Great addition to grilling.,

This review is from: Tom Douglas by Pinzon 2-Piece Stainless-Steel Grill-Wok with Removable Lid (Kitchen)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The Tom Douglas grill pan is wonderful for grilling small items together on the grill. You can cut up veggies, place them in the pan and they are done in less than five minutes. The dish my guests liked best made in this pan was shrimp and summer vegtables grilled together and then served over pasta. No more making little shish ka bobs which is time consuming. Just add shrimp and vegetables in a bowl with a little olive oil and then toss into stainless grill pan and you are finished making entire dish in under 10 minutes. The pan is very sturdy and well made. The cover that fastens securely lets you toss contents of pan as much as you would like.It is a pan that will inspire you to become creative. As luck would have it, my stovetop failed just before I received the pan. The Pinzon 2 piece stainless grill top frying pan with removable lid was a life saver while I was in process of replacing the stove. I used it to grill some fruit to mix with yogurt and granola for breakfast, yummy!
If you purchase this pan you will not be sorry, thats for sure!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
When Amazon is nice enough to send me a Vine product for review, I hate to complain about it. But this pan was a disappointment.
The design is nicely done: - the mesh of the pan body is fine enough to hold in pretty much anything (even popcorn), while still allowing heat and smoke to permeate - the lid is high enough to accommodate a whole bell pepper or large Spanish onion, if you somehow wanted to roast one - the lid detaches completely for cleaning, or to use the pan as an open stir fry - the long handle will keep fingers (or, rather, forearms) away from hot grill parts - there are four thicker steel rods and a metal ring supporting the bottom of the pan, not just mesh (much preferred if you want to put drippy things down on an outdoor surface). - The lid handle and hinge make it easy to refill and rearrange things in the pan. The execution of the pan I recieved, however, was miserable: - One of the four support rods under the pan was welded so poorly it had come loose during shipping - A narrow metal plate that is attached to reinforce the handle was attached off-center, leaving a sharp exposed edge - The mesh had one strand that must have come loose as the material was being woven, because it was rippled and twisted and generally out of place (if you've ever gotten corn in a crazy ear, you know what I'm talking about). Amazon has a money-back guarantee, and the Vine items are probably the first ones off the production line (before all the bugs are worked out), so if you really want this pan don't let the problems discourage you. But be prepared take a gamble.

This review is from: Tom Douglas by Pinzon 2-Piece Stainless-Steel Grill-Wok with Removable Lid (Kitchen)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I was actually surprised by the high quality of this product, since grill woks are like the bastard child of outdoor cookery. I was expecting something of cheap quality, like most grill woks tend to be. But this gadget is of very high quality and will please any grill wok enthusiast (are there any out there?).
First, it feels much heavier than it looks. The wires are strong and do not bend and warp. The spacing of the mesh is sufficient enough to not allow most things to fall through. The metal used on the rim and handles is strong and feels solid. I think that's the defining character of the item - it feels SOLID, despite just being a wire mesh. It will last a long time. The mesh lid is attached to the bottom part by a hinge at the helper handle. And there is a spring latch on the main handle that locks the lid down. It works very well and again, feels solid. The wok works well enough on the grill. The metal does tend to discolor and get s dark, but how can you not expect it to over a charcoal fire? And of course, use a pot holder when handling it, since the handle will get hot. It's not nonstick (thankfully), but it does mean that a few items tend to stick. If you preheat the wok and then use some spray oil, you'll avoid major disasters. Use a wire brush for cleaning.
