Amazon.com Review
Distinguished among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections by its stylish charcoal black hard anodized-aluminum exterior, the LTD line provides serious and professional cooks with all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between the exterior and the interior lies a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The striking exterior resists scratching, chipping, and peeling. Certain pieces, such as this one, have two interior layers, one of 18/10 stainless steel and the other of scratch-resistant, professional-grade nonstick bonded to the steel.

This round grill pan makes clear the appeal of All-Clad's LTD cookware to contemporary cooks. It's 12 inches in diameter, perfect for grilling four big burgers or two porterhouse steaks and searing them with appetizing-looking grill marks. Because the grill's cooking surface is durable nonstick, you can grill healthful meals without using butter or oil and you'll have an easier cleanup. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel handle is secured to the pan by stainless-steel rivets for strength, grooved on the top and rounded on the bottom for comfort, and holed in the end for hanging on a hook or peg. The long handle stays cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's heat. LTD cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. --Fred Brack

This is an awesome grill pan
I love this pan. I own a varied collection of all-clad, viking, and analon titanium cookware... and this is one of my favorite pans to use. I love using it for fish, chicken, a quick steak, or to put some grill marks on asparagus. It's very handy, heats evenly, and rocks my kitchen world... SS

This is not a good grill pan
I feel that I am committing a mortal sin by saying that an All-Clad pan is not a good pan, but this one is not. Most people believe that All-Clad is exceptional cookware and I agree for the most part. This pan, however, is simply not a good or even average grill pan.

A grill pan is supposed to approximate the flavor and markings achieved by using a good charcoal/gas grill or an open flame of hardwood. The flavor is achieved by having sharp edged grill strips separated relatively deep valleys. Over a hot flame, the valleys allow the drippings to burn and emit smoke. This pan has very flat grill strips and extremely shallow valleys. The result is no smoke flavor and no grill marks.

The other failing of this pan is its light weight. The pan comes up to temperature quickly, but when you throw in two or three 1 & 1/2 pound ribeyes, it quickly cools off. This s a pure aluminum pan and as a result is light weight has little reserved heat when the steaks hit. The result is steaks that have been sautted rather than grilled. You do not have the deep,rich crust that you expect from a good steakhouse.

If you want to grill indoors - then get a heavy pan that can leave clear grill marks. Based on my experience, I can recommend Lodge or LeCruest.

The Baby Bear of Grill Pans
Not too big, not too small, not too heavy, not too light, not too hot, not too cold ;-) It's just right! And that makes it really a joy to cook with! Love it!
