The result is the best steak I have ever cooked indoors. It beats any electric grill I have ever used, and it beats the George Foreman grill hands down. I would say that the results are almost restaurant quality. I look forward to cooking hamburgers within the next day or so.
I think this would work better with slightly less thick cuts of meat. Even at high heat it took longer than it would have taken on a grill. During the cooking I put a metal lid over the pan to control splattering.
I think it will be a breeze to clean. Oiling it after cleaning, with the ridges, will be a little more work than for smoother surfaces.
Because the ridges are so high, the grill does a great job of cooking away from the fat, and probably (my guess) does even a better job than the George Foreman grill in that regard.
Pans like this pay for themselves. This pan is about the cost of a dinner for two, and it will result in less eating out.
Update: I cleaned the pan after making the steak. It was more difficult to clean than other cast iron pans due to the ridges, however, I think I need to find a different tool to clean it with. Someone recommended a grill pad or brush. Also, I usually put the pan over enough heat to evaporate any water from cleaning, and then apply a thin amount of oil. This was also harder. I think it will get better with practice. In any case, the results were worth it.
I will be trying burgers and pork chops soon, so stay tuned!
Update: I cooked pork chops tonight on this grill, and they are the best pork chops I have ever had in my life. I let the pan heat up, and usually also have the electric burner on high heat when adding the meat. I then turn it down a bit. The cast iron doesn't cool off, and it sears the juices in. I have found that a metal cover over the grill works well to keep in splatters and heat. Another thing that is helpful is a temperature fork, which told me tonight that the chops were at 180 degrees, otherwise I would have overcooked them.
This is by far the best money that I have spent on cooking equipment, and it will definitely save a lot of $$$ because I will treat myself to excellent home-cooked meals more often.
I considered the George Foreman grill, which typically gets good reviews and is a perfectly valid choice, but many versions of it to consider, some with removable grills to clean and some (sigh) not, different sizes (2 burgers, 4, "family size", etc.), not expensive but not cheap, usually has non-stick finish, etc. I like simplicity. I saw various grilling trays and pans that are used atop surface cooking (stoves, etc.), waded through the critically-helpful Amazon reviews, and chose this Lodge grill pan. The negative reviews were things like it rusts (duh, it's iron, iron rusts, and you have to dry it immediately after washing, although you have to know that already or visit Lodge's website to find out, not mentioned in the enclosed instructions, a duh for Lodge), and that food sticks to it (annoying for sure but it's not a non-stick pan so......).
So far, we've made burgers on it a few times, will get to steaks and fish and veggies, but haven't yet.
GOOD:
>RESULTS: Produces extremely consistent results, food always cooked perfectly.
>MORE RESULTS: Rave reviews from my picky son and me.
>EASY: Easy to use
>STURDY: Built of thick cast iron, will certainly outlast me, probably suitable for use in zombie attacks or nuclear war. Also great for defending yourself against bears, creaming your spouse, and that sort of thing. Good, old fashioned, last forever stuff.
>DRAINS GREASE: The raised ribs in the bottom keep the food up and let grease drain away from it, which I think makes for more healthy and less-messy results. There are spouts formed on both sides to tip and drain, they work okay, only minimal dripping down the outside that would be bad (going into the flame).
>LINES: Many other reviewers thought that the best feature or a very important feature is that the ribs in the bottom create the blackened lines in the food that show that it was grilled, as if it were done on an outdoor "real" grill. I guess this is nice, but I am surprised that so many people thought this was so important, more so even than how the food tastes, etc.
NOT GOOD (not "bad" to me but not "good"):
>UNDERSTAND IT BEFORE USING: Before using, go to the Lodge website as the enclosed directions suggest to see some important directions that frankly should be at least summarized in the enclosed directions. You either have to be experienced with cast iron cookware or go to the web site or you will have some disappointments.
>CAUTION! - HANDLE GETS VERY HOT WHEN COOKING AND THE PAN AND HANDLE STAY HOT FOR A WHILE AFTER COOKING. This is inherent, it's one big piece of metal, so heat is conducted to the handle and the heavy mass holds heat a long time, so always use mitts!! If you use mitts, no problems at all. If you forget to use mitts, you'll probably only do it once!
>SOME FOOD STICKING: Although it arrives factory "seasoned" (see the Lodge website for procedure, it's covering the pan surface with oil and baking it into the metal) and I also oil it after washing (per website instructions) and again before and with cooking, yes, food can and probably will stick. I suspect that the burgers we've done so far would be about the worst case because the ground meat can pull away and stick to the pan more easily than, say, a steak or veggies, but after burgers I usually have to do a little light scraping or use a metallic scouring pad (preferably the kind without soap, which can ruin the oil "seasoning" of the metal). No really tough deposits, no chisel needed, but they definitely will not just rinse off or even sponge off, some scraping needed. Hey, it's not non-stick, and even our stainless steel pans usually have some sticking, get over it. NOTE: The Lodge website and/or Amazon reviewers sometimes note to not use a metal scraper or it will damage the finish, and do not use soap or it will ruin the "seasoned"/oiled treatment. They are correct about cooking heat sterilizing any residue so no germ worries. But, (1.) the "seasoning" and oiling has not stopped food sticking, so I'm not terribly worried about washing away the oil that does very little under best of circumstances, (2.) I'm okay with using a strong plastic scraper instead of metal, but the precious "finish" is not polished, etc., in the first place, and I do try to be gentle with a metal scraper, not chiseling but just knocking food deposits off, and, (3.) aside from germs and sterilization, I just don't like the food quality / taste and esthetic perceptions from leaving blackened deposits of previous foods on when I cook the next thing. If I want blackened, tar-like residue on my food I'll use the outdoor grill!! Even our polished stainless steel (not non-stick) pans have food sticking, it's annoying but not a big deal, and worth the price to cook without potentially unhealthy non-stick coatings. There may be foods or cooking techniques or cast iron products that do not result in food sticking, but I suspect the problem is inherent, as it is with anything that is not non-stick-coated, and all the stuff about seasoning and using only velvet gloves to remove stuck food is an "in" ritual thing or a diversion from the problem. Just deal with it and do the best you can, or (sigh) use only non-stick cookware.
>CAN RUST: Yes, it rusts if you soak it with water for a time or forget to dry it IMMEDIATELY after washing. Easy enough, just know it and remember, no problems.
>GREASE CAPACITY: As at least one other reviewer noted, the ribs in the bottom are not that deep so it does not take much grease or oil accumulation before the food is sitting in it. It's not bad but not generous. Sometimes I pour out the accumulated oil, if I can do it without spilling out the food as well and have an assistant to wipe off any that drips down the outside where it is exposed to open flame. Again, imperfect but do-able.
Overall, I love it, good results, a little more cleaning and maintenance work than we spoiled, modern people like, but not bad.
