How to Clean a Le Creuset Grill Pan

Le Creuset grill pans are made of cast iron and have an enamel coating. These grill pans are designed to last a lifetime. They are handy when you want that grilled look and flavor, but can't get outside to use the grill. To keep your Le Creuset grill pan looking its best, you need to clean it after each use.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Dish soap
• Water
• Scrub sponge
• Towel

1. Empty your grill pan of any left over food or grease.

2. Fill your dish pan up with hot water and 1 tbsp. of dish soap. Any type of dish soap will do, but if your pan is greasy, use a dish soap with a degreaser.

3. Place the Le Creuset grill pan in the dish water and let it soak for 10 minutes if it has any stuck on food or burnt pieces. By soaking the pan you, will be softening the food so that it comes off with little effort.

4. Use a wash cloth or a scrubber sponge to wipe the pan clean. The scrubber sponge has a green back side that will safely remove the stuck on food without scratching the enamel coating.

5. Rinse the pan clean with hot water.

6. Dry the pan with a dish towel and put away.

Tips & Warnings

• The grill pan's handle will become hot. Use a pot holder when you need to hold it. The Le Creuset grill pan is heavy. If you have arthritis or can't lift much, this pan is not for you.
