Specialties Nonstick Round Grill Pan (12-in.) by All-Clad

I have a flat electric cooktop, so the ridges on the bottom of the pan wouldn't have worked well. I didn't realize they were there from the site description. Plus, I hated the handle, so I returned the pan without using it.

This pan wa advertised as made in USA and I will pay the premium proce for the USA quality. I ordered 2 and sent them back made in China and not of particularly good quality - a made in China pan of this quality should sell for 155 dollars and even at that price, I would not buy. Check out Calphalon they have a better grill pan and made in Ohio. Good old USA pride!!!! But be careful even with Calphalon, a lot of their goods are also coming from China. In addition to the human rights and environmental issues, with their lack of quality control, I just cant imagine putting food in my body that was cooked on a made in China non stick surface. No telling what all chemicals are in it.

Seems as though All Clad is trying to boost profits at the expense of quality. This pan is fine and wasn't ridiculously priced like some All Clad - some of which we paid for anyway because they used to have an edge on quality, weight or features. This pan for $50 is lighter than a lesser priced grill pan from competitors and has no real benefit over them. Shop smart and don't feel you have to own the "best" name always - there are better products for your money in many cases.

It's heavier than it looks--a good thing--and is extremely useful. Clean up is fairly easy, although you must be careful to clean the place where the ridge meets the bottom of the pan.

I have over 7 pieces of actual All Clad cookware (which are of superior quality) and many All Clad accessories BUT this grill pan is just not great. I cooked steaks and pork chops and was unable to get grill marks...I bought a Le Creuset

You are not going to taste charcoal flavor but you get good color and taste anyway. I use this pan for vegetables all the time, and for meat when a grill is not available. It is very good for chicken and fish. Beef is better on the outside grill - but when I don't have one available I'd much rather have this. Use it for vegetables for sure!

Great for apartmant living for inside grilling. Easy clean up

Love my new grill pan! Large size very useful. I would DEFINITELY recommend this product.

The pan is great. It works well and is easy to clean. It is also too big for the burners on my stove, making it inefficient,and also difficult to store

I found this pan to be exactly what I was searching for. The deep inset is fabulous for stove top cooking. Great for grilling chicken and burgers. very easy to clean, and easy on the wrists.

Easy to handle; easy to clean; no oil needed to grill

Great pan!

I like the product. I, however, DO NOT like the service! I placed the order and had to wait two weeks before the product arrived.

My husband, who does all the grilling, really likes this pan. It seems to work quite well. He just ordered a Calphalon grill pan, which was rated higher by Cooks Illustrated, so we'll get to compare them. That's the reason I checked 4 above rather than 5 at this point. While we do entertain, most of our cooking is family-oriented, for the two of us. We haven't used this pan for a large group yet.

It has already become an essential part of my kitchen.

I love All-Clad Limited cookware in general; there is nothing better in the saucepan and dutch oven categories -- wonderfully even heat and easy to clean. I have some reservations about their non-stick products, and we'll see if this one holds up. I know rivets are supposed to be a sign of good cookware, but in a non-stick pan they are in the way. Even if covered with non-stick surface, they just don't work in the same way as the rest of the pan and over time become hard to clean. They also lose their non-stick quality if used at a too-high heat; oil forms sticky coating over the non-stick surface, melding with it. I haven't yet found a way to completely clean and restore the non-stick surface.

For this grill pan, the rivets are out of the way of the cooking surface, so I don't expect that to be a problem. I'm still waiting to see if we have problems with the non-stick finish over time. But my initial reaction is that it does an admirable job grilling steak and I'm looking forward to trying fish when I get brave. (I normally poach fish.)

It's nice to have another saute pan to add to my supply, particularly one that is non-stick and leaves such lovely grill marks. I recommend it, particularly when you get such a good price as I did at cooking.com

I've had a cast iron grill pan for years but it's a pain to clean between the grooves. This pan is not only a breeze to clean but also distributes heat very well.

While this pan is teflon coated, like most better teflon pans, it's non-stick but not as easy to clean as cheap coated pans. The thicker, rougher coating is *easier* to clean, but things do not slide off like they do on a cheapy pan. This is to be expected on most any higher quality non-stick product.

I'm not sure this pan would be great for a flat cooktop as the bottom surface is also ridged and would not have full contact with a flat cooktop - I have gas and it works great.

The All-Clad 12 inch Nonstick Round Grill Pan is easily described by the word excellent. It is a dream to cook with and I am very satisfied with it in every way.

Quality product, lite easy to use evenly distributes heat, a jewel of the kitchen.
