Product Information

Full details

The Salter Chester 26cm Cast Iron Griddle Pan is an ideal addition for home cooks who prioritize durability and authentic searing capabilities in their kitchen. It excels at delivering even heat distribution for meats, fish, and vegetables, providing professional-looking grill marks while allowing excess fat to drain away. While its heavy-duty cast iron construction ensures long-lasting performance, users should note that the pan requires manual cleaning to preserve the high-quality enamel finish and is significantly heavier than aluminum alternatives.

FAQs

Is this pan dishwasher safe?

No, this griddle pan must be hand washed to protect the integrity of the cream enamel coating.

Can I use this on an induction hob?

Yes, the Salter Chester Griddle Pan is fully compatible with induction hobs.

What is the maximum oven temperature?

The pan is safe to use in the oven at temperatures up to 240 degrees Celsius.

Does it require seasoning like traditional raw cast iron?

No, this pan features an enamel coating, so it does not require the traditional seasoning process.

Are metal utensils safe to use?

It is recommended to use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils to avoid scratching the enamel finish.

What is the weight of the pan?

As it is made of solid cast iron, it has a substantial weight which contributes to its superior heat retention properties.

Troubleshooting

Food is sticking to the ridges

Ensure the pan is fully preheated before adding food and use a small amount of oil or cooking spray on the ridges.

Pan is taking too long to heat up

Cast iron has a high thermal mass; while it takes longer to heat than thin aluminum, it will hold that heat much longer, so be patient during the preheat phase.

Visible residue on the surface after cooking

Soak the pan in warm, soapy water for 15 minutes, then gently scrub with a non-abrasive sponge or nylon brush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat retention for even searing
  • Versatile stovetop-to-oven functionality
  • Ridged surface creates authentic grill marks
  • PFAS-free enamel coating for safer cooking
  • Attractive cream finish suitable for table serving

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before first use, wash the pan with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge to remove any residue from transit. While the pan is durable, avoid using metal utensils that could scratch the enamel coating; silicone or wooden tools are highly recommended. When cooking, use a low to medium heat setting, as cast iron retains heat efficiently and does not require high power levels to function optimally. After cooking, allow the pan to cool completely before washing. Always wash by hand, as dishwashers can compromise the integrity of the enamel. Ensure the pan is thoroughly dried before storing it to prevent any surface oxidation.
