Cast iron grill frying pan Vilde 28 cm with silicone handle cover, model 199045

Cast iron grill frying pan Vilde 28 cm with silicone handle cover, model 199045 is a heavy-duty grill pan designed for stovetop and oven use. Made from solid cast iron, the pan provides stable, even heat distribution and strong heat retention for consistent searing and grilling. Raised ridges create defined grill marks while allowing fats to drain away from food. The included removable silicone handle cover protects hands from high temperatures and improves grip when moving the pan.

Advantages

The cast iron construction ensures durable performance and excellent heat retention for uniform cooking. Grill ridges enable authentic sear marks and promote faster browning, while the pan’s thickness maintains stable temperature under both high and low heat. The removable silicone handle cover provides heat insulation and a safer handling option without altering cooking characteristics. Compatible with various heat sources, the pan is suitable for direct stove-top searing and finishing in the oven.

Suitable for

• Pan-searing steaks, chops and burgers
• Grilling vegetables and fruit for roasted texture and char
• Toasting bread, sandwiches and flatbreads with grill marks
• Oven finishing after stovetop searing for even doneness
• Indoor and outdoor cooking on gas, electric and ceramic hobs

Key specifications

• Material: cast iron for high thermal mass and durability
• Diameter: 28 cm cooking surface
• Cooking surface: raised grill ridges for sear lines
• Handle: long integrated cast iron handle with removable silicone cover for heat protection
• Suitable heat sources: stovetop (gas, electric, ceramic), oven
• Finish: seasoned or pre-treated cast iron surface for improved release and corrosion resistance

How to use

Preheat the cast iron grill pan on medium to medium-high heat before adding food to ensure even searing. Lightly oil the food or pan to reduce sticking and to promote browning along the ridges. For best results with thicker cuts, sear on the stovetop, then transfer the pan to a preheated oven to complete cooking. Use the removable silicone handle cover when lifting or moving the hot pan; remove the cover before placing the pan directly over open flames if specified unsafe by the manufacturer.

Usage recommendations

Dry and lightly oil food to reduce sticking, avoid sudden temperature shocks to prevent thermal stress, and clean the pan by hand with warm water and a brush. Re-season periodically to maintain the protective surface and prevent rust. Store in a dry place and keep the silicone handle cover away from direct high heat when not intended for use.
