Outset Cast Iron Oyster Grill Pan — 12-Cavity Black, Pre-Seasoned Heavy-Duty for Grill, Oven & Table Serving

The Outset 12-cavity cast iron oyster grill pan is a heavy-duty, pre-seasoned cookware piece made to grill and serve up to twelve oysters or create individual baked bites.

This versatile cast iron pan combines the heat retention and durability of traditional iron with a seasoned, non-stick surface so you can cook oysters on the half shell or shucked, then serve straight from pan to table. At 13.25 x 19.25 x 1 inches and weighing 8.6 pounds, it’s substantial enough for open-flame grilling, oven baking, or stovetop use and doubles as a distinctive serving piece for appetizers and single-serve dishes.

How does this pan make grilling oysters easier?

The pan’s twelve concave cavities cradle oysters securely so they stay upright while cooking, reducing spillage and ensuring even heating. The pre-seasoned finish helps oysters release cleanly and simplifies cleanup compared with untreated iron.

• 12 shaped wells hold oysters steady on grill, stovetop, or in oven
• Pre-seasoned surface promotes easy release and browning
• Heavy cast iron delivers even heat across all cavities

Can I use this for foods other than oysters?

Yes — the 12 wells are perfect for creating individual portions: miniature cornbreads, mac & cheese servings, drop biscuits, or bite-sized frittatas. The same shape that stabilizes oysters works well for any batter or topped small-plate items.

• Use for mini cornbreads, mac & cheese cups, or savory tarts
• Suitable for shucked seafood, small desserts, or single-serve sides
• Oven-, grill-, and stovetop-safe for flexible recipe options

What care and maintenance does this cast iron pan require?

Because it’s pre-seasoned, you can use it right away; wash with warm water and a soft brush or use the Outset chainmail scrubber for stuck-on bits. Periodically re-season with a light coat of cooking oil to maintain the protective layer and prevent rust.

• Hand wash only — avoid soap and dishwashers when possible
• Dry thoroughly and apply a thin oil layer after cleaning
• Store in a dry place; use chainmail scrubber for tough residue

Where does this pan perform best — grill, oven, or stovetop?

This cast iron tray excels across heat sources: it can be placed on a gas burner, cast over live coals, or set in a hot oven to develop crusts and caramelization. Its weight and cast construction give consistent results whether searing on a skillet top or grilling outdoors.

• Handles open-flame grilling and backyard BBQs without warping
• Oven-safe for controlled baking and broiling finishes
• Stovetop-ready for quick sautés or finishing sauces

Who is this for: Home cooks and outdoor chefs who want a durable, multi-use piece that combines presentation and performance. If you host seafood nights, entertain frequently, or enjoy creating small-batch baked items, this Outset oyster pan gives you a reliable, long-lasting surface for both cooking and serving single-serve dishes.
