The "grille" is made of a highly conductive heavy-gauge anodized aluminum. It has a durable Excalibur nonstick interior for easy release and quick cleanup. The cast stainless steel handle remains cool to the touch even while on the stovetop. Great for grilling chicken, fish, pork and lamb chops with little or no fat. The excess fat collects at the bottom of the pan away from the food enabling you to create a healthy meal!
