Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
on July 8, 2024
Posted by: gorjis
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using my trusted cast iron for 30 years and it's developed a beautiful seasoning. But when I came across an enameled cast iron version, similar to Le Crueset, I wanted to see if it would yield the same results. The pan itself is very well made with substantial heft you'd expect from cast iron.
I followed the instructions - washed before using, set the burner on medium-high to get it hot for about 5 minutes - then used a light spray of avocado oil and set a thin cut of skirt steak on, cooking it 2 minutes on each side. As you can see from photos, there was minimal browning or searing. The steak seemed to be steaming which has never happened on my regular cast iron or pan searing. It made it gray and chewy. I don't know what went wrong?
The clean up was pretty effortless. Once the pan cooled a little, I pre-soaked in water and washed by hand with a scrubber sponge.

Non Stick Iron Pan/ Skillet
on July 8, 2024
Posted by: sinank2
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Alva Nori Grill Pan came in a decent size that is perfect for steaks, vegetables etc… I tried the pan with thin sliced NY strips as it cooks faster and less messy when cooking indoors. The pan get got all over which I liked as the heat is distributed making life easier. i also like the fact that it had deep groves that leave grill marks on the meat!
Unlike traditional iron pans/ skillets the Nori pan come with a coating which made it more non stick, much easier to clean!

Noir grill pan
on July 8, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this nice cast iron nori grill pan and I can’t wait to grab me some steaks and grill them! I do have a similar one I use and I love it so I know I will love this one. You can use this on stove tops any grill and on a fire. Has a nice enamel coating to keep it from sticking. Looks like I will be having steak this weekend and can’t wait!

Better than a traditional cast iron skillet!
on July 11, 2024
Posted by: brietawd
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really excited to review this cast iron grill pan that I was sent to test! I LOVE this more than the cast iron skillet I already owned. First off, it is more lightweight and easier to handle with the two handles, versus a traditional single handle. My husband used it to grill tilapia and it came out juicy on the inside, with the best crispy golden layer on the outside. I have never liked fish so much before! It was easy enough to clean but it cannot be put in a dishwasher. Overall, I highly recommend if you like to make your own chicken or fish!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my favorite grilling pan. It is so easy to clean. It doesn’t scratch when cleaning it. It heats up evenly. It is heavy duty. You can grill and bake in it.

Great pan for cooking steaks, and you will like it.
on July 12, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pan is a good size for cooking steaks and sandwiches. It heats up quickly and distributes heat evenly. It works well and is worth the money. I'm just learning how to cook with this skillet, but the steaks are tasting great. I've found I need to use lower heat just enough to make the steak sizzle when it hits the skillet, but not so much as to make it cause too much smoke. This pan is quite heavy, so be prepared for that. You may need to use two hands if you don't have much strength in your hands and forearms. Cleaning isn't too hard if you let the skillet cool down until it's just a bit warm, then put in warm water and scrub it out with a cleaning brush. It may take some stout scrubbing, but if you're patient, you'll get it all out.
