With this two-piece set from Le Creuset, you can make your own grilled panini sandwiches and produce char lines on hamburgers or chicken breasts for that barbecued look. The 10-1/4-inch square cast-iron grill pan features raised ridges in the bottom that not only create the lines but drain fat, for which the two side pour spouts are designed. To make panini, heat the heavy cast-iron press on another burner, then place on top of the sandwich in the hot grill pan, so that both sides cook at once. The heat melts cheese and the pressure keeps a veggie-filled sandwich intact. The pan is safe for use in the oven, under the broiler, on any type of stovetop burner, and in the freezer and refrigerator. Le Creuset is known fo (more…)

Lodge Color is one of the newest lines from this respected American cast iron cookware company. Traditionally shaped and more affordable than some European brands, Lodge Color enameled cast iron is just as durable, requires no seasoning, and attractively serves at the table. Lodge infuses this 6-quart Dutch oven with two coats of hard-as-nails porcelain enamel, in a choice of several bright colors that are gradated (dark to light) on the exterior, and which are nicely set off by a cream interior. Embellished with concentric circles and a black knob, the lid, which also fits the Lodge Color 11-inch skillet, is oven-safe to 400 degrees F, so you can start a stew or casserole on the stovetop and finish by baking it in the oven. The 6-quart Dutch oven measures 10-3/4 inches in diameter and 5 inches deep.
Lodge enameled cast iron makes a smart choice due to its versatility-you can marinate raw meats in it, since it won’t absorb odors or flavors, and you can braise, sauté, simmer, and bake in it. Made in China to Lodge’s meticulous specifications, each cookware item is first clad in matte black enamel before the color is added. The black rim that shows on the oven is actually the scratch-resistant matte enamel, not the raw cast iron. Though the Dutch oven is dishwasher-safe, washing by hand is recommended to best preserve the glossy finish. Look also for the pricier Lodge Enamel series, with its unique L-shaped lid knob, in a different set of colors and sizes to suit any kitchen. All Lodge enameled ware is covered by a lifetime warranty against defects. –Ann Bieri
