Calphalon Unison Nonstick 12-Inch Round Grill Pan

I'm an outdoor grill cook -big time.I got the Calphalon Grill Pan as a birthday present, and I must admit I wasn't too enthused.Why would you want to pretend to grill indoors, right?

Well, a nice steak and a rainy day gave me the opportunity to try my pan.I cooked the steak over medium heat on an electric range, and the results were fantastic.I ate the tenderest steak I've ever cooked on a stovetop, rivaling the tenderness I get from the grill.Sure, you can't mimic the flavor of cooking on an outdoor grill, but the look (grill marks) and tenderness were identical. I got a slightly sauteed taste because I had a trace of butter and oil in the pan -enough to make a thin layer coating the bottom. The taste was definitely different from an outdoor grill, but regardless the meat tasted excellent.I seasoned it just like I would for the grill before cooking.

Being a natural skeptic, but enthused by the results with the steak, I decided to try the pan again cooking boneless chicken breasts.Same results!Super tender, juicy, and great looking meat came out of the pan.I'm sold.This is the pan for me when cooking grill meat indoors.

The secret to nonstick is to let the pan heat up fully over medium heat (no higher) before putting the meat in the pan.Putting a little butter and oil in the pan, and waiting until the butter turns golden brown lets you know when the pan is ready to use. Soaking the pan in warm water immediately after cooking makes for easy cleanup.Enjoy!

I have tried numerous grill pans from brands like Cuisinart and Emerilware (and some other crap brand i can't think of).All of these were lacking for one of the following reasons: bad size, not dish washersafe, general crappiness.This grill pan suffers none of these issues.Dishwasher safe being of particular importance.Everyone knows philyodaddy doesn't do handwashing.Hand washing is about as much fun as scrubbing toilets and drinking Genessee Cream Ale.

In summation, I'd say its the finest piece of cookware I have purchased to date.At the low, low price of $39.99 (I see now it is $49.99 and still great value!), I should have bought two of these bad boys.It may surprise some of my review readers, but I am a wizard with meat and this brings my kitchen game up to the next level.I cooked the crap out of some nice lamb chops yesterday.If I had any friends, they would have loved them.

Buy Calphalon Unison Nonstick 12-Inch Round Grill Pan Now

I purchased this pan because I love to grill but I'm not always in the mood to fire up the Weber outdoors.Having used it now for a couple of months, I have to say that I absolutely love this thing.I've grilled chicken cutlets, chops, burgers, bacon, and steak and everything turned out great. The pan is large, made of solid construction, heats uniformly, and is easy to clean.The design allows the meat to cook above the grease and the grill lines on the cooked meat are impressive.With chicken and chops, I use a light coat of olive oil and have had no difficulty with clean-up with a sponge and some dishwashing liquid.Just follow the instructions, bring it to heat gradually and let it cool completely before putting it in water so it won't warp.The pan looks as good as the day I took it out of the box.I'm now a big fan of Calphalon Unison and also purchased the Unison nonstick saute pan.A great value for the price in my opinion.

I have had Calphalon cookware for 20 years. It has never disappointed and this line is no different. I bought this pan to do Bison steaks and burgers and it is fabulous. Last night I had done a few onions in the pan first and then the burgers so it was pretty well carmelized down in the grooves and really a mess. I thought there was no way this was coming clean in the dishwasher. Well it did!! Pristinely clean like new. My old Calphalon grill pan without the nonstick surface is going to Goodwill today.

Furthermore, if you don't know it Calphalon is one of the rare companies left in America that actually stands by their guarantees. I have had several pans replaced over the years because of the kind of stove I have. When they say "lifetime guarantee", they mean it!

I received my Grill Pan for Christmas and wanted to make sure i used it several times before posting a review. I had high hopes for this pan as i love grilling out but my apartment does not allow grills. I was not disappointed. I have used this pan well over 10 times and so far have no signs of damage or scratches.I do wash this in the dish washer though i am careful that noting is going to rub against it when i do.

It holds its heat well and evenly. It provides that beautiful grilled look and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it seared meat. I normally use a cast iron skillet for searing as most non stick pans just dont get the job done well. This one did a great job and is oven safe so after searing just pop it in the oven to finish off the meat.

I would highly recommend this Pan to anyone looking for a grill pan.
