Aluminum Pans
AMT Gastroguss AMTE285G - Grill with regular stripes
In most grilled pans, the ribs on the bottom are arranged parallel to the sides, so that you either have to put up with the “irregular” banding on the steaks or lay the meat diagonally. In the same model, the relief has already been turned 45 degrees. In addition, the AMT pan has a very thick bottom (9 mm) and a strong non-stick coating - in general, it will not give you any problems when cooking.
Pros:
- Thoroughbred "German" - produced in Germany, the birthplace of the brand;
- Any food can be fried without a drop of oil;
- As many as 4 layers of non-stick coating (titanium oxide, mineral dust, ceramics and Lotan - an eco-friendly analogue of Teflon);
- The top layer of spraying has antibacterial properties and is very easy to wash off any dirt;
- The non-stick effect remains even if the surface is scratched, although it is difficult to leave marks on such a coating;
- A detachable long handle and a solid extra ear make the pan comfortable for cooking in the oven.
Minuses:
- There is no ferromagnetic disk, so this model is not suitable for induction furnaces;
- The price of 6-7 thousand is not expensive.
NADOBA Vilma 728220 26x26 cm - square pan with a heat indicator

First, these are notches for the drain, located not in the side, but in the corners. Secondly, a thermochromic indicator appeared on the handle, by which it is easy to determine that the dishes have warmed up and you can start cooking.

Cast Iron Grill Pans
GIPFEL Diletto 2157 - an eternal griddle with a thick bottom
A truly unkillable pan from a German manufacturer is more likely to appeal to men. The cast iron turned out to be large and very heavy: 30 cm in diameter and 4.2 kg - the model is clearly not intended for female hands.
