- For kamado, open fire, stove and oven
This product cannot be ordered at the moment.
The skillet 25 cm with handles from Valhal Outdoor is the version without a long handle. Two short grips on either side keep the pan compact, so it can sit in the middle of the grate without anything sticking out over the edge of your kamado. You lift it straight up with both hands, even when it's full.
The pan is cast from solid, untreated cast iron. That stores heat and releases it slowly, so the base temperature doesn't drop the moment cold meat goes in. That gives you a crust instead of stewed meat.
- Diameter 25 cm, room for two portions
- Two short handles for stable lifting
- Also fits when the lid of a smaller kamado needs to close
- Solid cast iron, season it yourself
- Can go straight to the table as a serving pan
Why a skillet 25 cm with handles
On a kamado, space is precious. Without a handle you only use the spot the pan itself takes up, and the lid always closes. That's nicer in the oven and on a tabletop grill too. The downside: shaking or tilting is less smooth than with a handle.
How to cook in it
Let the pan get hot empty before adding fat, otherwise things stick. Steak, chicken thighs, mushrooms or sliced vegetables with garlic all work well. Want gentle cooking instead of frying? Place the pan in the indirect zone behind a heat deflector.
Maintenance
Rinse while the pan is still lukewarm, skip the scouring pad and the dishwasher, and dry it immediately. Then rub a thin layer of neutral oil over the inside and outside. That way the seasoning gets darker, smoother and better over the years.
Want more cooking surface? The 30 cm with two handles is the next step up. Compare sizes among the cast iron skillets or browse the rest of the cast iron for the barbecue.
