Le Creuset Grill Pan Review

So I love BBQ.

I love eating BBQ.

It's something my dad did regularly (it was his thing), even in the winter time when it was pouring down rain... And even when it snowed.

My dad would be outside with a rain poncho... BBQ'ing.
Yes our neighbors did think he was crazy.
And he didn't care.

He even liked to BBQ during the holidays.

Guess what we had for Thanksgiving?

BBQ'ed turkey.

Guess what we had for Christmas?

BBQ'ed turkey.

Guess what we ate when I would visit him?

BBQ'd ribs, chicken, shrimp, steak...You name it, it was on the grill.

And that man could make a mean ol' spicey BBQ sauce or marinade just as well.
It was and still is the best BBQ sauce to my recollection.

I still hope that one day I can make a sauce half as good as his was.

So, while I miss him and his amazing BBQ skills and I wish I could have BBQ everyday...
Yeah, no. That won't be happening for the time being.
I live in an apartment with a small balcony and it isn't an option to char my food unless I go to the park. And believe me when I say that I don't want to mess with my crazy Dutch neighbors.

So, I'll finish my point...

Problem solved because I now have the coolest grill pan on the planet:

The Le Creuset Grill Pan in Almond. 

It's so heavy.

And so pretty.

And I love it.

And I will call it mine forever.

Dear Le Creuset, if you ever read my blog, please know that I love you!

It's perfect for getting a good char on chicken, steak and veggies.

Yum!

And the best part is that the flavor is there. That smokey, burnt flavor is there.

And fat from meat melts and drips to the bottom of the pan. Just like it would with an outdoor grill.

And it's non-stick. I just leave the meat on the pan, when it's ready to be flipped it will naturally release. Very nice.

The neatest thing is that it's a cast iron pan but a low maintenance cast iron pan.

That's right! I don't have to season this one or wash it with salt scrub and coat it with bacon fat before storing it away.

All I need to do is wash it with a soft cloth, dish soap and put it on the shelf. I do coat it with a little oil just because somehow that seems like the right thing to do.

I have a designated dish cloth just for drying it since no matter how much I clean it it will always have a little char that rubs off on my dish towels. So it has it's very own designated dish towel.

So, I love it and recommend it to anyone that needs an indoor grill.
