Outset Cast Iron Shrimp Grill & Serving Pan, Black — 22-Shrimp Capacity, Pre-Seasoned Heavy-Duty

Bring restaurant-style shrimp to your backyard or dining table with a purpose-built pan that moves from the grill to the tabletop with ease. The Outset shrimp pan combines durable cast iron construction and a shallow, perforated cooking surface so shrimp sit securely while getting smoky, even heat. It arrives pre-seasoned for immediate use, and will continue to develop a rich, nonstick patina with regular care.

How does this pan keep shrimp from falling through the grill?

The pan’s shallow, textured surface keeps shrimp elevated above open flames and prevents small seafood from dropping into the coals. Shrimp receive direct heat and smoke without slipping between grates.

• Shallow, perforation-style surface holds shrimp in place.
• Solid cast iron base transfers heat evenly across the pan.
• Edges contain juices so flavor is retained while grilling.

What cooking methods work best with the Outset shrimp pan?

Although crafted for the grill, this versatile pan performs well on gas and electric stovetops, in ovens, and over campfire flames. It’s suited to quick sears, sautéing, braising in small amounts of liquid, or serving chilled cocktail shrimp straight from the pan.

• Grill: direct heat and smoke for outdoor flavor.
• Stovetop: quick sauté or sear for even caramelization.
• Oven or campfire: finish or roast shrimp at controlled temperatures.

How should I season, clean, and maintain this cast iron pan?

The pan is shipped pre-seasoned, but rubbing a little vegetable oil before the first use improves release. Clean with hot water and a brush or the Outset Chainmail Cast Iron Scrubber, dry promptly, and apply a thin oil layer before storing to protect the patina.

• Before first use: apply a light coat of vegetable oil to the surface.
• Cleaning: avoid soap when possible; use hot water and a stiff brush or chainmail scrubber.
• Storage: dry completely and lightly oil to prevent rusting.

What are the size and durability details I should know?

Compact yet substantial, the pan weighs about 5.32 pounds and measures 6.25 x 13.25 x 2 inches — large enough for 22 jumbo shrimp but small enough to move between cooking zones. Cast iron construction is designed to last decades with proper care.

• Capacity: holds up to 22 jumbo grilled shrimp at once.
• Dimensions and weight: 6.25 x 13.25 x 2 inches, 5.32 lbs for stable heat retention.
• Longevity: heirloom-grade cast iron that improves with use.

If you want a durable skillet that prevents food from falling through grates, doubles as an elegant serving piece, and gets better with age, the Outset Shrimp Cast Iron Grill and Serving Pan is engineered to meet those needs.
