Looks like a double burner, cast iron, indoor grill cooking tool. And it is just that. Not pre-seasoned, but I prefer to do my own seasoning myself anyway. Works great, even heat, nice grill marks on food, easy, almost non-stick, cleaning. Fits in my cast iron cooking tools drawer with ease (36W x 22D)
Would I buy this again, YES. Would I recommend this to a friend, YES. Would I give it to my kids, NO, go buy your own!

This grill pan is solid cast iron, long enough to cover completely the two burners on one side of my electric stove, and does what I want it to do--cook meats, fish and vegetables indoors with less fat. Does it really "grill" them? No, but it's not the fault of this particular pan. If you want real grilling, use a barbeque. Obviously you don't get that smokey flavor from this. But if you want to cook a steak or some onions and peppers for a fajita and you can't or don't want to fire up the barbeque, this will do a good job, searing the food where it touches it but not sauteing or frying it. It also uses a lot less energy than an oven, and takes less time.I've found two downsides of grill pans. First, since it's not designed to be used with much, if any, fat, some foods will stick. I've had some problems cooking fish; when it comes time to flip or remove a salmon fillet, you may find yourself scraping vigorously with a spatula to avoid leaving that nice crust behind, stuck to the pan, even though you've brushed the fish with oil first. This may change eventually, if the pan gets thoroughly seasoned from use. (Of course, the alternative is a non-stick version, but no, thank you.)
Second, be sure you have a hood fan that works well, or a very well ventilated kitchen, or your house will likely fill with smoke. Putting a cover (or upside-down pot) over it may help.
But these issues are inherent with grill pans. This particular model is well designed and well made and reasonably priced. It's solid without weighing a ton, and I've had no problem with warping or cracking. It has a flat griddle on the other side, useful for pancakes or, for those who like them fried, burgers. Being cast iron, it should be washed without soap (so it maintains seasoning) and dried thoroughly before storage (or it will rust).
