Healthy eating When people say healthy eating to me, I generally think of lettuce and not much of it! Using a grillet is a healthy option because you need very little oil or fat, so the food you cook, whether you choose vegetables, meat or fish, will not only be healthier than other cooking methods, but will look fabulous too!
Distributes heat evenly
Heat your empty grillit slowly and the cast iron will distribute the heat evenly, preventing hot spots (which can cause the food to stick and burn).
Spout to pour away excess fat
One of the secrets to successfully using a grillet is to put the oil on your food, not in the pan. This will stop you from using too much, but just in case you over do it, each grillet has a "spout" to easily pour away any excess.
Retains heat very well
The cast iron retains heat really well, so once you've heated your pan you'll only need to use medium temperature settings to keep it at the perfect temperature.
All heat sources
You can use this grillet on all heat sources including induction, halogen, ceramic, gas, electric, solid plate, aga or rayburn so no matter what hob you use, it'll work fine.
Oven Proof
Beause the handles of Le Creuset grills and grillits are made of cast iron, they're even oven proof ... but please remember to use an oven glove! as they will get hot and stay hot!
What is the perfect temperature?
The other secret is the temperature. You need your grillet hot enough to sear the food, to give it those chargrilled lines, but you don't want it too hot as your food will stick... so how do you know what the perfect temperature is? Well, practice is the real answer, but as a guide, if the pan is smoking it's too hot and you'll need to take it off the heat to cool a little. To check if it's hot enough, put a drop of water into the pan ... if it "spits" it's hot enough, if it just sits there looking like a puddle, keep heating slowly ...

And for pudding, how about an Apple Tart, cooked to perfection in a co-ordinating, Tart Tatin ... it's making my mouth water just thinking about it!
