What customers say
Customers highly value the Lodge L10GPL Grill Pan for its superior performance and rugged, American-made quality, viewing it as a lifetime kitchen investment. Reviewers consistently praise its excellent heat retention and even distribution, which reliably produces authentic, deep grill marks and perfect searing. The factory pre-seasoning allows for immediate use.

Despite these maintenance factors, the overwhelming consensus is that the professional-grade indoor grilling performance makes the minor inconveniences worthwhile.
Know before you buy
The pan comes pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, which creates a natural, easy-release finish. While it is not a chemical non-stick coating, proper maintenance and regular seasoning will make it increasingly non-stick over time.
Yes, the cast iron construction is fully compatible with induction stovetops, as well as gas, electric, and halogen ranges.
The best way to clean the ridges is to use a stiff nylon brush or a specialized pan scraper while the pan is still warm. Avoid using harsh detergents or putting it in the dishwasher, as these can strip the seasoning.
Yes, the pan is oven-safe up to 500°F. Its integrated cast iron handles are designed to withstand high heat, though you should always use heat-resistant mitts when handling.
The dual-handle design provides better balance and stability when lifting the 8.65-pound pan. It also makes the pan more compact, allowing it to fit more easily into standard ovens and storage cabinets.
No, the pan arrives pre-seasoned and ready for immediate use. However, continuing to season it after each wash will help maintain its performance and prevent rust.
