Griddles
A griddle is an incredibly versatile cooking surface that provides uniform heat, making it ideal for cooking breakfast favourites like pancakes, eggs, and bacon. Its flat, smooth surface allows for even cooking, ensuring that your meals are browned to perfection without the risk of burning. Whether you're whipping up a Sunday brunch or a quick weekday meal, a griddle pan is your go-to for achieving delicious results with minimal fuss.

Grill Pans
Add a touch of gourmet flair to your meals with a grill pan. Known for its distinctive ridged surface, a grill pan replicates the outdoor grilling experience indoors, complete with those appetizing grill marks we all love. Perfect for searing meats, vegetables, and even fruits, grill pans allow excess fats to drain away, promoting healthier cooking without sacrificing flavour. With Baccarat's range of grill pans, enjoy restaurant-quality meals right from your kitchen.

FAQs
What is the difference between a griddle and a grill pan?
Griddles have a flat surface, ideal for cooking at even temperatures, while grill pans have raised ridges that mimic outdoor grilling, allowing fats to drain away for healthier cooking.

Can I use a griddle on an induction cooktop?
Yes, many griddles available today, including those from Baccarat, are compatible with induction cooktops, offering the benefits of efficient, consistent heat distribution.

What's the best way to clean a grill pan?
After cooling, soak your grill pan in warm soapy water. Use a soft brush to remove food particles from the ridges, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh abrasives to protect the surface.

Are non-stick griddles better than cast iron?
It depends on your cooking needs. Non-stick griddles are easier to clean and require less oil, while cast iron griddles excel in heat retention and impart a unique flavour to food.

How do I prevent food from sticking to my grill pan?
Ensure the pan is preheated before adding food and lightly oil both the pan and the food. This helps create a non-stick effect and enhances flavour.

Can I use a grill pan in the oven?
Most grill pans are oven-safe, but always check the manufacturer's guidelines for temperature limits to avoid damaging the pan.

Is there a specific type of oil recommended for griddles?
High-smoke point oils like canola, avocado, or grapeseed oil are ideal for griddles as they withstand higher cooking temperatures without burning.

How do I season a cast iron grill pan?
Coat the pan with a thin layer of vegetable oil and bake it upside down in an oven at 375°F for an hour. This process creates a natural non-stick surface over time.

Can vegetarian dishes be cooked on grill pans?
Absolutely! Grill pans are perfect for adding char and flavour to vegetables, plant-based proteins, and even fruits like peaches and pineapple.

Are Baccarat griddle and grill pans dishwasher safe?
While some Baccarat pans may be labelled dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to extend the life of the non-stick coating and overall quality.
