Exceptional Heat Retention
Thanks to the high quality of our trusted cast iron, this Cast Iron Searing Grid will give you restaurant-grade char lines, every time.
Mix and Match with the EGGspander
Our Half Moon Cast Iron Searing Grid can be mixed and matched with other cooking surfaces in your EGGpander System. This means that you could be grilling steak on one side, while preparing your peppercorn sauce on the other.
Double-Sided Design
The bars on each side of the grid are different widths – one wider, one narrower. Pick how thick you want your char lines to be and install the grid accordingly.
A lifetime of flavour
Better heat retention means incredible crusts, chars and barks, whether you're cooking meat, fish or veg. And because cast iron becomes seasoned over time, flavourful oils and fats work their way into the surface, enhancing your ingredients with their rich complexity. Look after your cast iron, and it’ll last you a lifetime.
The EGGspander System
The EGGspander System is a genuine game changer. As well as massively increasing your cooking area, the different heights and surfaces offer genuine flexibility. You can be grilling your meat on one side, while roasting your potatoes on the other, as your sauce bubbles away above. If you’re new to the EGG, it’s THE indispensable accessory to go for. If you’re not, you’re going to wonder how you survived without it.
FAQs
This Cast Iron Searing Grid is perfect for direct cooking over the flames. As well as steak and traditional barbecue foods like burgers and sausages, fish never tasted so good — salmon and monkfish are great — and smaller vegetables are a surprisingly delicious option. Don't be afraid to slightly burn the surface of the veg, as it only deepens the flavour.
Seasoning is the process of coating cookware with layers of fat to create a natural non-stick surface. Cast iron and wrought iron have an amazing ability to retain seasoning, becoming more and more non-stick with every use. What’s more, your food will begin to taste better as it takes on the flavours of the cooks that came before it.
You’ll have to re-season your iron cookware with a high burning-temperature oil (such as rapeseed oil) from time to time. You can find full instructions for cleaning and seasoning your iron cookware here.
Never clean cast iron in a dishwasher or submerge it in water. To clean on the EGG, simply bring your EGG up to a high temperature and use one of our scrubbers to remove any debris. Then wipe down with oil to re-season.
