Is the Staub Pure Grill worth it?

It is worth it if you want indoor grill marks and induction compatibility from an enameled pan that needs no seasoning. A flat cast iron skillet costs less and is more versatile if you do not need ridges.

How does it compare with a Le Creuset grill pan?

Both are enameled cast iron with similar heat performance and dishwasher-safe finishes. Staub's matte black interior hides stains better; Le Creuset offers more color choices. Pick on price and handle feel.

Can it go in the oven and under the broiler?

It is oven safe, so you can finish thick steaks or roast vegetables in the oven. Check Staub's stated maximum temperature before using the broiler.

What size is the cooking surface?

The round cooking surface is about 10.24 inches across and 1.38 inches deep, enough for two steaks or a few pieces of chicken at once. It suits 1 to 4 servings.

Is it dishwasher safe?

Staub lists it as dishwasher safe, but hand washing with warm water and a brush is gentler on the enamel and keeps the matte finish looking new.

When is the best time to buy it?

Cast iron and cookware discounts cluster around Black Friday, holiday sales and wedding-registry season. Watch the price history and buy when it drops below the recent range.

Our take on the Staub Cast Iron Pure Grill

The Staub Cast Iron Pure Grill is a round 10.24-inch enameled cast iron grill pan with raised ridges for searing and grill marks. It works on gas, electric, ceramic, glass top and induction, and it is oven safe. The matte black enamel needs no seasoning and is dishwasher safe, though hand washing keeps the finish nicer. Its latest best price is $159 at Distritech as of November 3, near the middle of its recent range.
