What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Lodge Square Grill Pan for its exceptional quality and ability to deliver authentic indoor grilling results. The pan is highly valued for its superior heat retention, which ensures excellent searing and locks in meat juices. Its pre-seasoned surface offers immediate usability, and the robust construction suggests a durable, long-term investment. The main drawback noted by users is the cleaning process; the deep ridges required for perfect grill marks make scrubbing tedious. Additionally, high-heat use often generates significant smoke, requiring good ventilation. Despite these maintenance challenges, the superior cooking performance and overall value make this a highly recommended specialty tool for dedicated cast iron users.
Know before you buy
Yes, this pan arrives pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, so it is ready for immediate use. Over time, the seasoning will continue to improve and become more non-stick with regular cooking.
Absolutely. Because it is made of solid cast iron, it is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and halogen stoves.
The raised ridges serve two purposes: they create authentic sear marks on your food and elevate ingredients above the surface, allowing excess grease and fat to drain away into the channels.
Yes, this pan is highly versatile and can safely transition from your stovetop to the oven, an outdoor grill, or even directly over a campfire.
To maintain the seasoning, hand wash the pan with warm water and a stiff brush, avoiding harsh detergents. After washing, dry it thoroughly and apply a very light coat of oil before storing to prevent rust.
No, this pan is made entirely of cast iron and is completely free of PFAS and other synthetic non-stick coatings. Its non-stick properties are developed naturally through the seasoning process.
