Cooking, Purpose, Grill


Question by harlowtoo:

What is the purpose of cooking on a grill pan?

On cooking shows, I have often seen them use stove-top grill pans to cook meat. I have never used one and wonder what the purpose of them is. Is it just to give the finished product the pretty grill marks, purely aesthetic, or is there some other reason they are so popular? Also, can they be used on any type of range - gas, electric, glass-top?

BY NOT EXPOSING THE ENTIRE FACE OF THE STEAK TO A FLAT PAN----THE STEAK HAS A FAR LESS CHANCE TO BURN---THE GROVES ALLOW COOKING WITH HEATED AIR TO SAFLEY COOK THE STEAK........AND OF COURSE THOSE EYE APETITE -PLEASING CHAMPION CROSS MARKS ARE THERE FOR THE PRIZE.........
