What is Reddit's opinion of Lodge L8SGP3 Cast Iron Square Grill Pan, Pre-Seasoned, 10.5-inch?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I don't have access to an actual grill, so I've been using a cast iron grill pan over pretty high heat (pounding out the meat makes this much easier). Not easy to clean, but worth it to me!

No, I soak it in there for about 30 minutes. Then just take it out. If I'm using sour cream, I nomilly wipe it off.

Instead of frying you could look at the Good Will for a grill pan (or buy one looks like this).

Also, pounding your chx breasts flat will allow it to cook quicker and be seasoned more thoroughly.

1. Pat breasts dry
2. Cover with saran wrap, pound flat with a pot, rolling, pin, meat pounder
3. Marinate in dairy (milk, buttermilk, sourcream etc.) 30 minutes
4. Take out, season with salt, pepper, italian seasoning, red pepper flakes
5. Grill/or fry just for about 3-4 (assuming the breast is about 1/2" thick) minutes each side (until the middle is 165 degrees).
6. Enjoy.

Here ya go

Μια χαρά τα βρίσκεις. Πήγαινε σε μαγαζί με είδη μαγειρικής και θα το βρείς, από 60-100 ευρώ (ποιο ψηλές τιμές έχουν τα μεγαλύτερα σε διάμετρο/ποιο βαθια και φυσικά όσα έχουν καπάκι)

Ναι, έχουν: ο σιδερος έχει πολύ καλή θερμοαγωγιμότητα και μόλις ζεσταθεί το σκεύος, μπορείς να είσαι σίγουρος ότι θα είναι ομοιόμορφα ζεσταμένο. Επίσεις κρατάει για αρκετή ώρα τη θερμοκρασία του. Οπότε δεν χρειάζεται να βάλεις τη φωτιά στο τέρμα.

Θες μπριζολίτσα, δεν έχεις σχάρα και κάρβουνα; Νο προμπλεμ, πάρε ένα τέτοιο

Ασε να ζεστανει καλά (θα το αισθάνεσαι απο το μέτρο τη φλόγα που θα βγάλει ο σίδερος), βάλε 5 λεπτά τη μπριζόλα απο τη μία μερια και 3 από την άλλη. Έτοιμη, medium rare.

Μόνο, μη βάλεις ποτε σαπούνι ή άλλα απορυπαντικά πάνω του. Νεράκι σκέτο και τρίψιμο να φύγει ότι έχει καεί.

I used my ribbed 10" square Lodge for hotdogs last night and this morning got the camelcamelcamel notice that the unribbed version had dropped to $16. I ordered it right away.

I live alone and friends tell me I don't need 30 cast iron pieces just to cook for myself. I just smile because I realize that they just don't understand...

I have a Lodge Grill Pan. I'm a bit shaky on the care of cast iron, so a little hesitant about this.

So you have a cast iron similar to this? http://www.amazon.com/Lodge-L8SGP3-Pre-Seasoned-Cast-Iron-10-5-inch/dp/B0000CF66W/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1435300079&sr=8-5&keywords=cast+iron+griddle

If so, is it worth the investment? I've heard that they can be a bitch to clean, but those grill marks look fantastic...

I swear I'm not trolling, just tossing <strong>this</strong> in for my fellow poor saps that can't afford those fancy devices (which are very nice, btw).

Plus, I just love using cast iron. =)

I was probably mixing them up myself. As I was thinking about deglazing the pan, but then adding more wine and demiglace'ing it.

I love a deglazed sauce, but it never makes enough for my tastes sauce for my tastes, so use more wine than I should and allow it to simmer down. That way there is sauce for the plate presentation, plus extra for a small sauce boat.

looking back I think I suggested too much wine be used, more like half a small wine glass per person, than a whole wine glass per person, would be better. When you do things be feel it is often difficult to relate the amount you use correctly. And by feel the amount would depend on how hot the pan is, how much flavour stuff is in the bottom of the pan, what you are going for in sauce consistency etc.

To go with all this get one of these griddle pan or similar in a size suitable for your family. If you oil it carefully before you start then their is no need for non-stick.

To oil one I like to put a couple of teaspoons of oil in, heat to just bellow smoking, and then use a wad of kitchen paper to rub the oil all over the griddle surface to make sure everywhere is nicely oiled. You could do this with the oil cold, but I heard that the iron opens up somewhat when hot, and accepts the oil better. Though I have no way to know if that was just BS or not. Probably an oil spray will do just as well. Use a heat resistant oil, no Sesame, Olive, or Ghee for this type of cooking.

Yeah real weird

Here's one I found on Amazon, it's not JDM though :(

Yes but 74.70 Singapore dollars is still $55.34 USD

That tag is for the 10.5 inch square grill pan

Lodge 10.5 square grill pan

It's $18.90 on Amazon

Grill pan. It's life changing. Same effect as using a grill, since it lets the grease drip off, and you get the nice sear lines, but much more convenient.

Was it a grill pan like this?

Thanks for the feedback I will get this one from Lodge: Lodge 26.67 cm / 10.5 inch Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Square Grill Pan / Fat-Free Fryer https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0000CF66W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_E1ZQAX3NKT5P1F8WRG95

If you're just looking to replace it with a similar grill pan, this one from Lodge would for the bill. I like to use a reversible griddle like this one because it's more versatile. I can do panini, steaks, fish, etc. on the ridged side and pancakes, French toast, pizza, etc. on the smooth side.

It looks like a regular grill pan. My Lodge was cheap and looks very similar.

How hard you press down on the bread controls how much grease it soaks up.

yup it's called a grill pan

Super hot cast iron grill pan that is well seasoned. Like this one - Lodge L8SGP3 Cast Iron Square Grill Pan, Pre-Seasoned, 10.5-inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000CF66W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_RznJAbG6PEKV4

If you have a grill/have access to one, grill everything!! If not, just using a good grill pan, like this one, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000CF66W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_DZ5bzb8CHKE3Z, adds a whole different flavor to food. I love grilled food (see my comment above), and the best part is that it's relatively healthy, always delicious, and pretty easy to do. For chicken or fish, you can season it with pretty much anything that you'd use when you bake or pan cook it, as long as it doesn't have too much sugar, which will burn very easily on the grill. If you wanna get extra fancy, you can grill your fish on a cedar plank, which takes it from good to out of this world!! This chicken recipe is great: http://therecipecritic.com/2016/08/grilled-hawaiian-barbecue-chicken-foil/ and this salmon one is too: http://www.allergyfreealaska.com/2013/10/07/lemony-cedar-planked-salmon-garlic-dill/

Can't really be done. The flame is much to wide. This is probably your best bet https://www.amazon.com/Lodge-L8SGP3-Pre-Seasoned-Cast-Iron-10-5-inch/dp/B0000CF66W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1468689187&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=cast+iron+griddle+pan

Thanks! I haven't had it long, but I'm a big fan. Here is the link to it on amazon:

I have a cast iron grill frying pan that I use for this purpose. I recommend toasting a bun on it, too, and topping with sauerkraut.

yup. was debating between grill pan and flat, went with this

You might want to invest in one of these. Find the seasoning you like and cook it on medium heat. I always use a meat thermometer to get it just right.

Huh?

Are you talking about one of these? I gave mine away. It actually transfers a lot less heat and I get a better sear across an entire steak with a flat cast iron. Just gotta crank it up to 11, or use an actual grill.
