Tried the same prime rib eye from Costco at two different friends houses. Once was grilled on an outdoor grill, and once on a pan. Both tasted bad and looked bad. I decided to try the same steak myself so I went out and got this pan. Unbelievable pan. Followed the instruction to heat up the pan by letting it sit on medium heat for few minutes, then laid down the steak. The wonderful sound of sizzling started to pop. After 5 minutes, I turned the steak. OMG!! Beautiful grill mark, and the steak looked unbelievably tasty. I grilled the steak for about 20 minutes. 5 minutes on each side, then 2 minutes each side twice. Sat it for another two minutes. It was a perfect medium well, and it was my first time grilling!! Never realized the prime rib eye from Costco can taste this good.
The couple down side for this pan is the weight and cleaning. It must weigh at least 15 lb. Cleaning is quite a hassle, but it helps if soak in water.
Over all, I am very satisfy with the pan.

After owning this pan for more than a month, I learned few more things about iron cast pans. Apparently, it's not wise to soak the pan in water so I wash it in running warm water and use a scrub to wash it after it's cooled now. The pan does seem to require seasoning after use. I noticed few rust spot after first few uses without proper caring. Grilling with this pan is fun, but the caring part is not so fun.This grill pan is fabulous. Heavy cast iron, beautiful color, and easy to clean. Grilled fish, burgers, and steak all perfect.
