The Le Creuset 10-1/4-Inch Square Skillet Grill in Cassis Purple enameled cast iron is a perfect miniature barbeque. Its black enamel cooking surface is equipped with cross hatch grill marks, to fool even yourself that whatever you cook on it is straight off the outside barbeque. Le Creuset enameled cast iron cookware can be used on the stovetop, in the oven and under the grill. Le Creuset cast iron cookware is suitable for use on all heat sources including electric, gas, ceramic, halogen top and induction. All Le Creuset enameled cast iron cookware is coated with the highest quality vitreous enamel. This hygienic, impermeable enameled surface means Le Creuset can be used for marinating food prior to cooking or for food storage after cooking. Since 1925, the skilled French craftsmen at Le Creuset have perfected enameled cast iron cookware at their factory in Fresnoy Le Grand France. Each shape is one of a kind, made from molten steel and cast in a unique mold, and then expertly enameled. No other procedure yields cookware that so evenly distributes heat, browns and caramelizes food to perfection, and creates a masterpiece at the table. Warranted for the lifetime of the original owner. Made in France.
