5.0 out of 5 stars Although 'Cook's Illustrated' gave the 'Simply Calphalon' its highest rating,..., January 6, 2006

This review is from: Anolon Advanced 12-Inch Shallow Round Grill Pan (Kitchen)

Anolon 'Advanced' is the much higher quality, and, for some quirky reason, is priced $15 less than the Calphalon! I pan-grilled some filet mignon steaks (am savoring them now) and was impressed at the signature 'sear marks'. Cleanup is a breeze and reviewers should note that the Anolon 'Advanced' line has not been plagued with the shedding of the non-stick coating (as both the 'Commercial' and 'Simply Calphalon' lines have been).

This will not take the place of an outdoor grill, but it does bring a taste of summer into the cold winter months. 'Cook's Illustrated' also gave the Anolon 'Advanced' 12" Deep Covered Grill Pan high marks, but this shallower, non-covered grill pan is $25 less and besides, who covers a grill pan when it is grilling anyway?

PS: I'm glad I 'recycled' my 10+ pound Lodge, cast-iron grill to my weight-lifting son for Christmas! :o)

First a little background. I rarely review products, I'm a very good cook and I've cooked professionally in several restaurants.

The analon grill pan is as good as it gets for stove top grilling. That being said it, like all the others it doesn't give you anything close to an outdoor grilled flavor. However, if used properly, it gives you several advantages of grilling: cooking above the fat, grill marks, and a slight grilled flavor.

Using the pan properly is key. I preheat the pan at a strong medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, lightly coat the items I'm grilling with olive oil--rather than the pan, or a marinade/vinagrette, and deglaze the pan afterwards. I also fill the pan with water right after grilling and have had no trouble at all cleaning it later on.

I've grilled chicken, beef, pork, frozen shrimp and vegetables. I flattened (pounded) the chicken and pork as I think quick grilling best for this sort of appliance, but that's only speculation.

Using a grill pan may make for healthier pan cooking. There's concern now with the carcinogenic aspects of browning and carbonization in fat; since a grill pan lifts the food above the fat it causes less carbonization than does pan frying and therefore less carcinogens.

So, as long as you're not expecting true grilled flavor, you can't go wrong with this pan.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little disappointed!, March 12, 2007

I just received this grill pan, and used it 3 times in the first week to cook steaks and pork chops. The pan heats quickly and evenly. It looks great. It's heavy and appears to be well made. The non-stick claim is a bit of a stretch, however. The meat is easly removed from the raised cooking surface, but the small pieces of fat, seasoning, and meat juices get stuck in the crevices. It takes me a couple of minutes to scrape off the debris, even using a special non-stick scouring sponge. I have many other non-stick products that are almost clean after just rinsing alone. I like the pan, but I'm considering returning it, so I can try another product that might require less work.
