Denby - Pavilion Blue Cast Iron Griddle Pan 25cm - Oven Safe, For All Hob Types, Induction, Gas, Electric, Non Stick

So this was my first griddle pan and a cast iron one. Immediately tried seasoning it. This is where i went wrong. I originally hated the pan, it was hard to clean and everything stuck. Now finally realising how to cook with a such a pan is where most people fall down and give bad reviewsThe pan is enamel coated, it doesn't need seasoning its naturally non stick.A majority of the low reviews for this pan are people who don't actually know what they are buying or how to use a griddle pan so id take them with a pinch of salt.The pans Cast Iron, its going to be heavy, if you want something light go for stainless steel or aluminum non stick but they won't retain heat as well.Again the pans CAST IRON the handle will get hot as heat transfers to the handle, has common sense been lost overtime?The pan isnt hard to clean, this is a misconception, when its dirty you need to heat water in it with a bit of soap and scrub between and the food and dirt just lifts off, i usually use tongs to scrap in-between then empty the dirty liquid and scrub with a sponge.Food doesn't stick to the pan and cause havoc, when cooking meat it sticks due to the moisture and then if you leave the meat cooking it will self release (a sign its cooked on that side) and you can easily flip the meat then while retaining that iconic char grilled look.All in all this is a really really good grill pan with 0 issues. Just make sure you know what your actually buying and know how to use it. Its also cooked some of the best steaks and id definitely recommend cooking thick cut meats like steaks over using my circulon skillets.

I bought this product for less than 40 pounds, which was a bargain.I'm a cheff and I work with different pans but I never used a cast iron!I was shocked to find out how hard is to use it!The real problem is the cleaning.I used the pan just two times and it's look dirty, because the temperature will be so high when you cook something, and the fat will stick and burn really fast, so will stick to the pan, and will be really hard to remove it.How I said, I'm a chef, but this pan start to confuse my abilities, maybe I have to change job😁😁😁.Anyway o cooked half chicken, and was amazing, close to the same results as a real bbq. This is why a will give a 4 star review.

This is easy to use heats quickly if instructions followed . Looks very stylish

Doesn’t what it says on the tin but is quite difficult to clean. Not a pan to use with high heat, nice steady heat to get the griddle marks embellished.

Everthing you cook sticks to this pan ,terrible product .have used it 3 times now and washed it and the pan itself is beggining to ho rusty aswell ,will be returning this product .

Great quality and a great price! Much appreciated gift.

Purchased as a gift and recipient very happy with it. Did seem very heavy!

Takes a bit of cleaning but cooks steak like done in a Restaurant ,very heavy duty ,highly reccomend.

Hier sollte über die Verpackung nachgedacht werden.Die Pfanne sah gut aus, aber bei den Rillen standen wenige Spitzen ab. Diese würden auf jeden Fall abbrechen und dann geht ja punktuell die Beschichtung ab, vermute ich. Somit leider Retoure.Übrigens wichtig zu wissen bei Gusseisenpfannen auf Ceran. Das gibt bei Schieben Kratzer im Glas.

Cooks really nice allowing for drainage while giving the marks of grilling. Enjoy frying bacon as well! Very happy with purchase.
