Jean-Patrique Divided Stove Top Grill, Lazy Pan - Divided Frying Pan with Multi Sections for Gas, Electric, Induction & Oven, 10.6" Diameter

I ordered this due to not only the marketing but mainly due to the amazing reviews this pan was receiving. I must say I have not been disappointed. It's early days but so far I have been impressed with the quality of the pan and the non stick coating which is fab but also the the customer service. Firstly the customer service - On being delivered I excitedly opened the box (sad I know but lockdown has decreased my threshold on these things) to find the lid was dented. I immediately reported it and received immediate apologies and within two days a replacement pan arrived - Brilliant, no quibble, good old fashioned customer service! The pan - Looks and feels great quality. It's not cast iron but still feels built to last and solid with a nice weight. I had an eye rolling moment when I read that dishwasher use was not really recommended - but having used it to cook two good sized Rib Eyes for it's inaugural use, the non stick coating worked brilliantly and though it was covered with oils and cooking residue, it washed so easily I felt positively lazy groaning about it! The steaks cooked brilliantly with lovely sear marks by the way. I'm looking forward to using it loads and am confident this will be the go to pan for loads of different recipes. If you are not used to picking up pans with hot handles then I would recommend the silicone handle protectors for the heat but if you treat it as if it is cast iron, when lifting it and use oven gloves etc you won't have any nasty surprises. My best purchase of the year so far. If you're dithering - don't, just buy it!

Love the pan, looks good as well

I am pleased with all aspects of this griddle pan. I bought it specifically because it was suitable for my induction hob. It produces the lovely brown lines on cooked items, including steaks, burgers, bacon, chicken and courgette slices. Just brush a small amount of oil on the surface and away you go. I've had no issues with warping as some have reported but then again I've not kept it on full heat so long as to cause that. Once it's up to heat, turn it dawn. The build quality is very good and the nonstick coating is cleaned very easily. The lid is very handy as it aids cooking, keeping the heat and moisture in and the meats have all been lovely and tender. I haven't tried it in the oven but I recommend buying the optional silicone handle covers as they get very, very hot!

Used this for the first time last night and cooked our steaks really well, gave a nice char effect. The only down side was there was a weird smell but think this is because it was brand new, it didn’t make the food taste weird. Also the handles get mega hot, I even bought the plastic handles as extra and they were pointless as still could not touch the handles as too hot so just to beware.

Sturdy pan, cooks meat well and can be transferred to the oven so quite versatile. Beware the handles get very hot so you have to be vigilant and I have purchased the silicone covers for the handles.

This is really high quality! Handels do get as hot as the pan but i knew that going into this and I dont care ! This is a do it right the firts time type of product.

I bought this pan as, while I love my cast iron skillet, it's a little bit small for cooking for the family, and the routine of keeping it clean and seasoned is a pain at times. This seemed like an excellent compromise between a non-stick and cast-iron, and so far it's lived up to expectations. The pan (on my gas hob) heats up quickly and the heat appears to be very uniform across the pan. The surface has been easy to clean so far, and I've fried bacon in it, griddled some veggies and (as pictured) made a mega-cookie using it in the oven, and it's been great for all three. I'm looking forward to trying it out with a decent sized steak. Only drawback is that the handles get *incredibly* hot - silicon protectors are nowhere near sufficient, and you really need a proper pair of thick oven gloves to safely handle it, but that's not really any different from cast iron either, so can't complain too much there. Definitely feels like a solid and useful addition to the kitchen.

I bought the XL size and have so far used it to cook salmon, steak and sear beef for stew. I find a light coating of oil is all that’s needed for the meat and none at all for salmon. The excess oil in the salmon runs away into the grooves and everything l’ve cooked has a better taste, smells good and looks like a chef has cooked it. The pan is not heavy or difficult to clean, l just boil some water in a kettle and add it to the pan with some washing up liquid to soak before l wash it. There is no temptation to touch the bare metal handles without oven gloves, they are so obviously part of the hot pan. I hesitated before spending what seemed a lot of money on this pan but now l think it is well worth it.
