Can a cast iron grill pan be used on a gas grill?
On One Hand: Grilling small itemsUsing a grill pan directly on the grill is useful for cooking items such as vegetables or shrimp. A cast iron pan takes extreme heat well, so using it on the grill is a viable alternative to cooking on your indoor stove. A grill pan allows you to perfectly grill your vegetables without placing them onto skewers. Be careful when handling the pan when it has been on the grill; the handle will become extremely hot.On the Other: Grilling larger itemsWhen you are grilling larger items like steaks or burgers, go ahead and place them onto the grill. There is no need to use a grill pan at this point. You will get better grill marks and grill flavor by placing these items directly onto the grill with no threat of them falling through the grates.Bottom LineUse your grill pan on your grill to cook up smaller items that could fall through the grates.
