Grill Pan

Thanks for dropping by and browsing around. I appreciate having a visitor every now and then! Chances are that since you have made it to my site you are probably trying to answer the question,

I built this site to help people get more use from their grill pans.  Grill pans are great kitchen tools but are under-utilized because most people’s initial experiences led to smoke filled kitchens and pans that were impossible to clean. Grill pans are great when cooking for one or two people and are spectacular for adding sear marks to quick cooking foods.  I have the following information on this site:

“What is the best grill pan?” 

Short Answer: 

The two best grill pans are: 

 

• • Simply Calphalon Nonstick 13-Inch Round Grill Pan 

 

• • Lodge Pro-Logic 12-Inch Grill Pan 

The Calphalon is a clad aluminum grill pan that was ranked as the best overall in an evaluation by Cook’s Illustrated (Jan 1, 2006). Cook’s Illustrated does excellent research and their recommendation should be given significant weight. 

The Lodge is a seasoned cast iron grill pan that was ranked as the best overall in an evaluation by the LA Times (Oct 27, 2004). While the LA Times food section doesn’t carry a lot of authoritative weight I fully support their choice because I love cast iron. I love the look and the weight of cast iron. When I break out my cast iron I feel like I am doing some serious cooking. “Stand back! Here comes the Iron!” Of course this leads into the long answer… 

Long Answer: 

It will depend upon what is important to you. Go ahead and browse through this site. I’ve got a few pages that walk you through the different types of grill pans so you can figure out what will be best for you. I’ve also thrown in a few pages on how to take care of your grill pan and put it to good use.

I am just a guy who loves to grill. I have charcoal grills, gas grills and a barbecue smoker. Every now and then a little bit of rain forces me to do my grilling indoors. I had a hard time learning how to use my grill pans. I am hoping this site will make your learning curve a little bit easier! 

Grilled Chops!

It is not hard to use a grill pan if you follow some simple rules.  Learning these rules took me a while and I almost threw my pan away before I finally figured them out.  I am hoping that these pages will help shorten your learning curve and make your journey towards successful indoor grilling much smoother than mine.  There is no need for you to have a kitchen filled with smoke or end up with a pan that takes an hour to clean.  With a little planning and common sense you can be making some beautiful food with minimal hassle.
