pan grilled

my daily driver is a non-stick but I have different kinds of pots and pans because it's fun to use them all.

and then when you flip you rotate 60º for restaurant-style cross-hatching

I have an enamel cast iron grill pan and I didn't ind I needed to season it, although with use it does get better and better.

You have to be more careful about regulating temperature with enamel, heat it up more slowly than you would an all-metal pan and try to avoid hot/cold spots. You don't want anything to damage or crack the enamel is all.

I'm a big fan. Cooks a little slower than my flat iron but I enjoy the grill lines and also find you can have a very hot pan and it won't burn/oversear the meat right away, so it's slower to cook through even if the raised grills are hotter on the outside.

It's very subjective and I like cooking on both but i have to say I find the grill pan very enjoyable to cook with

they're pretty good †bh, but take a bit of extra care

if you ever pour water into a hot enamel iron pan the enamel will likely crack, don't use it on induction unless you start very low and slowly increase the heat to allow the entire pan to heat up - the point is you need to avoid hot spots as much as possible, you want the whole pan to heat up at the same rate. you don't have to season it per se, but wash it with a plastic brush and hot water, I use a wooden spatula and those cheep wooden forks to scrap the gads out rather than a scour pad

don't exceed 200ºC or it'll start to fall apart

my grill pan cost me $9.50 on sale and I love this little nigga like you wouldn't believe
