Cooks Standard Hard-Anodized Nonstick 11-inch Square Grill Pan

The first thing that struck me about this pan is how heavy it is. It's made of aluminum, but it's pretty thick and it's got some heft to it. And just like a piece of corrugated metal is stronger than a flat piece of metal of the same gauge, I'm sure the ridges add significant strength to the grill pan. I like the riveted construction of the handle as the handle will never get loose, and although I was skeptical that a metal handle wouldn't get hot, it has proven to be true. The anodized finish is very nice and sticking has not been a problem. I use mine for cooking steaks, and I use a meat thermometer. When the temp hits 110 degrees I remove it and let it rest for five minutes or so on a plate. The internal temp will continue to rise until it hits about 120 degrees and I wind up with a perfect medium rare steak - complete with grill lines. I liked it so well I bought the Cooks Standard Griddle Pan, which uses the same construction minus the ridges, primarily to fry eggs. Put 'em together and you've got steak and eggs, and that always puts a smile on my face. Dunno how durable they'll be, but time will tell. But my initial response is very positive. I will continue to follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and care, and with a moderate amount of TLC I fully expect these pans to last a long time. I like 'em a lot.

In the back of my pantry, I found a brand-new cast iron grill pan that I had forgotten I bought. I had never used cast iron before. I washed it and then went through the crazy process of seasoning the pan with oil in it in the oven for an hour, even though it was supposedly pre-seasoned. JUNK!!! My chicken cutlets stuck and my house was full of smoke. Then, it was a nightmare to even try to clean...I was so sad and disappointed... I then decided I would find a better alternative. I did quite a bit of research, both on Amazon and other sites. I read reviews and watched videos... Finally, I settled on this grill pan and I am so happy I did! This pan is perfect. It cooks everything wonderfully and is very easy to clean. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a grill pan who doesn't want to deal with the prospect of cast iron. Plus, if you really think about it, it's pretty gross that you are not supposed to wash cast iron! Bottom line, if you want a grill pan this one is the best value and quality combination it does what it is supposed to do, is very durable and is super-easy to clean. I love this pan! This is a definite buy!

Love this grill pan! Nonstick surface works well and cleans up nicely. I use it to grill steaks, burgers, and more. It has proven to be indispensable in my kitchen!

Unboxed this today and decided to try some chicken breasts. I usually use a heavy cast iron grill pan but wanted something a little more light weight. I seared the chicken on both sides, then transferred it to a 350 degree oven to finish. Turned out great. Clean up was a breeze. This grossly outperformed the KitchenAid equivalent. I deducted a star because the ridges could stand to be a bit taller to give a more consistent sear pattern - and to keep grease and oil drippings away from food.

Love this grill pan. Grilled our New York Strips perfectly. No sticking, very durable and Easy to clean too!

I loved how the steak turned out! It was super juicy, delicious, and cooked really fast.

I can’t begin to tell you how much I love this pan. It cooks even, it browns the meat to perfection, I spray non stick on the pan before I cook. It cleans with a little soap and sponge. It’s my second one my old pan I bought 2 years works like new.

This is the third time I purchased this pan. (One was a gift to a friend.) First let me say that in about 7 minutes, (3 1/2 minutes on each side, medium-high), you can have the best steak, London Broil, chicken breast, salmon, pretty much any meat, poultry and fish ready to eat. You can use a little cooking spray, if you wish, but it is not necessary for great taste. A little cooking oil is recommended so chicken breast doesn't stick on high heat. You can us a high flame that won't result in smoke and/or burning when you don't use oil, butter or cooking spray. If you choose to use them, your pan (like any other pan) will smoke on high heat. A 1" steak, cooked 3 1/2 minutes on each side, will be medium-rare. Rule of thumb for chicken is 4 minutes for each side, if the cutlet/breast is thick. Most cooks know. I have used teriyaki sauce (or concoctions containing it) with this pan, but I want to let you know you should put sauces on at the last minute, and keep the meat moving, so it doesn't burn. Teriyaki has sugar, which will burn on high heat, for example. I bought another pan so I can cook two, different meats at the same time. Jumbo shrimp come out great also, as does sliced zucchini! Burgers come out so, so good! Chicken cutlet is fabulous when cooked 2 minutes w/o dressing and the last 2 minutes brush with Ranch dressing. You can't go wrong with this pan.

Está excelente, de buen tamaño, no pesa demasiado y no se pega la comida. Por el tamaño puedes preparar al mismo tiempo una pechuga y sus verduras a la plancha. Es fácil de lavar. Estoy encantada
