Cast Iron Grid Grande 49 cm — Sourcing — Heavy-duty cooking grid for grills and ovens

Sourcing Cast Iron Grid Grande (49 cm) is a heavy-duty cooking grid designed for use on larger grills and inside oven cavities. Constructed from solid cast iron, the grid delivers even heat distribution and strong heat retention for searing, roasting and slow-cooking. Its 49 cm diameter suits larger domestic and portable grills as well as oven formats where a durable, high-mass cooking surface is needed. The surface promotes pronounced sear marks and improved browning while the robust construction withstands high temperatures and repeated use.

Advantages

The cast iron material ensures consistent heat retention and distribution across the cooking surface, reducing cold spots and supporting uniform cooking results. The heavy-duty construction provides mechanical durability and resistance to warping under high heat. The grid's size and weight help maintain temperature during lid closures and long cooks, and the textured surface enhances browning and crust formation on meats and vegetables. Designed for both grill and oven applications, the grid is a versatile accessory for different cooking methods.

Suitable for

• High-temperature searing of steaks, chops and burgers
• Roasting whole poultry and vegetables in an oven or covered grill
• Slow-cooking and maintaining stable heat for long barbecue sessions
• Outdoor grilling on larger gas, charcoal or pellet grills
• Finishing dishes that require strong contact heat for crust and caramelisation

Key specifications

• Material: cast iron for high thermal mass and durability
• Diameter: 49 cm suitable for larger grill and oven cavities
• Design: solid grid surface for even heat contact and searing
• Compatibility: intended for use on grills and inside ovens with adequate support
• Heat performance: retains and radiates heat for improved browning and stable cooking temperatures

How to use

Before first use, season the cast iron grid by applying a thin layer of high smoke point oil and heating it according to standard cast iron seasoning procedures to create a protective, non-stick surface. Preheat the grid gradually on the grill or in the oven to reach the target cooking temperature; cast iron performs best when heated evenly. Place food directly on the grid for searing or roasting, turning as needed to achieve desired doneness. After use, allow the grid to cool slightly, then clean with a brush or scraper and avoid prolonged soaking. Reapply a light film of oil after cleaning to protect the surface from oxidation.

Usage recommendations

Use this grid on grills and ovens that can safely support its weight and size. Regular seasoning and proper drying after cleaning will prolong service life and maintain non-stick performance. For best results, avoid sudden temperature shocks (such as rinsing a hot grid with cold water) which could stress the material.
