Dual-mode moo ka ta-style cookware with removable cooking/grilling surface

Abstract

A moo ka ta-style grill pan includes an outer perimetrical wall, an inner wall, and a bottom surface connecting the outer wall and the inner wall. The bottom surface, outer wall, and inner wall form a reservoir adapted to hold soup, broth, or a similar hot liquid. A central grilling area is provided, surrounded at least partially by the reservoir; the central grilling area includes a removable grill surface. The central grilling area may be defined by the inner wall, and the removable grill surface sits thereatop. Means for securing the removable grill surface grill atop the central grilling area, e.g. a flange disposed on at least one of the removable grill surface or a top rim of the inner wall, is provided. Holes are provided in the removable grill surface to allow drippings of food being grilled thereatop to pass therethrough and not fall into the reservoir.
