Kuhn Rikon Allround Grill Pan Uncoated Smooth 27 x 27cm
The Kuhn Rikon Allround Grill Pan is a square, uncoated 18/10 stainless steel pan with a smooth flat cooking surface rather than the raised ridges you'd find on a traditional grill pan. The 27 x 27cm square shape gives you more usable cooking area than a round pan of the same width, which is particularly useful when searing several pieces of meat or fish side by side. A full-surface square induction base distributes heat evenly right into the corners, and the pan is oven safe to 240°C for finishing dishes under the grill or in the oven. The ergonomic stay-cool handle keeps things comfortable on the hob, and a matching glass lid is available separately.
FEATURES
18/10 stainless steel, uncoated: Made from robust 18/10 stainless steel with no coating, so it can handle high-temperature searing and develops fond (caramelised residue) for deglazing.
Square 27 x 27cm cooking surface: The square shape provides more usable space than a round pan of the same width, fitting more food in a single layer for better browning.
Full-surface square induction base: The induction-compatible base covers the full square footprint, ensuring even heat distribution right into the corners rather than just the centre.
Oven safe to 240°C: The all-steel construction is oven safe to 240°C, so you can start a dish on the hob and finish it in the oven without changing pans.
Ergonomic stay-cool handle: The stainless steel handle is designed to stay cool during hob use, giving you a comfortable and secure grip while cooking.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q: Why is this called a grill pan if it has a smooth surface?
A: The 'grill pan' name refers to the square shape rather than the cooking surface. This version has a smooth, flat base rather than raised ridges. If you want grill lines on your food, look for the ridged version. If you want a versatile square pan for searing, browning, and general frying, the smooth version is the more flexible choice.
Q: Is this pan dishwasher safe?
A: It is described as dishwasher suitable, but hand washing is recommended. If the pan is very dirty, soak it in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes before cleaning.
Q: Can I use this on all hob types?
A: Yes, the full-surface induction base makes it compatible with induction hobs as well as gas, electric, and ceramic. The square induction surface is designed to distribute heat evenly across the full cooking area.
Q: Is a lid included?
A: No, the lid is not included. A matching square glass lid is available to purchase separately.
