Good quality. Gave to husband for the grill. Read more

Great pan. A little heavy but it does the job. Even better for the price. Quick shipping. Read more

Great choice for either stovetop, oven/broiler or grill. If using on a grill it keeps delicate items from falling through. I love the double handle design since it’s heavy. Make sure you get their grill scraper as well for cleaning. Read more

We didn't "need" one but I really wanted one. And this particular one because it has the grill ridges. Bonus handle piece too ::thumbs up:: When I can't make it to the grill this is my go-to pan now. Grill marks and not having items directly over the heated surface is the way it needs to be done. I say not over direct heat because it has the ridges as compared to a flat cast iron skillet. Burgers in each are awesome I just prefer the grill over the flat. I really do my research because I prefer to buy things that will last and won't have to be replaced which is why I chose this product. We already know the brand is well established and has been producing quality products since they began. I've come to find that their price range is definitely best quality for the dollar. I'm not a professional cook I'm a guy that has a wife and we both love to cook.I use this on the grill, over a fire, on the stovetop and finished in the oven. It's cast iron. Just don't microwave it lol. For people that are looking for cast iron products for the first time I highly suggest this product. And of course those of us that are a little more seasoned with cast iron products already know that cleaning and caring for these items is very important. There are the basic steps you need to do to keep your pan in the best condition. However, I've not used cast iron before and it showed signs of surface rust and after a little cleaning and seasoning it's right back to new. Cast iron seems to be a little daunting when learning how to maintain them but it's more than simple once you have done it once or twice. So I highly suggest this product. Read more

This is a great pan, we also got the searing top to use with it. It makes a great sear and it is fun to use! However, it is INCREDIBLY hard to clean. The plastic scrapers don't do the job fully, in fact I haven't found anything that does. My suggestions to make it as cleanable as possible: Use no oil in the cooking Use nothing with any sort of sauce (such as marinated chicken with a drippy marinade) Put some water in it when you are done and as soon as it is cool enough, scrape the heck out of it with those lodge scrapers that have the grooves Season it after every single use, but when done be sure to really wipe out all oil well. Do a deep seasoning (with it in the oven) as often as you can If you aren't afraid of a good scrub every time you use it, I would get this. It has such a nice 'grill' feel to it! But if you don't want to spend twice as long cleaning as you did cooking, then maybe consider something non stick. We decided to keep it and I'm happy with that choice (mostly). Read more

We're now living in a no-grilling condo and miss our charcoal and gas grill cookouts. We took a chance on this cast iron pan but didn't have the highest of hopes. Pan fried steak isn't something we ever did. The pan is well made with no apparent defects, edges etc. Our first use was modest. I picked up some good quality ground beef at the butcher and made burgers. We were pleased beyond expectations. The pan seared good grill marks into the meat and created an excellent hot grilled taste. A+ for the first try. Second attempt was some choice sirloin steaks. These aren't as forgiving as burgers but again things turned out great. Another A+. We'll probably try boneless chicken breasts next followed by more beef, likely rib eye or tenderloin. Cleaning was as expected. It took a little work but not bad. We bought the Lodge silicon grill cleaners and they helped. If you're limited to cooking indoors, this is a great product and highly recommended. We cook on an electric glass top stove which wasn't a problem. Once the pan got to temperature, it was easy to keep it hot and do its work. Read more

If you don't mind the bit of extra work (heating pan on stove vs plugging in), this is a great pan to have. I like the fact you DON'T have to plug it in. The heavy press works perfectly on an English muffin or roll. It came with a special scraper that allows you to get between the ridges to clean the pan. Was delivered fairly well seasoned too, although we usually do a coating of oil after a cleaning. Well worth the price and effort. Read more

I use it to grill thin, long-sliced zucchini and peppers. Cut the zucchini lengthwise into 3 or 4 slices, so that you see the entire shape of the vegetable, including the stem. Leaves gorgeous grill striations on the final dish. Add a little balsamic vinegar. Cooks more at a time than a Lodge round grill pan. Only problem is, it still doesn't cook nearly enough at once for me and that means standing by for multiple rounds of grilling if you want to serve 4 people a lot of vegetables. Also works for meats or fish.A little hard to clean -- bought a product with a lot of plastic "spines" ecommended by someone else in these product reviews that works well. Read more
