Preheating the grill pan along with the cast iron pan resulted in much better bread. When used with a cold-start process-when you place the dough in a cold Dutch oven and a cold oven-the bread stuck to the grill pan and did not get enough oven spring (an additional expansion during the baking). The lid works well with the grill pan and makes a tagine-esque environment for food to cook–self-basting, steamy and hot.īaking bread with the grill pan as a base to the Perfect Pan was interesting. Since we were testing them together, we had the opportunity to use the lid from the Our Place Cast Iron Perfect Pot to create some steam. Once the pan heats up, it stays hot, and you can cook food in small, but quick, batches. It does take a few minutes for the pan to get to a searing temperature and the manufacturer recommends heating it on medium heat to prolong the life of the pan.

Due to its small-medium size, the majority of the pan had contact with our burner, allowing for even heating across the surface.
