Best steaks ever.
At the time I'm writing this, there are three reviews already.
One says it heats up quickly on medium or low heat. Um, no, it heats up pretty slowly, because it's a massive hunk of steel. Only 10 inches though, so you can't fit two T-bones on it, but it fits anywhere. The mass of this grill helps achieve outdoor BBQ style. It's a grill, not a griddle or frypan, so using it on medium heat is counterproductive. Throw it on a High flame for a few minutes before you try to cook. Yes, it will smoke. But you're trying to cook, not worry about air quality!
Another review says things stuck to it because it was not coated. Yes, it is. But things still stick to it because the cast iron surface under the coating was evidently pretty coarse. Oh, well. You don't scrub it with a sponge, you heat it up and plunge it under running water and the "deglazing" will lift off most of the gunk. Give it a scrub with a brush (no soap) and return it to the heat to dry. Total time about 45...
Love This Baby!
Used my grill for the first time tonight. Grilled two good size steaks and added onions and pepper towards the end of grilling. Everything turned out FABULOUS!!
Had no trouble cleaning the grill.
Heated grill for a few minutes on medium/low.
Waiting until drop of water did a little dance.
Turned steak when juices were lying on top/could feel muscle when pressing top/middle of steak. (Don't turn too soon)
Following the above "meat won't stick." After pan cooled for approximately 5 minutes I put water in pan. After soaking for 10 minutes it cleans beautifully with warm water and a nylon pot brush.
After using other grill pans this is a dream. Take the time to read the directions and you will be all set.
The Most Improved Home Grill Pan - Bravo!
I have been grilling on every possible type of grill pan from cast iron, coated and non-coated, aluminum, etc. All bad and all thrown out.
The LeCreuset "Cobalt Blue" round grill pan is the perfect size, shape, weight and the two "helper handles" are great. It cleans like a dream - no fuss, no mess! It heats up fast on a low to medium heat, no house full of smoke. Bravo to Le Creuset! Brilliant - I wouldn't be without it.
