Staub Steam Grill, 12"

I received this pan two weeks ago and have used it at least five times. It is a wonderful size for a small family or for couple cooking if you are cooking two different foods at one time. So far I've cooked thick boneless chops with asparagus, steak with fresh broccoli, salmon with pre-baked sweet potato (split the potato in half, sprinkled w/raw sugar and placed down on grill), and chicken with cauliflower. I think the pork chop was my favorite - awesome flavor and very tender. As far as cleaning, as recommended by a previous reviewer, I use Bar Keepers Friend cream cleaner with a small scrub brush. No problem cleaning. My tip for cleaning though is: as soon as you remove the food from the hot pan, add water and let soak until you are ready to clean. The food particles come right off.

I cook a lot! Ive used indoor grill pans of all kinds and this one really does what is says..You get perfect grill marks and tender and moist meat! You will get smoke if your grilling correctly, so make sure you have good venting. Make sure pan is good and hot and don't overcook and you will LOVE this pan. I probably use it 4-6 days a week. I've even had a indoor grill in my cook top before and this pan does my grilled shrimp with the same results and a lot less clean-up than an entire grill. Use the lid too it keeps the moisture in the meat, even if you don't use a liquid with your recipe :-)
Island girl!

Just used the Staub Steam Grill for the first time. Love it! Perfectly moist chicken in about 15 minutes, and it was so easy! I used the chicken recipe from the website, and it was excellent.

I bought one of these this weekend and used it to grill a sirloin steak last night - it was fabulous! This pan gave me a nice sear with no oil. Clean up was super easy - once cool, I just put it in the sink, filled with water and a squirt of dish liquid. After a brief soak, everything just wiped up with a sponge!

This pan is enameled inside as well as outside - this is NOT like traditional cast iron. You can use soap, don't need to season it, etc. All of the "rules" for cast iron do not apply.

This is the first Staub pan I've ever owned. All I can say is Wow!!!!
It sears any meat beautifully, that you'd think the meat was done on an outside grill. I've seared in the pan and then finished cooking the meat in the oven. Wonderful!!!!!
After reading the reviews on cleaning, what I've done is let the pan cool a bit, but not completely. Then fill the pan with hot sudsy water and let it sit. Most everything comes right off with little effort of scrubbing. And yes, the glass lid fits perfectly and snugly.

this grill pan is awesome! I love that I can use it as a normal grill pan (even on the BBQ outside) or use it with liquid and the lid to steam grill. Steam grilling is faster and the results are great, plus using the lid means my kitchen won't smell like smoke after grilling inside. Also, no more grease splatters all over the range top. you need this item!

This pan performs exactly as advertised. A rarity these days. We have used our pan to grill fish, meat, veggies, all without any disappointment. Really did a fine job of grilling then steaming fresh asparagus. Buy it and use it for everything.

I love the size and the steaming capability with clear lid. I just find it very hard to clean after grilling meats.

This product does not perform the way the video implies. Despite following directions, I was unable to get grill marks on the food without splatters all over my stovetop, and several kinds of fish stuck to the grill even though I used olive oil first. And clean-up is hardly "a breeze"--unless you consider ten minutes of scrubbing a breeze. I don't.

This is just the type of pan I was looking for! It is large enough to hold a complete meal! Great purchase price. Very pleased!

Love it!!! I did steak the other night with the compound butter as recommended - so good! It is almost like having a BBQ inside.

Tonight I will be trying the chicken. It is perfect size for my husband and me, though I know I can fit more on there.

You should get one if you don't already have one!

I always get the results I want. A must is a good vent hood. Perfect indoor grill. The lid helps finish the cooking and keeps things juicy. Cleaning is a snap if you put soapy water in it while it is warm.

I do love this pan, but it would have been nice if a manual was included with recipes. I called and was told to search on line, but did not find searching user friendly and ended up frustrated. I am still struggling a little with using the pan. I am mostly vegan, but do eat fish once in a while. Have not tried fish yet, because I am afraid to ruin.

First of all, I have made some of the best steak, porkchops, and chicken on this pan that I have ever made in my life and it has cooked quickly and deliciously. Even super thick cuts of meat can cook in a matter of minutes if you just follow the directions.

But do follow the directions! The pan needs a little preseason with oil before you use it the first time and DO NOT for the love of your cookware cook anything on this pan that has a sugary marinade. My first time out I had a burned on, crazy sticky mess because my easy prepackaged marinade was as much sugar as anything else. I know, I know. I should have read the ingredients but I was in a hurry and wanted to try out my new pan. So I bought some chicken, tossed it in the bag and let it marinate at work all day. Indeed it was delicious, but stuck on like glue.

The next time I just seasoned my meat with salt and pepper and let it sit for a while at room temperature until I got ready to cook it. Then I heated and oiled the pan, wiped out the excess, lightly oiled my meat and had perfectly grilled, non-sticking food. The pan just wiped clean.

Since then, I have had something stick again, mostly because I let it cook just a tad too long on the first side. Hot water and vinegar plus some soaking and elbow grease got all my messes off and left my pan like new ready to cook again.

I LOVE THIS PAN! Meat's back on the menu, boys!

I had a New Year's resolution to eat health and loose a few pounds, something I've tried before but working 10-12 hours a day makes it really tough. The steamer grill pan has made it a piece of cake. No evening meal take longer than 15 minutes start to finish, and they all look and taste fabulous! Salmon with asparagus, zucchini and beef steak tomatoes. Chicken breasts marinated over night, brussels sprouts and peach halves! Pork loin filets with acorn squash and broccolini (actually baked the acorn squash for 30 min before putting it on the pan). So simple to use, and a quick cleanup since I sprayed with cooking spray beforehand and after the food is off poured 1/4 cup water on the pan and put the lid on (heat off) to let the residue steam off. Looks as good as the day I bought it. I lost 10 lbs in the first 2 weeks I've been using it. Thank you Staub! Best Christmas present I bought myself for my husband to give me. He thanks you too since we've saved a ton of money not eating out all the time, yet every meal looks like a gourmet dinner!

I had been coveting this pan for a while and finally splurged on it a few weeks ago. It is well worth the price! I have already cooked several delicious meals in this pan. Meats come out tender and moist and never overcooked. I've cooked several of the recipes that are here on the website. My favorites have been the steak and shrimp and tonight I made the brats with cabbage and apples. My picky three year old even loved the brats, so that is a double-win! I've also loved this pan as a working mom because it's nice to come home and cook some relatively quick and healthy and tasty. It's easy to clean too. I don't do anything fancy to clean it. Just dish soap, a scotch-brite pad, and put it in the dishwasher. Do yourself a favor and buy this pan!

Best investment ever. I grill chicken and vegetables and they taste amazing.

Awesome for winter time and if you do not want to go out for grilling...perfect for two~ We love ours!

I am a busy mom and I want to cook GREAT HEALTHY food quickly for my family. What I love best is that an entire meal can be done in half the time in a single pan... last night was big juicy chicken breasts with peppers and onions... completely done in less than 15 min!! I have experimented with cleaning... leaving a little bit of water and soap an warming the pan to low, makes it clean in a snap!!

I've used it as a steamer and as a grill. Cooks quickly and beautifully. Though clean up took a bit longer after grilling, it was wonderful to use soap and water instead of the ordeal I went through cleaning my Lodge grill pan or my electric grill.

During the winter it was too rainy to cook burgers on the grill so we used this instead. It was so surprising how moist the burgers were!! We had some issues with cleanup but after talking to Miles at the Santa Clara store, he recommended using the OXO Ultimate Brush and it worked perfectly! It got all the little tidbits in the little crevices and looked brand new.

We love this pan. It grills very well and with the cover it steams well too. It's a nice weight. The only reason I have not given it a 5 is that we have found it a little hard to clean off grilled on material

The grill delivers good sear marks, works great on my induction stove. It has been easy to clean by putting in a bit of water after removing the food, similar to a deglazing step. No scrubbing required. The lid seals poorly on the pan and steam pours out of it.

I used it as described and when I washed it, a long strip of the coating on the grill came off. Perhaps a good idea, but poorly executed. I hope to get my money back, but am now worried about another Staub product I have.

This pan has been in heavy rotation since arrival at my house. The first few times were harder to clean, with great complaints from teenagers cleaning up, but we've gotten the hang of oiling well before use (a spray of pan or regular olive oil works). Grill marks are still there but clean up is no longer a problem.

I have had this grill pan for over 2 years and I use it to season pork loins, steam chicken, steak with no oil, shrimp, scallops and salmon. The key to get the grill marks is to have a well seasoned pan very hot. Smoking hot!

After cooking, I add hot water in the pan and cover. I leave it on the stove with no flame,covered for 20 minutes.Then rinse in the sink and get busy with a chopstick!

Can be a bit heavy, keep in mind I'm a petite 5'2" 110lb girl. Works AMAZINGG and replaced an old grill pan. i like that this doesn't have a long handle but two side grip handles. I also wish this were a bit deeper, currently when I use my splatter screen for steaks & whatnot it touches the food :( Also I find it hard to clean but I still love it! NO REGRETS!

Great looking but difficult to clean. Description should address this, I’ve needed to soak & scrub. Not my pan of choice. ??

Great for Chicken and Fish, everything is moist and perfectly cooked.

The pan is well made and attractive. There is not good explanation of the technique involved although some is seen on YouTube . Cleans easily.

I removed the lid when my steak was done. I sat it in the sink to cool and it shattered into hundreds of pieces. They did replace it.

A nice quality pan.
The shape of the bottom is a nice idea, but the small grooves are so difficult to clean that it prevents us from wanting to use it.

I have this and the smaller size. If it's too cold to grill, I use these. Great Staub quality, gorgeous pan, as easy to clean as any other cast iron... can't go wrong.

This grill is in use at least 3X a week--I clean it after use and keep it on the stove handy--this reminds me to keep eating healthy and it is the best for steam grilled veggies! This afternoon for lunch I steam grilled Portobello mushrooms--off the chart!

Haven't used it yet, but it sits on my stove looking wonderful until I have some time to really use it as it should be.

the grill bottom is nice enough but the top really helps speed up cooking and keeps you meat nice and moist. clean up is pretty easy as well - Staub is some of the best cast iron out there

I go for this pan at least once a week. Love the fact that I can sear meats indoors and slap a lid on to keep the mess contained and then just add a little water to steam cook it and it’s done. As always easy cleanup with Staub too. The only cast iron pans I own.

I bought this a few weeks ago and wanted to use it in a variety of ways before posting a review. The lid is great for retaining moisture when adding a steam finish to veggies as well as reducing splatter and grease aerosol. The best part for me is the ease of clean-up. I've lost count of the number of grill pans I've fallen out of love with over the years due to the difficulty in cleaning them. The Staub finish comes clean with less effort than any other I've used.

Like cooking outside (almost)

Since I use a gas grill, the taste seems the same. The difference is that I am able to grill more precisely. The results for meat and fish have always been great. Plus, it works on my induction cooktop and is easy to clean.

I Love it so much that I've given one to both daughters. It's the only way I cook our salmon. Easy cleanup!! I'm sure I will use it even more in the winter instead of the grill.

Love this piece.have used it often..cooks and cleans up beautifully...

This grill works great. I used it for grilling veggies (just lightly coat veggies before you put on the grill). I slow cooked ribs for 6 hours in a slow cooker and transferred to the Staub Grill to finish off with BBQ sauce. No need to worry about bugs, the weather and clean up is a breeze.

Used for the first time to grill burgers. Meat was moist, tender and delicious.

In this hot weather I can have a favorite grill or steamed choice without overheating the house. Cooks more quickly and with less fat for a happier healthier me.

Definitely recommend this for the indoor grill option. I do not have access to an outdoor grill and enjoy my steak now and then. This is an excellent way to cook your steak with those perfect grill marks while finishing it off for that light pink in the oven on broil. Even better, it's perfect for veggies when you add the lid and cook on low heat for those grill marks. It's a weekly use in my kitchen. Great taste and easy cleanup.

this is a great pan to cook healthy meals. It makes perfect grill marks and using the lid to steam veggies is so easy.

First item I cooked was Salmon with Broccoli. I placed the lid on & broc was so tender. I'm getting a second one.

So far I am loving cooking in this pan.. Keeps food moist and I like goes from stove to oven.. Looking forward to trying some more receipes in it!!

This pan conducts heat very well, is a great size and adding the lid at the end of the grilling process adds moisture for a perfect result.
