Lodge Cast Iron Grill Pan

I bought this and the Emerald Green Panini Press together. They make a great team together. The grill pan is great! it heats evenly and slowly. I use either EVOO or refined peanut oil on this pan to give it its non-stick properties. I use the Misto can to spray a light coat on it and when its at the desired temperature I start cooking. I havent had a problem with things sticking and burning to any of the Lodge Enamel products. Any sticking that has happened has been quite minor. Keep in mind no enamel product is going to be as non-stick as teflon. Period. But with the right cooking practices, they can be as non stick as you need it to be. The Lodge Silicone handles work perfectly fine with all the Lodge Enameled and Le Creuset products (including this one).Lodge Color vs Lodge L-series: I talked directly to their customer service to get the low down on this subject. Both sets are enameled the same way by the same vendor with the same amount of enameled layers. They obtain the same quality control. Other than the obvious shape and color differences the only thing that separates the 2 sets are the stainless steel handles and embellishments on the L-series. I was also told by customer service that they are phasing out the L-series and are going to continue to move forward with the Color series.Just an FYI the Emerald Green is a little darker than the Le Creuset Fennel Color if you are looking to match the two sets. You might notice more of a difference in color between the Lodge's dutch oven and Le Creuset's French oven (same thing) but overall they are quite close in color. But between the skillets you wont notice hardly any difference unless you examined them right next to each other. They actually match quite well. I own Le Creuset pieces in Fennel and Lodge Color pieces in Emerarld Green. I have not seen either out perform the other.
