Barbecuing is a great way to cook some of our favourite foods outdoors when the weather starts to behave, but if you’re not careful, you can run into all sorts of problems – pieces of food slipping through the grill gaps; having to remove pieces of food from the grill one small piece at a time; different foods being cooked on the same surface (no one wants a fish-flavoured burger). With this Rectangular Perforated BBQ Pan, you can put all those problems to bed and enjoy your favourite flame-cooked grub, without all the hassle. The BK Frying Pan has a riveted cast iron handle, visibly denser and sturdier than the pan. If you close the grill lid, you must use oven mitts to lift it from the handle. This is because the heat from the grill will cause the handle to become very hot. Other than that, the handle and the pan are virtually indestructible. 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. OXO Obsidian Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel, 12″ Frying Pan Skillet with Holes with Removable Silicone Handle Holder

It seems like everyone has their own family grilling secret. Maybe it’s as simple as throwing a special spice in with your salt rub, maybe it’s a local meat or vegetable provider that you’re torn between bragging about at cookouts and bragging about how you’ll never tell anyone who attends your cookouts, or maybe it’s a five-figure outdoor cooking apparatus with a built-in TV next to the pool at your Hamptons getaway. To each his own. If the Lodge double-burner grill is a little too large for your needs, you can get the same performance with this 10.5-inch cast iron grill pan, also by Lodge. Constructed of a durable steel and carbon alloy, this heavy-duty pan is nearly indestructible and retains heat extremely well—though as with all cast iron, you'll need to turn down the heat once it comes to temp. 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.Its large 28cm diameter grills a generous amount of fish, meat and veggies, so you can cook up a feast for the whole family 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.) Small design features matter a lot: As we were cooking, we found that a few extra millimeters of grate height can lead to better final dish. Additionally, since most of these are heavier pieces of cookware, you need to have a well-balanced, ergonomic handle that either doesn't get hot, or is large enough to comfortably grip with an oven mitt or kitchen rag. Comes with a removable handle, making it versatile for use on the stovetop, in the oven, or on the grill. Hand wash is recommended to keep your grill wok at its best, maintaining the premium stainless steel finish

Still, we found this pan surprisingly easy to clean with just a bit of soap and warm water. We also opted to season the pan after washing, noting that the oil absorbed easily, making it ready to go for its next use. 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. 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. One of the best things about barbecuing is the distinct flavour that comes with flame-cooking your favourite meat and veg. The little holes in the surface of the pan let the flames through, so you can enjoy flame-kissed food with that desired smoky flavour, and the convenience of cooking in a pan.

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.
