Nordic Ware’s grill pans and griddles are designed for exceptional durability, even heat distribution, and versatility. Made from high-quality cast aluminum, they heat quickly and evenly, preventing hot spots for consistent cooking results. Many feature a PFOA-free nonstick coating for easy food release and cleanup. Plus, Nordic Ware products are Made in Minnesota whenever possible, ensuring trusted craftsmanship and long-lasting performance.
Grill pans have raised ridges that mimic outdoor grilling, allowing fat to drain away and creating those signature sear marks on meats, vegetables, and sandwiches.
Griddle pans have a flat, smooth surface, making them perfect for pancakes, eggs, bacon, and other breakfast favorites. Some griddles are reversible, offering both a smooth and a ridged side for more versatility.
Most Nordic Ware griddles and grill pans are designed for stovetop use, but some can be used on a grill. Always check the product details—cast aluminum pans should not be used over direct flames or extreme high heat. Checkout our selection of outdoor griddles & grill pans.
Nordic Ware griddles and grill pans are primarily made from quality aluminum, which offers lightweight durability and excellent heat conduction. Some models feature stainless steel handles for a comfortable grip. The nonstick coating is PFOA-free for easy cooking and cleaning.
Yes, Nordic Ware grill pans and griddles come with a high-quality nonstick coating for easy food release. However, using a small amount of oil, butter, or cooking spray can improve browning, enhance flavor, and prolong the life of the nonstick surface.
Hand wash with warm, soapy water—avoid the dishwasher to protect the nonstick coating.
Use a soft sponge or nylon brush—never metal utensils or abrasive cleaners.
If food residue sticks, soak the pan briefly before washing.
Store carefully to prevent scratches, and avoid stacking heavy items on top.
With proper care, your Nordic Ware griddle or grill pan will be a go-to tool in your kitchen for years to come!
