in-home grilling
I put this on my gift registry because I was replacing an electric panini press and it has been better than I expected. We use it for everything: grilling meat, vegetables, sandwiches, etc. Using it with the small press is also great. We use a little plastic scrub pad and a cotton cloth to clean out the grooves - no problem.

Fantastic Grill Pan!
We live in an apartment and don't have grill, so this is the next best thing. It is heavy duty, great quality. I really love cooking on this pan, I just really don't love cleaning it. It recommends cleaning with a wire brush...which I don't have yet.

Awesome!
I used to think cast iron was 'old fashioned' (my granny used cast iron). Cast iron has been around for generations because it works! Cooks evenly--cleaning becomes easier after use. Steel wool works great for cleaning. Never put in dishwaher. Designed well. Love the second handle and large cooking surface. Cast Iron + gas cook top = winning combination! Will last a lifetime.

Love it
This grill pan was given to use as a wedding gift, and serves well for sausages, burgers, steaks etc - particularly seeing as we don't have a balcony to our apartment so can't have a regular outdoor grill. Given that it's cast iron I know it will require some additional care throughout the years, but it's also one of those gifts which hopefully should last us a lifetime.

Sturdy and functional griddle
This heavy duty cast iron griddle has perfectly seared filet mignons in my kitchen and served as my go to pan for paninis.

Best gift ever!
One of my favorite pans! The flavor of your foods is way better than any regular fry pan. Easy to sear tuna, chicken, and makes the best steaks!

Cooks evenly
We received this cast iron as a gift, and have been enjoying grilling burgers and pork chops. Once heated, the pan cooks very well and evenly. The smoke always sets off the smoke detector in our living room (!), so we have to make sure all the windows and doors are open when we grill in the kitchen.

Great pan
Rather heavy and try to avoid getting anything stuck in the groves. Other than that I know this pan will last my lifetime.

Absolutely worth it for year-round indoor grilling
We received this as a wedding gift, and it's wonderful. Although a bit heavy and difficult to clean, it grills items quickly and evenly. Just make sure to rub all of the surface with some olive oil before cooking to minimize food getting stuck to the pan.

great grill pan
This a great grill pan. Have tried George Foreman, Cuisinart Griddler and more and this is the only grill pan that my husband and I prefer. Heats evenly, cooks wonderfully and is great for apartment living. Only downsides are, as others have mentioned, the heavy weight of the cast iron and the need for occasional re-seasoning. Still, its the best!

Nice griddle
Cast iron is great, you just have to be ready to season the iron occasionally to make it easier to use. All in all, I really like this griddle. My biggest issue with it is that it is too heavy for me to easily lift with one hand. When I am doing stovetop cooking with a pan or griddle, that is important to me.

Great Grill
As with anything that is cast iron you pay for great results. This is an awsome pan that grills very evenly..cleaning up is a diffent story.

Forget the Grill
I initially purchased this grill pan because i was living in a condo and i didn't have a grill. now i have a grill, and i never use it. Honestly, i can make the best steaks, burgers & more on this pan with little or no effort. Its also great in the winter when you don't feel like standing outside in the cold next to the grill. Seriously, there is nothing like cast iron.

The only grill pan you will ever need.
This is an outstanding grill pan. It has all the benefits that cast iron offers like superior heat retention and a nearly indestructible durability. It's large so cooking up a few steaks or chicken breasts is no problem. All in all, it's a great grill pan and with proper care it is the only grill pan you will ever need.
I like to use my grill pan on... the grill. For those things I am worried about slipping through the grates, like veggies, I'll use the grill pan on the grill. This is a great grill pan and definitely worth the money. An enameled version would cost 3-4 times more and wouldn't even offer better performance.

Indoor BBQ
Love this Pan! We use it whenever we don't have time to fire up the BBQ outside. Makes a great Filet Mignon but can also do a nice Hot Dog when the kids ask. Works well to create grill lines on our Skirt Steak before we stuff it and put it in the oven to finish cooking. Washes up well with a lite wash with soap & water and ready for use again.

A lot of work
I bought this as a christmas gift and it turned out to be more trouble. Everything sticks to the pan and my boyfriend mother has followed the instructions on how to use it to a T and even downlaoded additional information on cast iron on line and everything still sticks. She said it is getting a little better with each use but it has been months and still not easy to use.
