All-Clad LTD 12-Inch Round Nonstick Grille Pan
This easy-to-use high-performance grill from All-Clad is designed with a heavy gauge, hard-coat anodized aluminum exterior for efficient, balanced heat conductivity and long wear. Quantum-coated nonstick interior. Solid-cast stainless steel handle. Carries the All-Clad limited lifetime warranty.
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

All-Clad LTD 12-Inch Round Nonstick Grille Pan Reviews
Suddenly I understand why cooking seemed hard to do well. I don't have to worry as much about burning things before they cook through. I'd heard people wax on about why they spent a fortune on things like pans or knives, but I honestly never thought there was much difference; I thought it was more a status thing, you know, like blue jeans are blue jeans no matter what brand is on the label. I don't have slightly burned and slightly undercooked food together in the same pan anymore. I've made damn near everything in this, and everything I ever tried to cook in this pan worked flawlessly. Used to be hard to find All-Clad stuff for under a hundred bucks.
I didn't know that my cookware sucked until I got this. This year I'm buying one a second time, for my boyfriend's house. A few silicon baking pans and spatulas. My boyfriend visited and cooked for us, and fell in love with it. those alone and my kitchen is complete. This pan changed my mind. I have an old stove with square burners, so the 12" size means any pan on the adjoining burner behind it needs to be a small one, but that's ok because I can cook two BIG steaks in it comfortably, or a heck of a lot of food, and more than one thing at a time when needed.
I should probably just get rid of 80% of my cookware that I ceased to need once I got a few pans so good they became All-Use items. Each Christmas I come to Amazon and buy myself one All-Clad item. Now I have this 12" grille pan, a good wok, a Calphalon omelette pan and a good soup pot and I don't even use any of my other cookware. (I only have two other All-Clad items, my fave being the two very-oversized ramikens).
Read the rest of my reviews I am picky but this pan is a 10 star product. We love this pan and would buy another is the need ever arose. This pan gets high use in a large family and has stood up over time.
I love this pan. SS It's very handy, heats evenly, and rocks my kitchen world. 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. I own a varied collection of all-clad, viking, and analon titanium cookware.
This pan has very flat grill strips and extremely shallow valleys. The flavor is achieved by having sharp edged grill strips separated relatively deep valleys. If you want to grill indoors - then get a heavy pan that can leave clear grill marks. Over a hot flame, the valleys allow the drippings to burn and emit smoke. 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.
This pan, however, is simply not a good or even average grill pan. Based on my experience, I can recommend Lodge or LeCruest. The other failing of this pan is its light weight. The result is steaks that have been sautted rather than grilled.
Most people believe that All-Clad is exceptional cookware and I agree for the most part. The result is no smoke flavor and no grill marks. You do not have the deep,rich crust that you expect from a good steakhouse. 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.
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.
And that makes it really a joy to cook with. Love it. Not too big, not too small, not too heavy, not too light, not too hot, not too cold ;-) It's just right.
