Yeah! The happiest time of my grill-pan-owning life was when I heard the sizzle of the food on the pan for the first time. The least happy was when I tried to clean the thing for the first time.

Now I just use a regular 12โ€ lodge skillet as well as a carbon steel pan.

Edit: if you want grill marks and great flavour, get a Weber kettle, a charcoal chimney, and a bag of hardwood lump charcoal. Learn to build a 2 zone fire and make some amazing food!
