Le Creuset's beloved cast iron cookware takes to the great outdoors in the Alpine collection. Specially designed for cooking over open fires, this griddle also stands up to high heat in ovens, under broilers and on grills. The classic cast iron construction retains and distributes heat impeccably, and the matte black enamel resists chips, cracks and scratches. Over time the rugged finish develops a patina that enhances cooking performance. Raised loop handles make it easy to lift the pan off the fire or grill while still fitting easily under hoods and lids. Herringbone ribs assist in cooking tender meats and flaky fish to perfection. Once your meal is seared, grilled or griddled, the square pan cleans up easily in the dishwasher. The Alpine collection makes a must-have gift for campfire cooking enthusiasts.
