Grill Pan Reviews

Don't let the high price tag and the cast iron thing scare you away from this great product. It's not your mother's cast iron of stuck-on messes and rust in your food. It's very easy to season, and from there it works great. We've been able to cook everything from salmon, to buffalo, to pineapples with no sticking.
Unlike it's predecessor, the George Foreman grill, it cooks many kind of foods beautifully without drying it out or sticking. The key...temperature control. Since it works with your stove, you can control the amout of heat you need.
Also, having a wee kitchen, it's nice not to have another appliance taking up valuable counter space.
One of the best features is the lifetime warranty. And they mean it too. My friend had a Le Creuset teapot that rusted out and they sent her a replacement for free.
Sure it's pricey, but you get what you pay for with this pan.

Wow, I love this pan! I also live in an apartment, so this is a great substitute for outdoor grilling when you want a quick dinner. It's not as good as the outdoor charcoal grill, but this has some advantages. It's super easy. I use this pan several times a week. I pre-heat the pan, brush a little canola oil to the ribs, and while it warms up to the right temperature, I prepare the food. I cut some veggies (can use zucchini, squash, small eggplant, onions, bell pepper, etc), on the bias, so there's more surface area, toss with olive oil, salt & pepper, and grill. You may have to do several rounds of it if you have lots of veggies. After cooking until just tender, toss with a little balsamic vinegar and olive oil. DELICIOUS!! Also, we've been grilling some great local wild salmon on this pan. It is unbelievable. It is very quick, so don't overcook. Season with salt and pepper, and anything you like. Just practice a couple times, experiment with the temperature and your technique, and you'll see how easy and tasty it is. If you can get some homegrown or organic produce, it's so much more tasty. Simple grilling complements good ingredients.

(1) Where is it written, who decreed that skillets should be round? (2) Why has it taken me so long to discover the advantages of a square fry pan?

The answers are: nowhere that I know of, and because my mother always used a round skillet. She would have loved this enameled cast iron beauty that leaves appetizing sear marks on meat - a char effect without the mess. The ribbed base captures grease allowing for healthier low fat cooking, and the surface is a satiny black enamel that cleans in a breeze.

It's compatible with all heating surfaces, and has an easy hold comfortable handle. We lightly applied vegetable oil to the ribs before our first use, and for several times thereafter. Since then there has been no need for the addition of oils. By heating the grill for a few minutes on medium heat (test with a drop of water and heat until water droplets sizzle) we've found the cooking surface primed for superior cooking.

This nifty item has such a plethora of uses - it can be used in the oven (keep your oven glove at the ready) or even on a backyard barbecue.

I love this grill pan! It's so versatile, I use it to grill fish, chicken, steak, and vegetables. It's a heafty heavy cast iron pan, which you can pass onto future generations...definitely not something you use for a couple of years and throw out. The great thing about it is that you can sear in the flavors on a stovetop and then put it in the oven for browning. You won't regret getting this. It's my favorite thing in my kitchen.

This is my favorite grill pan! I have 3 grill pans and only use this one. It works great on medium heat and grills foods to perfection. It really is non- stick and clean-up is a breeze. My next purchase will be a frying pan and soup pot.

I hate grilling outdoors, because i almost always get eatten alive. But this grill is the next best thing. It is great for grilling veggies, ribeye steaks and pork chops. It really gets the job done and what's nice about it is that you don't have to turn the stove up to high. It cooks evenly and gives you the grill marks and the whole deal. Clean up is a snap and I love it. One of the best pieces I have bought for my kitchen.

Until I used this product, I too, wouldn't have believed that one could become passionate about a cooking utensil. But All-Clad has outdone themselves with their LTD nonstick line. I've been wanting an upscale grill pan for a while, but was reluctant to spend a small fortune. This product would be well worth it at twice the price. Heat distribution is outstanding; meat, poultry and vegetables have beautiful grill marks and NOTHING STICKS! Even burnt on cheese from chicken cordon blue wipes out with a paper towel. Needless to say, cleanup is a snap. I've put my outdoor BBQ on hiatus~ this gives terrific results without the uneven blasts of heat, the bugs and the wilted appearance of the hostess (ME!) after standing over a hot grill in 96 degree heat while everyone else in staying cool, sipping on pina coladas. It's a MUST HAVE.

I am not a big fan of the All Clad LTD line but I do love this pan. I much prefer the All Clad polished stainless steel line (I have almost every piece and love it). This grill is a perfect size for grilling for 1-4 people. I debated on the grande size, I decided that since I don't grill everyday it didn't make sense to spend the extra money and deal with storing the larger size. Also, I selected the round style over the square, my stove burners are round so I figured that the round style made more sense for me.

I often marinade chicken tenders in Emeril Lagasse's marinade (he has several different marinades that you can find in your local supermarket) a day in advance and heat up this pan and toss on the chicken. I usually make a veggie or two and some rice, it is a very quick and easy dinner and is also very healthy! You can also use this pan for everything from burgers to a tuna steak.

This pan is not dishwasher safe due to the nonstick surface, but don't worry it is a breeze to clean. I have the George Foreman grill that has been sitting in the cabinet collecting dust since I bought this pan. I don't like the George Foreman grill because you can't really wash the grill surface very well. The grill surface should be removable so you can really clean it. This pan is very, very well made and is backed by a lifetime warranty. Sometimes this pan is sold as a special..., if you see it grab it. It is a steal at that price. Once you try All Clad you will be hooked too! Highly recommended! A+!

I could not believe that I found this pan at this price. I was further astounded when I received it and started cooking on it. It is absolutely fabulous. NY Strip streak comes out truly delicious when you simply sprinkle some salt and cracked pepper on it and then throw it on the grill pan. Also works great for bacon. Also works great for burgers. Also works great for...anything you could think of. For cleaning, I recommend immediately filling it with water after taking the food out, enough to cover all the bottom, and then let it sit til after dinner and you start doing the dishes. If you do this, then I recommend an OXO brush (ASIN B0000CFQOB) with nylon bristles. Gently brush between the grooves to loosen the remaining material and then use a sponge. I recommend the nylon brush because it is hard to get a sponge to get every bit of remaining material along the grooves. But overall this is incredibly easy to clean and even easier to cook on. I still cannot believe I paid only fifty for this item.

This is my first piece of Cuisinart. I must say I am very impressed with it! Food looks much more attractive, even sausages take on a lovely grilled look. I have used this pan several times in the past week..What's the best feature besides the nice browning effect? The very easy cleanup! This is much easier to clean than caphalon...A tiny drop of liquid and water, and quick swoosh with the sponge, and its clean! Will be looking to buy more pieces in the future..Don't be afraid of this one! A+++++

I use this pan quite a lot, actually. The ridges make it really easy to grill things. I also like to steam things in this pan ... putting a little water, or red wine ... works well as it gets underneath the food.

Clean-up is not as easy at it would appear (given the un-eveness of the cooking surface), but what're ya gonna do?

I especially enjoy grilled foods, not only because of its flavor, but because of its appearance. This grill give you perfect grill marks every time! Beautifully spaced and perfectly browned grill marks all the while cooking the item(s) evenly through. Oh, and very easy to clean! Wonderful product, I highly recommend it...a great investment!
