One of the standout characteristics of cast iron is its ability to retain heat. When preheated, an extra large cast iron skillet can reach and maintain high temperatures far better than traditional non-stick or stainless steel pans. This feature not only allows for even cooking but also creates the perfect sear on meats. The lid plays a critical role here too; it traps heat and moisture, ensuring that everything cooks evenly and reduces cooking time.

The maintenance of a cast iron grill frying pan is relatively simple, but it does require some attention. It's important to season your pan regularly to maintain its non-stick surface and prevent rust.
