This frying pan allows you to feel like a real culinary virtuoso and cook environmentally friendly products without oil. Moreover, you can cook meat, fish or vegetables in it. I wrote about the delightful features of this miracle vessel in the article “gas grill pan.” Before using the frying pan, pour about a glass of water into the pan. This must be done so that the food does not dry out during cooking. Also, the presence of water in the pan will prevent the formation of smoke from the juice and fat released by the food.
Then install the grill. And start putting food on it. The dish will not burn if the food is placed so that its edges do not protrude beyond the grill. During cooking, try to remove the lid of the vessel as rarely as possible. This is necessary so that the heat can be evenly distributed. Well, the frying pan is ready. It's time to start cooking. As promised, I am posting the most delicious recipes with photos for a gas grill pan. And at the very end of the article you can download the recipe book and cook for your own pleasure.

Union of grill and gas
A gas grill pan is noticeably different from any other. Its main element is a tray with a round hole in the middle. Outwardly, it resembles a muffin pan. Pour a little water into the bottom of the pan (so that the dripping fat does not burn) and place a grate on top. Then the products are laid out on it and covered with a lid. It is worth noting that this frying pan is only suitable for cooking on a gas stove. It is recommended to use the middle burner so that the diameter of the flame matches the hole in the base of the pan.
The principle of heating dishes is this: hot air rises up and falls down. Thanks to convection, food is cooked evenly on all sides. The design of the frying pan allows you to fry food just like on a grill, and if you add a little more water to the pan, you get something similar to a double boiler. In this way, you can cook not only steaks and vegetables, but also main courses in small pots or julienne in cocotte makers. Even homemade baked goods are quite easy to make in a gas grill pan. To do this, the dough is poured directly into the pan, and the lid is not opened during baking. In this article we will share with you interesting recipes for dishes cooked in a gas grill pan. They will decorate your home picnic or weekday dinner.
Why fried food is bad for you
When frying in oil, carcinogens are formed. But here we need to make an amendment: carcinogenic substances that can provoke cancer and Alzheimer’s disease are formed
- when the frying oil overheats,
- when cooking starchy carbohydrates (potatoes),
- and also if the pan coating is made of cheap materials.
In addition to carcinogens, our health is also threatened by trans fats (trans isomers of fatty acids) - these are “disfigured” molecules that negatively affect metabolism, increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and decreased immunity.
When frying, their concentration in the product increases rapidly. Therefore, you should not constantly eat fried foods.

- enameled. Dishes made from enamel coating will last a very long time. During cooking, food does not burn. One of the disadvantages is the heavy weight, but this is not such a serious drawback;
