Description: Small stainless steel deep grill pan with two carrying handles. The basket is perforated to allow even heat distrubution so the contents cook at an even rate. Design: We considered the grill grate height and spacing, which played a role in whether or not we were achieving a hard sear or simply steaming our zucchini, pork chops, or burgers. We also considered the height of the pan's sides—higher sides meant less splatter, which gave the pan a better rating. Lastly, we paid attention to the handles, particularly how comfortable they were and how hot they got. The clasps at the handle are easy to engage and disengage with the pan holes. They don’t accidentally open while shaking or flipping the pan. No, they don’t shut like a clamshell. But they stay together well enough when you grab the handles. You’ll need grill gloves or potholders to attach/detach the handle when the pan sits on the grill. Affordable: Offers a high level of quality for its price, even worth more than its price tag suggests. Donna Currie is a food writer and product tester for The Spruce Eats.

Comes with a removable handle, making it versatile for use on the stovetop, in the oven, or on the grill. Its large 28cm diameter grills a generous amount of fish, meat and veggies, so you can cook up a feast for the whole family We found it to be a pretty solid performer when it came to making pronounced grill marks on grilled cheese and pork chops (even producing some nice crust on the edges of the meat). We also liked that the silicone cover made it easy to grab the pan's handle when we needed to move it, keeping your hands safe from the heat. And, as one of the larger grill pans, it can easily handle up to five servings of food without crowding. If the Lodge double-burner grill is a little too large for your needs, you can get the same performance with this 10.5-inch cast iron grill pan, also by Lodge. Constructed of a durable steel and carbon alloy, this heavy-duty pan is nearly indestructible and retains heat extremely well—though as with all cast iron, you'll need to turn down the heat once it comes to temp. The golden rule of griddling is to oil the food, not the pan. There's no point adding oil to the pan, as it'll drain away between the ridges.

One of the best things about barbecuing is the distinct flavour that comes with flame-cooking your favourite meat and veg. The little holes in the surface of the pan let the flames through, so you can enjoy flame-kissed food with that desired smoky flavour, and the convenience of cooking in a pan. How evenly the pans heated: Ideally, we wanted to ensure you could achieve the same level of grilling across the entire surface, especially with larger pans whose edges were further away from the heat source. Pans that achieved consistent grill marks no matter where we set our food got the highest marks. Small design features matter a lot: As we were cooking, we found that a few extra millimeters of grate height can lead to better final dish. Additionally, since most of these are heavier pieces of cookware, you need to have a well-balanced, ergonomic handle that either doesn't get hot, or is large enough to comfortably grip with an oven mitt or kitchen rag.Hand wash is recommended to keep your grill wok at its best, maintaining the premium stainless steel finish Our Lab team has spent collective decades working in professional kitchens, developing recipes, and testing kitchen gear.
