America's Test Kitchen

"I tested a whole lineup of cast-iron grill pans, and these were the winners, by Lodge and Borough Furnace. Both do a great job of searing flavorful char marks on burgers, vegetables, fish, grilled cheese, and panini. Their wide-spaced and well-defined ridges are easy to clean, too." -LM

This tray-shaped pan was handsome and easy to use. It arrived with a well-seasoned surface that released food and cleaned up easily and tall, well-defined ridges that produced excellent grill marks. At the end of extensive testing, it still looked new.

The Lodge Pre-Seasoned is another great choice for those in the market for a cast iron grill pan. It heats evenly and quickly, placing a fine sear on everything we tested in it. Like the other cast irons, it is oven-safe and can withstand the use of metal utensils without damage. It's also the most inexpensive pan we had the pleasure of testing.
Cast iron must be hand-washed, and the ridges in this pan cling to grease, a common complaint for cast iron grill pans. For those that need a pan that makes attractive grill marks and won't cost you too much, the Lodge Pre-Seasoned pan is a fantastic option.
