Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of All-Clad LTD 12-Inch Round Nonstick Grille PanCustomer Review: Super price for a super pan! Summary: 5 Stars
First let me say that I do not own any other All-Clad LTD cookware. This is my one and only. My main set is the Anolon Titanium 10-Piece Cookware Set. Secondly, even though I'm an attorney, I am still a seasoned cook. We entertain frequently, so having quality cookware is essential to a great meal.
Anyway, the reason I chose this grill pan instead of getting a matching Anolon Titanium grill pan is because I like the size and feel of the All-Clad grill pan better...even though it's not dishwasher safe like the Anolon Titanium pans. The Anolon grill pan seems to be deeper and more rounded at the botton...I wanted a more shallow pan and the All-Clad looked perfect.
For larger cuts of meat like porterhouse steaks, the All-Clad is only good for grilling two (2) portions at a time. For smaller cuts like hamburgers or filet mignons, it's good for grilling up four (4) portions. The depth and width of the grill grooves are just right for perfect searing.
And yes, it's definitely nonstick. I can cook hamburgers on it without it falling apart when I turn them over. Salmon too! Even though it's not dishwasher safe, clean up is pretty easy. Just wash with warm water and a non-scratch sponge and it's ready to go. (And trust me...I hate washing dishes...so that was a major concern!)
I'm not quite sure how a previous review did babyback ribs on this thing though...it's a grill, not a BBQ. There's no lid, so you can't do slow cooking on it unless you stick it in an oven. But since it's hard anodized...I guess you can stick it in an oven if you want to. (That's how I cook really thick cuts of meat for my in-laws who like everything well done.)
And another previous reviewer said that Le Creuset might provide a better flavor to meat...I'm not sure what that means either. The Le Creuset brand grill pans are cast iron. The only way the cast iron would have a different taste than the anodized pans is if there were old food/oil stuck to it...which is really how those pans work. You won't get old food/oil flavors on a nonstick pan.
Description of All-Clad LTD 12-Inch Round Nonstick Grille PanStart grilling...without the grill. All-Clad's 12 inch grille pan is perfect for creating the masterful flavors of quality grilling, all on your stovetop. Hard anodized and non-stick, the pan cooks efficiently and cleans easily. Attractively designed and incredibly tough, each piece from the LTD line is constructed from three layers of metal; a stainless steel interior, aluminum core and hard-anodized aluminum exterior. This combination of metals is ideal for even heating and superior cooking by eliminating hot spots. The handle is riveted to the side for extra strength, and the outside layers resist scratching. Producing some of the finest cookware in the nation, All-Clad has been featured in many high class and gourmet restaurants for its superior performance and aesthetically designed pieces crafted from American artists using the finest metals. A firm believer in quality over convenience, All-Clad's metals are formulated and bonded with cooking performance in mind, and are combined with stunning designs to provide you with the best cooking experience possible. 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
