After dropping lots of heavy hints I was lucky enough to get the chasseur grill pan for my birthday. Now that I have one I could not imagine my life without it (my obssession doesn't quite run to taking the pan to bed...not yet).

The first time I used the pan I used a small amount of olive oil as with a normal frying pan but it didn't give me the results I was looking for. Since then I have found that you get the best results if you just season your meat/fish and place it on the pan (making sure it is on a high heat) and watch it sizzle and cook before your very eyes. The most fun part is flipping your food over and seeing the lovely chargrilled lines, what can I say? I'm very easy to please.

The grill pan makes your food taste great - moist, slightly smoked and more tender than normal frying, grilling or baking will do.

I highly recommend the chasseur grill pan. Buy one now for yourself, your family and your friends!!

Don't know about how you meaties cook, but my interest in this pan was purely in reducing the fat content of an occasional indulgence in fried vegetables. I snapped one up when it hit half price and after 3 days I'm still very happy with it. It is heavy though- and because it doesn't have a long handle I found it really difficult to pick up when it was hot- I'm used to a Le Creuset frying pan so it's really just how the centre of gravity works out that makes it awkward to pick up one handed. I stuck to just using the handle to adjust the position over the hob and letting it cool completely before I moved it.
It does take a little time to season the pan. My cooking strategy is an adoption of what you would do on a barbecue- smear the side you're cooking with oil lightly applied with a pastry brush. When you put the veg down you do have to lift it a little with a fork after say 10 seconds to make sure that it doesn't stick to the grill line. I'm still learning really.
My other half was very impressed with the taste of aubergines, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes- he said they were far more flavoursome - much less masked by the taste of the oil. I liked cooking with a square pan for a change- everything seemed to fit in so much better. You do get a fairly high production of fumes though - so whack up the extractor or open a window before you cook.
