Usually, I prefer kitchen tools that have one<\/em> purpose or function. You know, something that has a single focus that it nails every time: a great Dutch oven, a decades-old cast-iron skillet\u2014you get the idea. So, when I was tasked with testing Staub\u2019s Cast-Iron 2-in-1 Grill Pan & Cocotte<\/a>, I was skeptical. It\u2019s a beautiful pan that\u2019s clearly sturdy and designed to last, but I wasn\u2019t convinced that it could do anything a skillet (or two) couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

First, I tested out the grill pan. I figured using it to char halved fairy tale eggplants would be a good trial. After a few minutes, the pan had imparted the veg with impressive, defined grill marks and a smoky flavor. Next, I used the cocotte to make a quick, spicy tomato sauce flavored with garlic and Calabrian chiles. I threw the charred eggplant halves into the sauce, brought the whole thing up to a simmer, and let it cook until the eggplant was fall-apart tender. Served with crispy-skinned seared salmon (also cooked in the Staub pan!) and rice, I was surprised by how simple\u2014yet elegant\u2014the meal was.<\/p>\n

After my initial success, I started to think of other ways I could incorporate this pan into my daily cooking routines, especially in cases where both parts of the pan\u2014the grill and the cast-iron cocotte\u2014could be of use. Yes, you could make most of these recipes using some combination of a cast-iron skillet, grill pan, and braiser\u2014but it doesn\u2019t hurt that this one pan does it all (and is compact and easy to store, too). Keep reading for the five recipes I can\u2019t wait to make in my 2-in-1 Grill Pan & Cocotte.<\/p>\n

Oh, and before I forget: It\u2019s currently over 50 percent off, so now’s the time to stock up.<\/p>\n

1. Grilled Cheese + Tomato Soup<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s a perfect combination for quick lunches and weeknight dinners alike. Use the grill pan to make your sandwich, and make (or, let\u2019s be real, reheat) your soup in the cocotte.<\/p>\n

2. Grilled Protein + Taco Shells<\/h3>\n

Grilled shrimp and pineapple are the ideal taco filling, especially when paired with a just-fried, crispy taco shell.<\/p>\n

3. Burgers + Caramelized Onions<\/h3>\n

Burger patties and grill pans are a natural pairing, and if I\u2019m making burgers, chances are I\u2019m also making caramelized onions\u2014ideally in the enameled cast-iron cocotte.<\/p>\n

4. Toast + Something Saucy<\/h3>\n

Whether you\u2019re making shakshuka, brothy beans, or a French fish stew, you\u2019ll want to have toasted baguette or sourdough on hand for dipping and dunking.<\/p>\n
