Grill Pan Tips?

I bought a grill pan a few months ago and I absolutely love it! My husband and I aren’t fond of zucchini, but I would imagine you prepare it the same way you prepare most vegetables on a grill pan– oil/butter/margarine, spices, medium-high or high heat, turn often, watch it so it doesn’t burn. If you want, you can salt the zucchini beforehand and let it sit to release moisture.

JF: Cast iron?

I don’t have a cast iron skillet yet, although it is on my wish list. The grill pan that I use was $20 at TJ Maxx and worth every penny. I use it for basically everything, but my favorite thing to make in it is definitely grilled asparagus.

You should get a cast iron.

They are about 20 dollars on Amazon. Made by Lodge.

I think it should be kashered prior to use. You should run it through a self-clean oven for an hour. Then immediately re-season it.

Then use.

Shmear it with oil, and stick it in the oven at 450 for an hour or two.

Then make sure to keep it seasoned by greasing it when you use it.

And never ever ever wash it with soap.
