What customers say
Customers highly value this Lodge cast iron grill pan for its superior heat retention, which delivers excellent searing and professional grill marks indoors. The dual handle design is frequently praised for significantly improving stability and ease of movement, especially given the pan's inherent weight. While the initial seasoning is convenient, ongoing maintenance is key for best results. The primary drawback noted is the difficulty in cleaning residue from the deep grill ridges. Despite this, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive. Reviewers consider this a durable, high-performing kitchen workhorse that offers outstanding long-term value and reliability.
Know before you buy
It arrives pre-seasoned with 100% vegetable oil, so it is ready for immediate use right out of the box.
Yes, this cast iron pan is fully compatible with induction, as well as gas, electric, and oven heat sources.
No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning and prevent rust, you should hand wash it and dry it thoroughly immediately after use.
The integrated dual handles are designed for stability and easy lifting, but because they are cast iron, they will get very hot. Always use heat-resistant oven mitts or handle covers when moving the pan.
No, this model does not feature a grease drainage channel or pour spouts. It is designed with a flat, open surface for consistent heat distribution.
It is naturally nonstick, meaning that with proper seasoning and heat management, food will release easily. However, it functions differently than synthetic coatings and performs best when you use a small amount of oil or fat while cooking.
