Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions
Product Description
The one thing that probably discourages more people from purchasing and using cast iron is maintenance. Like carbon steel woks, cast iron cooking pieces require "seasoning." To many this is a mysterious or overly time-consuming process. Even if you treasure fond memories of eggs and pancakes cooked in grandmother's ancient, blackened skillet, you might have no idea how to turn your new pan into such a treasure. Fortunately Lodge has come out with the new Logic line, which has been evenly coated on all surfaces with an electrostatic spray of vegetable oil. Next the cookware is put into an extremely high temperature industrial oven which bakes the coating into the surface. Not only will you be spared the time and effort of seasoning, but also the new piece you buy will look and perform better than if you had seasoned it at home. You'll find this is a great pan for grilling everything from peppers to steak to swordfish.

Let's face it, grill pans are great in theory, but reality sometimes falls short. This is my fourth grill pan. It is the second hardest to clean, but it's a workhorse. I've tried turkey bacon, tuna and chicken breasts on it -- all with moderate success. I've just purchased a grill press, which I think will make me love the pan more.
I like it because it's cast iron, although I agree with others that it heats unevenly. It does give you good sear marks. The pre-seasoning works OK, not as well as in my pre-seasoned skillets. I know it will get better with time.
I have yet to find a grill pan that didn't give me problems. I loved my cast aluminum, until the nonstick coating wore off. The ridges in my All-Clad pan are too round to get good marks and because it's nonstick, I can't use high heat. This one, dare I say, is the best of the bunch. The only two materials I haven't tried are enameled cast iron and anodized aluminium.
If you're looking for an average product that will last forever, this is it. I'm not sure perfection exists in a grill pan.
