The essential pan for every kitchen is a grill pan. A grill pan has ridges across the bottom and is used to grill foods on the stove-top instead of on an outdoor gas or charcoal grill. The ridges sear lovely lines into food making it especially appetizing. Grill pans can be square, round or oval-shaped. They are available in non-stick, stainless steel, enamel, and cast iron. Price will vary depending on the make and size; however, an average-sized no-frills grill pan can be purchased for around $30-$60.
Grill pans are very easy to use. They heat up quickly and are ready to go with a quick squirt of olive oil spray. They eliminate the need to use heavy cooking fats, therefore reducing the overall number of calories in your meal.
A grill pan is an extremely useful and beneficial tool when it comes to cooking easy and healthy weeknight meals.
Use a grill pan for:
• seafood like scallops, salmon, swordfish, or white fish
• vegetables like sliced eggplant, zucchini, asparagus spears, or even corn on the cob
• meats like flank steak, chicken breasts, or homemade turkey burgers
• skewered vegetable kebabs
• old-fashioned grilled cheese sandwiches or fancy paninis
• quesadillas filled with cooked vegetables or chicken
• fruit like halved peaches, pears, or nectarines
• toasting buns or rolls
• reheating leftover pizza slices
Once you begin using a grill pan you will find so many uses for it you will wonder what you ever did before you had it!
I’d like to hear your favorite or most innovative way of using your grill pan.
