Best Grill Pans of 2023, Tested by Experts - Good Housekeeping 8 Best Grill Pans of 2023, Tested by Experts - Good Housekeeping

We found that using this pan required some trial and error to figure out where the "sweet spot" was in terms of heat. Once you've figured it out, it makes beautiful char marks on whatever you're cooking, from steaks to French toast. Renu Dhar is a recipe tester and developer, personal chef, and culinary instructor. She recommended the Our Place Hot Grill after testing it for weeks in her own kitchen. 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. But why buy a grill pan when you could easily cook your food in your everyday pans? In addition to creating perfect sear marks, the ridges on grill pans help keep your food elevated above its natural juices and fats, which delivers a less greasy result than some other cooking methods. Looking for a pan that's also cute enough to be a kitchen centerpiece? This Le Creuset pan is made of durable enameled cast iron, has a convenient handle with an opposing loop handle for easy handling, high ridges for deep sear marks, sloped sides for better grilling and a pour spout. Plus, it comes in a variety of rich, glossy colors like teal and bright orange.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. Though this a large pan that will fit over two burners in some kitchens, we weren't quite able to fit it over two burners during testing in our Lab. Since we had to center the grill pan over a single burner, we noted that heat was concentrated in the center of the grill, with cooler zones on the edges. We were able to achieve defined grill marks on grilled cheese and zucchini, and created consistent marks and browning on pork chops and burgers. With a pretty solid performance and an affordable price (remember, you get two cooking surfaces), this one is worth every penny. Save kitchen space with this incredibly versatile yet compact two-in-one pan. We love that this reversible, cast iron grill pan can not only create signature sear marks, but also has a griddle surface on the other side for eggs, pancakes and anything else you’d want to pan-sear. Donna Currie, a seasoned food writer, cookbook author, and recipe developer, has tested hundreds of products for us over the past seven years. She personally reviewed the Lodge Pro-Grid Reversible Grill/Griddle and reports regular updates on its long-term wear. You can also soak the pan in hot water and add a little bit of soap to release stubborn bits if you're struggling to get it fully clean.

Opt for a health grill if you’re looking to cook more healthily, but the ridges on a grill pan mean they’re healthier than using a frying pan. The deep ridges stop meat from cooking in its own fat and imparts a smokey flavour. How to cook steak with a grill pan You’ll find grill pans in a wide range of shapes and sizes, so it’s important to consider your needs. While bigger might seem better for times when you’re serving guests, a larger pan will also take up more storage space.

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. Size and shape: The size and shape of your grill pan will not only determine how much food you’re able to cook at once, but also how heavy and how easy it is to maneuver. Some grill pans are large enough for two burners, which is great if you’re wanting to cook a lot of food at once, but these longer pans are prone to getting very hot and smoking, which can likely make your smoke alarm go off. The large size also makes them more difficult to clean. Round pans distribute heat more evenly, but you lose surface area. Square pans will afford you more cooking space, yet the edges typically don’t get as hot or heat as evenly as a round pan. If you’re tight on space and want a pan that has the most to offer, you can also consider a dual-sided grill pan with a griddle side for additional cooking options. Handles: The material and fit of a grill pan’s handle will affect how easy it is to use the pan. Cast iron handles will get super hot, so always handle with heat protection. Metal and plastic handles typically stay cool to the touch, though the latter is likely not oven-safe. Some grill pans have two handles on both sides, which is nice if the pan is super heavy, though some only have one handle, making them slightly more difficult to clean and maneuver. That said, some grill pans offer no handles, so if swift handling is important to you, it might be best to steer clear of these options.
