How to clean your cast iron grill​

To ensure your Le Creuset grill lasts a lifetime, it must be properly cleaned. So, how do you take care of your Enamelled Cast Iron grill pans and griddles? Should you wash them with dish soap? Do they need seasoning with oil? How do you safely store a grill? This guide will provide all the answers to these questions and more.

Steps to clean your grill

Unlike raw cast iron, our grills feature a black satin enamel interior which makes it easy to clean. There is no pre-seasoning required with this enamel – so your grill is conveniently ready to use straight out of the box. Over time it will also develop a patina (brownish-black film) that should not be scrubbed off, as it enhances flavour and assists with food release. Simply follow the steps below to keep your grill clean.
