Le Creuset 12 2/3-Inch Oblong Skillet Grill, Red
from: Le Creuset
Amazon.com Review:
By squaring this skillet and flaring its sides, famed French cookware manufacturer Le Creuset offers extra cooking room for steaks, fish, burgers, or any food that benefits from stovetop grilling and the caramelized flavor imparted by seared grill marks. The ribs in the grill's bottom not only provide those marks but also elevate foods so that fat collects between them for low-calorie cooking. Because cast iron is unmatched for heat retention and even distribution--no hot spots--foods will cook uniformly in the 10-inch-square grill. Enameled outside with a bright, smooth surface and inside with a black satin-texture finish, this is a heavy, durable grill that works on any stovetop, in the oven, or under a broiler. It's also stylish enough (think French farmhouse kitchen) to bring to the table. Though it's dishwasher-safe, hand washing preserves a patina that builds up with use and aids in the grill's stick resistance. --Fred Brack

- good for cooking, but cleanup is too difficult
I got one of these for Christmas, and while I like cooking with it, it's too much of a hassle to clean... not worth the effort.I cooked some chicken breasts in it a few nights ago, and the drippings that went in between the ribs will NOT come off.they are charred black, and I've tried scraping, scrubbing, boiling water in it, using the "Le Creuset enamel cleaner", all to no avail.Why this pan does not have a non-stick surface is beyond me.I've been soaking and scrubbing this stupid thing ...

Rating: - Love this pan!
Heavy cast iron, this pan sears and grills amazingly well and much better than regular caphalon or nonstick grill pans. Cleans easily by just rinsing under water or fits in the dishwasher. This pan will last you a lifetime just like other Le Creuset products so it's a great investment and addition to your kitchen arsenal!
Rating: - Nice Pan, Glad I Bought It
This is the first Le Creuset product I have purchased and I am very happy with it. I've used it several times and gotten excellent results, plus I love the grill marks it makes!
There have been some complaints about this pan being hard to clean.The manufacturer warns not to turn the heat too high, brush some oil on the pan after it heats up, and do not move the food too soon after placing it on the grill.I followed these directions and have not had problems.There is food residue ...

Rating: - Cook like a pro
My goodness. I got this out of the box (and washed it) and I immediately started cooking. I cooked hamburgers that tasted and looked like those from a restaurant (not a fast-food joint). Then, I made braised up some veggies. Finally, I made some homemade pasta and cooked the shrimp, garlic, mushrooms, etc in this little baby. Everything tasted so great, and I love the ease of cleaning. Very happy.
