KitchenAid Enameled Cast Iron Square Grill and Roasting Pan

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought the KitchenAid 11 inch Enameled Cast Iron Grill Pan would be a great addition to my kitchen. For myself, this is not the case. There are too many "don't do's" or "be careful's" to make using it easy. It does grill and bake very well, and I loved the crispy bacon that I made on the grill! The pan itself is super heavy. You really can't remove it from the cabinet or the oven with one hand without almost dropping it. It also warns you that it may scratch counter tops, metal sinks, and ceramic cooktops. There always needs to be a potholder, dish towel or trivet nearby in order to prevent this. When you use the grill pan in the oven, it may get so hot that you also can't take it out of the oven and put it on a cold ceramic cooktop without the risk of shattering the cold surface. Maybe all cast iron pans and skillets are this way, it just doesn't work well for me. I am always looking to make my cooking quicker and easier, whereas this makes it a bit more difficult for me. Some of you may be absolutely ok with this and/or use to this while cooking, so the pan may be a welcome addition to your collection. The grill pan itself is beautiful, cooks well, and comes in several different colors of enameled finish! You will have to decide which features and warnings fit in your own cooking pro and con columns.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Enameled cast iron pan is well made and is a high-quality product. It takes no time to clean after use. I love the finish and the color. Grilling burgers are definitely better now. I've used this pan 3-4 times and it still looks new.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very impressed with this cast iron dishes enamel,easy to clean surface. I did some pork shops and potatoes in this pan and the drippings got cooked on and crunchy along the bottom. After letting it cool down ,with the nonstick enamel surface,you can wash it with soap and water and the pan came clean real easy. Because it is cast iron it holds its heat very well,keeping your food hot for a longer time. This pan is heavy. I would not recommend it for your grandma, the handles are small on each side and it is real heavy when full of food and getting it in and out of oven . My food did cook faster in this enamel cast iron pan then in a glass pan.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you use the 10-2 method, you’ll be fine with this pan. Everything a home chef needs is right here. Oven safe (I only went up to 400 F), easy to clean, and retains heat very well. For an in-home substitution, you can’t go wrong.
