and chars food without the need for added fats. Made in France from 2.5–3mm carbon steel, it is a straightforward, hardworking piece of cookware built to the standards expected of commercial kitchens.

In a busy kitchen environment, carbon steel cookware earns its place through durability and heat response. The material heats quickly, retains warmth well during service, and develops a natural seasoning over time that improves with use. At just under 2.5kg, the pan is substantial enough to hold temperature when cold proteins are placed on it, which matters during a busy grill service. The handles allow safe repositioning on the range without the need for a cloth or separate tool.

Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Compatible with all heat sources, including induction hobs
• Ridged surface channels excess fats away from food during cooking
• Natural seasoning builds with use, reducing food adhesion over time
• Handles allow repositioning safely during service without additional tools
• No non-stick coating to degrade or replace over time

Carbon steel cookware does require ongoing seasoning and care — it is not suitable for prolonged exposure to moisture or dishwasher cleaning. New pans should be seasoned before first use following De Buyer's guidance, and dried thoroughly after washing. This is standard practice for iron and carbon steel cookware and is not a limitation unique to this product.

This grill plate is well suited to small to medium professional kitchens, café operations, and brigade-style kitchens where quality grilled presentation matters. It is a practical choice for fish, shellfish, vegetables and lighter cuts of meat. For operations running high-volume grill output across extended services, a heavier or larger format grill plate may better match the throughput required.
