Définition et Signification de "grill pan"

What is a "grill pan"?

A grill pan is a type of stovetop cooking pan designed to replicate the grilling process indoors. It features raised ridges or grooves on the cooking surface, which create grill marks and allow excess fat to drain away from the food being cooked. Grill pans are typically made of cast iron, aluminum, or stainless steel and may have a non-stick coating for easier cleaning. They are used for cooking a variety of foods, including meats, vegetables, and even fruits, providing the characteristic grilled flavor and appearance without the need for an outdoor grill.
