CS 9.5 in Nonstick Grill Pan with Lid - Healthy Marble Coating

In this review of the CS 9.5 in Nonstick Grill Pan, the bottom line is simple: it is best for home cooks who want a compact, durable grill skillet that heats quickly and keeps food from sticking without toxic fumes. The reviewer found the pan especially useful for weeknight grilling on a stovetop because its no-toxic granite coating is free of PFAS, PFOA, lead and cadmium, and the included lid speeds cooking while keeping splatter to a minimum. It is a practical choice when you need a small, energy-efficient grill surface that cleans up easily and works on induction as well as gas or electric ranges.

Key Features

• No-Toxic Granite Coating: The interior and exterior use a stone-earth nonstick finish that resists sticking and will not release toxic fumes if accidentally overheated.
• Fast Heating: The thickened magnetic bottom conducts heat quickly and evenly to reduce hot spots and save time on the stovetop.
• Wide Stove Compatibility: Designed for gas, ceramic, electric, halogen and induction cooktops so it works with most home ranges.
• Easy to Clean: The high performance granite coating lets you cook with little oil and wipes clean with minimal effort after use.
• Comfortable Handle: The ergonomically shaped bakelite handle stays cool and provides an easy grip for lifting and flipping foods.

Who It's For

This grill pan suits home cooks who want a small square skillet for indoor grilling without heavy maintenance or worrying about toxic coatings; it is ideal for those cooking steaks, vegetables or sandwiches on weeknights. It is also a good fit for people with induction or electric ceramic stoves who need a compact, fast-heating pan that distributes heat evenly.

Those who frequently use an oven or rely on dishwasher cleanup should look elsewhere, since the pan is not intended for oven use and the manufacturer does not recommend dishwasher cleaning. If you need a very large grill surface for family-sized batches, a larger pan would be more appropriate.
