Carbon steel ridges that actually sear

This is a grill pan built the way carbon steel should be: thin-gauge, black steel with tall ridges that char and mark meat and vegetables the way an open flame does, without needing one. It heats fast, drops heat fast, and takes a hotter pre-heat than most nonstick or enameled pans can handle before smoking out. Lighter than cast iron, so it’s easier to move on and off a burner mid-service. It ships with a thin wax coating to keep it from rusting on the shelf. Scrub that off with hot water and a little soap, dry it over heat, then season before the first cook. After that, it only gets better with use.
A grill pan earns a spot on the line by doing one job better than the alternatives, and this one does: it gets hot enough to mark a steak or a bunch of scallions properly, then cools fast enough to not overcook the next thing that hits it. Carbon steel takes the seasoning and abuse of daily service better than anything coated, and it's light enough to hand off, wipe down, and hang back up between tickets.
