KitchenAid Hard-Anodized Induction Grill & Griddle Pan, Square 11.5" — Triple-Layer Nonstick, Oven-Safe to 500°F

The KitchenAid Hard Anodized Induction Nonstick Square Grill Pan is a durable stovetop grill and griddle that delivers even heat, triple-layer nonstick release, and induction compatibility for reliable indoor searing and everyday cooking.

This square grill and griddle pan combines a heavy-gauge, hard-anodized aluminum body with a thick forged base to reduce hot spots and promote uniform browning across the cooking surface. Its triple-layer nonstick interior and enhanced nonstick rivet finishes make flipping and cleaning simpler, while compatibility with induction cooktops and oven-safe performance to 500°F expand how and where you cook.

How does this pan create better sears and even cooking?

The pan’s thick, forged base and hard-anodized construction increase mass and surface contact so heat distributes more uniformly across the square surface. That stability reduces temperature variations, helping you brown proteins and vegetables consistently.

• Thick forged base resists warping for steady contact with burner.
• Hard-anodized aluminum improves heat transfer and retention.
• Square cooking area offers extra searing surface compared with round pans.
• Performs on gas, electric, and induction cooktops for versatile use.

Will food stick and is the pan easy to clean?

KitchenAid applied a durable triple-layer nonstick finish to the interior and treated the handle rivets for improved release, so food lifts away with minimal scraping. The slick surface means less oil is required for many recipes and makes post-cook cleanup faster, and the pan is dishwasher safe when you prefer machine washing.

• Triple-layer nonstick minimizes food adhesion and sticking.
• Nonstick-treated rivets prevent trapped food buildup around handles.
• Dishwasher-safe design for quick cleanup after busy meals.
• Easy-release surface suitable for delicate fish, eggs, and marinaded meats.

Can I use this pan on an induction cooktop and in the oven?

Yes — the pan is built to work on induction ranges as well as gas and electric stovetops, expanding where it can be used in your kitchen. It is also oven-safe up to 500°F, allowing you to finish dishes under high heat without transferring to a different pan.

• Induction-compatible base for magnetic cooktops.
• Oven safe to 500°F for finishing or higher-heat recipes.
• Stable handle design stays secure through stovetop-to-oven transitions.
• Suitable for weeknight grilling, broiling finishes, and sear-then-roast techniques.

What makes this pan built to last for everyday use?

The hard-anodized aluminum body is resistant to scratches and wear while remaining lighter than cast iron, offering a long service life with steady performance. The construction focuses on strength and consistent results without sacrificing maneuverability or maintenance convenience.

• Hard-anodized exterior resists corrosion and daily wear.
• Forged base prevents warping and preserves flatness over time.
• Triple-layer coating stands up to regular use when cared for properly.
• Riveted handle adds mechanical durability for frequent handling.
