 Buy this pan, but only in the color BLACK July 4, 2008

I live in the city, and don't have access to a grill. This pan makes perfect steakhouse grill lines on your pan. Just heat it really, really hot -- to the point of smoking -- on your stove first. Then turn on your broiler to High. Throw on a steak and shove it under the broiler. Two minutes later, rotate the steak 45 degrees. Flip steak and repeat. Professional gourmet steakhouse steak- I swear.
But this pan will get oil splatters on it that will turn black under high heat circumstances. Are you going to spend 3 hours scrubbing every nook and cranny with baking soda and a scotch brite? No! I won't either. So I live with the black oil stains, and take them as badges of honor for all of the previous delicious meals past.
However, I'm slightly OCD - and the black spots do bug me. I recommend this pan highly, just get the black color. You won't see any stains, and you'll just love this thing.
For panini fans: Get the panini press which fits with this perfectly.
The perfect San Francisco panini: Get a French roll, slice down the middle and slather the insides with olive oil. Lay on a few slices of prosciutto, a few roasted red peppers packed in water or oil (from your deli or condiments section of the grocery store), and a few generous slices of mozzarella. Sprinkle sandwich with a little salt. Grill in pan on medium heat until the first side is golden. Flip sandwich. Adjust heat so that when the second side turns golden, the mozzarella is just starting to melt. Bite into heaven.

I agree with the other review. You need to KICK GEORGE GOOD-BYE!!! Since I have bought this George went bye-bye. He went in the away and will not be back. This is a great product. I love it!!! Makes great steak, panini with the press, veggies, etc. This is a must have LC product.
 Takes a long time to cook and very hard to clean November 22, 2006

I actually have this skillet and the smaller square grill pan as well. I use this one more for light grilling a sandwich, whereas I've used the smaller one more to actually cook meat on. As another reviewer states, it takes quite a long time to cook something like a chicken breast or a steak. It does turn out good but as also stated, it caused a lot of smoke as well. Thats because the bottom of the grill gets all the juices and they burn while the meat slowly cooks. Since the grill edges are so high and wide, I don't believe it gets enough heat (unlike a fire grill). I also don't go over medium setting. The other annoying thing with this is how difficult it is to clean. Plan to spend time with a brush. It is not non-stick at all. I would rather use my old cast iron skillet to cook meat on, and use these for more regular cooking or light grilling. So for the price, I can't really recommend this skillet. I do love Le Creuset's porcelain enameled cookware however. That is the best.

Don't let the high price tag and the cast iron thing scare you away from this great product. It's not your mother's cast iron of stuck-on messes and rust in your food. It's very easy to season, and from there it works great. We've been able to cook everything from salmon, to buffalo, to pineapples with no sticking.
Unlike it's predecessor, the George Foreman grill, it cooks many kind of foods beautifully without drying it out or sticking. The key...temperature control. Since it works with your stove, you can control the amout of heat you need.
Also, having a wee kitchen, it's nice not to have another appliance taking up valuable counter space.
One of the best features is the lifetime warranty. And they mean it too. My friend had a Le Creuset teapot that rusted out and they sent her a replacement for free.
Sure it's pricey, but you get what you pay for with this pan.
You'll eat more veggies and fish! Healthy and tasty! May 25, 2002

Wow, I love this pan! I also live in an apartment, so this is a great substitute for outdoor grilling when you want a quick dinner. It's not as good as the outdoor charcoal grill, but this has some advantages. It's super easy. I use this pan several times a week. I pre-heat the pan, brush a little canola oil to the ribs, and while it warms up to the right temperature, I prepare the food. I cut some veggies (can use zucchini, squash, small eggplant, onions, bell pepper, etc), on the bias, so there's more surface area, toss with olive oil, salt & pepper, and grill. You may have to do several rounds of it if you have lots of veggies. After cooking until just tender, toss with a little balsamic vinegar and olive oil. DELICIOUS!! Also, we've been grilling some great local wild salmon on this pan. It is unbelievable. It is very quick, so don't overcook. Season with salt and pepper, and anything you like. Just practice a couple times, experiment with the temperature and your technique, and you'll see how easy and tasty it is. If you can get some homegrown or organic produce, it's so much more tasty. Simple grilling complements good ingredients.
