Cleaning the pan is an involved process especially if cleaning after cooking things with fat in them. Gently boiling some water in the pan and allowing it to cool before cleaning helped with the process.

Hand wash is recommended to keep your grill wok at its best, maintaining the premium stainless steel finish 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 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.

This isn't your ordinary grill pan

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. The other issue is that while the wood handle retracts for storage, it’s not removable. Foldable but not removable. It’d be okay if you put it on an open grill or campfire, but when you close the lid, the handle gets charred (you can use the handle as charcoal the next time.) Design: We considered the grill grate height and spacing, which played a role in whether or not we were achieving a hard sear or simply steaming our zucchini, pork chops, or burgers. We also considered the height of the pan's sides—higher sides meant less splatter, which gave the pan a better rating. Lastly, we paid attention to the handles, particularly how comfortable they were and how hot they got. 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. Description: Small stainless steel deep grill pan with two carrying handles. The basket is perforated to allow even heat distrubution so the contents cook at an even rate.
