Cast Iron Pots, Grill Presses & Accessories for Outdoor Cooking

Cast Iron Pots, Grill Presses & Outdoor Cooking Accessories

Cast iron cookware is a natural fit for grills, smokers, griddles, and outdoor kitchens because it holds heat well and works across a wide range of cooking styles. DDR BBQ Supply’s current Cast Iron collection includes 15 products spanning sauce pans, frying pans, Dutch ovens, casserole cookware, grill presses, fajita and sizzle platters, a shrimp tray, and related outdoor-cooking tools.

Whether you are searing steaks, cooking a side dish, pressing burgers, making fajitas, preparing shrimp, or slow-cooking in a Dutch oven, start by choosing the type of cookware that matches the job.

Cast Iron Pans, Dutch Ovens & Cookware

Napoleon makes up a large part of the current cookware selection. Available pieces include:

• 2L Cast Iron Sauce Pan with Lid for sauces, sides, and smaller preparations
• 4-inch Mini Cast Iron Pan for sauces, individual sides, and desserts
• 9.5-inch Cast Iron Frying Pan for searing, frying, and sautéing
• Large Cast Iron Frying Pan for larger portions
• 4.5-quart Round Casserole Dish for baked and braised dishes
• Cast Iron Dutch Ovens for soups, stews, braises, breads, and outdoor cooking
• Cast Iron Fajita Skillet with Removable Handle for cooking and serving fajitas and other hot dishes
• Cast Iron Sizzle Platter for serving foods hot from the grill
• Cast Iron Jumbo Shrimp Tray for cooking shrimp and other bite-size foods on the grill

Cast iron can move from the grill or stovetop to the serving area, but individual products can have different handle, lid, and heat-source requirements. Check the specific product instructions before use.

Grill Presses for Burgers, Bacon & Paninis

DDR BBQ Supply also carries grill presses designed to increase contact between food and a hot cooking surface.

The current Cast Iron collection includes the DDR BBQ Supply Cast Iron Bacon & Grill Press and Outset Cast Iron Round Grill Press, along with a stainless steel burger smasher.

A grill press can be useful for:

• Keeping bacon flatter as it cooks
• Pressing burgers against a griddle for more surface contact
• Holding sandwiches and paninis against the cooking surface
• Keeping certain cuts from curling
• Increasing direct contact between food and a hot griddle or pan

Cast iron presses retain more heat and weight, while stainless steel options are generally lighter and require different care. For more choices, browse Grill Presses.

Cast Iron for Grills, Smokers & Flat Tops

Cast iron is useful beyond the kitchen because it can handle many outdoor-cooking applications when the individual cookware is rated for that use.

Use a frying pan or skillet for vegetables, breakfast, seafood, or side dishes. A Dutch oven can handle longer cooks such as beans, chili, stews, braised meat, or bread. Grill presses and burger smashers pair especially well with flat-top cooking, while sizzle platters and fajita pans make it easy to cook and serve from the same piece.

The current collection also includes the recteq Large Flat Top Griddle, broadening the assortment beyond traditional pots and pans.

Caring for Cast Iron Cookware

Proper care helps cast iron stay ready for repeated cooking.

General cast iron care includes:

• Let cookware cool before cleaning.
• Avoid leaving cast iron wet after washing.
• Dry thoroughly before storage.
• Apply a light coat of cooking oil when appropriate to help maintain seasoned surfaces.
• Store cookware in a dry location.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for enameled, coated, or specially finished cast iron pieces.

Care requirements can vary, so always follow the instructions provided for the specific Napoleon, DDR BBQ Supply, Outset, or other cookware you purchase.

Choose your cast iron setup based on how you cook most often: frying pans and sauce pans for everyday versatility, Dutch ovens for longer cooks, specialty trays and platters for specific foods, or a heavy press when more surface contact is the goal.
