Ibili 5ply Element 5-layer stainless steel ridged grill pan

Ibili 5Ply Element ridged grill pan

The Ibili 5Ply Element ridged grill pan is a kitchen griddle built from five-layer 18/10 stainless steel, with no non-stick coating, available in two sizes: 24 and 28 cm. It is made for searing meat, fish and vegetables just as you would on a barbecue grill, on any kind of hob — induction included — and it is oven and dishwasher safe.

It belongs to Ibili's 5Ply Element collection, the same family as the brand's uncoated multi-layer frying pans, with which it shares its construction and philosophy: quality materials and zero synthetic coatings.

How does the five-layer construction work?

The body combines five permanently bonded sheets that work as one: 304 (18/10) stainless steel in contact with the food, two layers of 1060 aluminium that spread the heat across the whole piece, a central core of 3003 aluminium that retains it, and an outer stainless steel base suitable for induction. The result is a grill pan that heats up quickly, holds its temperature and distributes it evenly from the centre to the edges, with excellent energy efficiency.

No non-stick coating and no PTFE

The ridged surface carries no non-stick coating at all, so it can take the high heat a good sear calls for and can even be scrubbed with a scourer. With use it develops a natural patina, especially when cooking foods rich in fat. The tubular stainless steel handle is riveted on and reduces heat transfer to the hand. It is also LFGB certified.

Which size should I choose, 24 or 28 cm?

The difference lies in the searing surface and the weight, as the table shows: the 24 cm pan weighs 1.463 kg and is easier to handle for one or two servings; the 28 cm one goes up to 1.8 kg and offers more room to sear several pieces at once without crowding them.

A grill pan designed to last for many years: sturdy, stable at high temperatures and with no non-stick layers that could wear out over time.
