How We Tested Grill Pans
We tested 11 different enameled or plain cast-iron grill pans in a range of sizes and shapes with prices ranging from $19 to $245. We put these grill pans through their paces by grilling everything from burgers to salmon, evaluating the grill marks closely. The best grill pans were roomy, had low sides that made it easy to maneuver a spatula under food, and featured tall ridges that made distinct grill marks. They were made from traditional cast iron that arrived preseasoned, so they released food easily from the beginning and got even better over time.
