Bayou Classic Cast Iron Oyster Grill Pan

While it is designed for grills and ovens, it can be used on a gas stovetop if the pan sits securely on the grate. We recommend avoiding glass or ceramic cooktops, as the heavy cast iron can scratch the surface or cause damage.

Yes, like most cast iron cookware, it is best to apply a light coat of oil and heat it before your first use. Regular seasoning will help maintain the non-stick surface and prevent rust over time.

Absolutely. The cast iron holds temperature very well, so if you chill the pan in the freezer before serving, it will help keep your oysters or clams cold and fresh while they are on the table.

Hand wash the pan with warm water and a stiff brush immediately after use. Avoid using harsh detergents or a dishwasher, and always dry it thoroughly on the stove over low heat before applying a thin layer of oil to prevent rust.

The molds are sized to accommodate most standard-sized oysters and clams on the half-shell. If you are working with exceptionally large or jumbo-sized oysters, they may sit slightly higher in the wells, but they will still cook evenly.
