Jean-Patrique Grill Pan with Built-in Handle Thermometer Frying Nonstick Griddle Steak Pan for Stovetop Grill Bacon Frying Pans Skillet for Gas Induction Ceramic or Electric Hobs

We were very happy to receive this meat master griddle pan! It came very well packaged and presented. First impressions are very good indeed. The pan is well made, solid and excellent quality. The pan provides even heat distribution, which is essential when cooking things like steak and burgers! The built in thermometer is a great touch, very handy when cooking steaks to different preferences. The griddle pan can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher...Just make sure you remove the thermometer before! Another bonus is that the pan can be used on gas, electric and induction hobs. Excellent pan and excellent quality. Highly recommended to others.

This is a BIG pan. It's definitely worth double checking the measurements and how it will fit on your cooker because it's big enough on my cooker to make the other hobs not useable. This is a good thing though, because it gets nice and hot and evenly, and cooks up a mean steak. It's also really good for roasting vegetables too. The ridges on the pan base keep whatever your cooking out of contact with most of the surface so you get a good even heat on your food, and you also get those cool dark stripes across it as well. It also means you don't need much fat in there either.The meat thermometer in the handle is best treated as a bonus extra. I don't find myself using it much, but for those moments when you suddenly realise you need it (like cooking chicken) it's a very handy place to keep it. It's not a built-in real-time temperature readout thermometer as I first thought though- it pulls out of the handle and is a traditional probe type meat thermometer.The non-stick coating is slightly mysterious in that it's only described as non-toxic non-stick. I'll assume it's a non-branded teflon material, and it looks and behaves like that material. Clean up is easy, but as ever you can't (or shouldn't) use metal utensils on it.It has a 25 year guarantee, which seems a bit ambitious for the thermometer, but seems reasonable for the pan itself as long as you look after the non-stick. It's a big chunk of onepiece aluminum with nothing obvious to break or fall off, so its should last a good long time. If it does last the suggested 25years then the 60-odd quid this pan costs starts to seem like pretty good value.Great pan.

Absolutely phenomenal pan. It's heavy-bottomed with a non-stick layer that, well, doesn't stick. My only gripe is that I bought the meat master instead of the anything pan. While the idea of having a thermometer in your pan sounds good, it is just annoying in practice. The thermometer is not of the best quality so you wouldn't want to use it in the first place. But because the handle has a slot, removing the thermometer makes the pan awkward to hold and handle. Moreover, because of the thermometer, the handle is not removable anymore so the pan can't be used in the oven.

It's a big heavy pan and feels solid, robust and built to last. I'm not sure if the weight is a good thing or not yet, all I know is it's pretty weighty on it's own and once loaded with food it's even worse (or better, depending on viewpoint).The thremometer is a let down though. I was under the impression that the thermometer was built in but no, it's just a regular one that slots into the handle. It has to be taken out to use and that's just a faff and something else to lie unused in the kitchen drawer. Also, once it's out it leaves a gaping hole in the handle which makes it even harder to hold and lift the heavy pan.The non-stick part is great though and it's easy to clean too, which kind of makes up for the dislikes I have with it.

Even heat distribution ensures this pan is great for omelettes, flat-breads and risottos, or any dish requiring a good even heat without hotspots. Pan cleans well in a dishwasher after use. Lightweight enough to handle, but heavy enough to be stable on the hob. Lovely pan. Recommended

This is a really nice and solid griddle pan. It certainly does griddled aubergine very well.Heat distribution is good. I’ve had other such pans and the heat loses as it fans out. Aubergine slices are actually a good teaser to see heat distribution and it was good.Size wise…this is not a little pan. Many griddle pans are pretty small from what I’ve seen. It’s not too big but it’s a good sized pan - I do like it.As for the heat probe…to me…gimmick. No idea really why it’s there. Yes it’s sort of useful, yes it works well and can go from F to C temperature. Yes it perfectly fits the handle. The issue to me is…why? Is it that difficult to just have a separate one?Overall, lovely pan. Heats well, washes wonderfully in a sink but no need for the probe.

I see others have included many photos, so I won't add any more ... but mere review this pan's performance.It's a really good pan, and very easy to use. It's a good size, which means that you can cook several steaks, etc, on it at once and still have room to flip them over. It cooks very evenly, with minimal or little oil necessary (I generally coat it thinly by lightly brushing it with oil.)After use, it's very easy to clean. In fact, it's excellent all round.It lost a star simply because of the misleading listing ... which suggests that the pan itself judges the correct temperature of the food. No such thing. It just has a detachable meat thermometer stored in the handle, which you remove to use in the normal way. Not clever guys ... If I'd actually paid for this, instead of receiving it via the Vine program, I'd be a bit ticked off and even, possibly, asking for a refund.
