Grill pans

Our grill pans: reliable and versatile for everyday cooking

With an IKEA grill pan, you can cook steaks with a crisp sear, full-flavoured veg and all sorts of indoor grilling ideas, whatever the weather. The ridged base gives you those classic grill marks and helps you get a proper sear. If you choose a pan with a non-stick coating, you can use less oil and make washing up easier, leaving more time to enjoy the meal.

Choose from hard-wearing cast iron or stainless steel. Whether you cook on induction, gas or ceramic, or want a pan that can go in the oven too, you’ll find an option that suits the way you cook. Mix and match with our woks, pots or roasting tins and kit out your kitchen your way.

Key features and benefits of our grill pans at a glance (depending on the pan):

• Grill marks: The ridged surface creates that classic charred look and helps build flavour, whether you’re cooking meat, fish or veg
• Versatility: Suitable for all hob types, including induction and gas and many are oven-safe too
• Non-stick coating: A durable coating helps you cook with less fat and makes cleaning easier
• Built to last: Stainless steel and cast iron are sturdy and distribute heat reliably (selected cast-iron models come with up to a 15-year guarantee)
• Easy to handle: Designs that are comfortable to lift and carry from hob to table
• Easy care: Many models are straightforward to wash by hand, ideal for everyday use

Whether you’re after steakhouse-style grill marks or want to add a grilled edge to vegetables, there’s an IKEA grill pan that fits.

What are the benefits of grill pans?

Grill pans are great when you want steady heat and a proper sear. The ridges help you get those appetising lines with fish, vegetables or meat. If you choose non-stick, you can cook with very little oil and get the pan clean again quickly.

What makes cast-iron grill pans special?

If you want something extra robust, cast iron is a great choice. It holds heat well, browns evenly and can often go straight into the oven, which is handy for finishing thicker cuts. Practical touches like two handles can make it easier to lift and move, even when the pan is full. Selected cast-iron models come with up to a 15-year guarantee, so it’s worth checking the guarantee leaflet for details.

Are induction grill pans especially fast?

Our grill pans work on all types of hob, but they work especially well on induction. Induction uses magnetic fields to heat the pan directly, which makes it very fast and precise. If you choose a pan with a solid non-stick coating, you can cook with less sticking and without relying on lots of oil. Whether you go for cast iron or a stainless steel base with an aluminium layer, these pans heat up quickly and accurately and can help you save energy too.

Why can grill pans bring the outdoor grill feel into your kitchen?

A grill pan can give you that familiar grill pattern without an outdoor grill. The ridges help keep food lifted as it cooks, while you still get a satisfying sear and plenty of flavour. From burgers to fish, vegetables and plant-based foods, the right pan makes it easy to bring the grilled look straight to the table. And if you’re serving straight from the pan, your glasses, crockery, cutlery, and table lighting can set the scene beautifully.

What should I look for when buying a grill pan?

Thinking about buying a new grill pan? Here are the main things to consider:

• Size: How big should your pan be? That often depends on your hob, on the size of your kitchen and on how many people you usually cook for.
• Material: Cast iron or stainless steel? If you’re just starting out, a lighter stainless steel pan with a non-stick coating can be easier to use. If you cook often and want something heavier, cast iron holds heat well and can add extra depth of flavour.
• Everyday use: Is it easy to clean? Is it dishwasher-safe? Think about storage and whether you want an oven-safe pan too. If you only grill occasionally, a classic IKEA frying pan might be worth a look.

Whichever grill pan you choose, you’ll find good-value options for steaks, fish, vegetables and more, made to keep you cooking confidently for years.
