If you don't have a grill pan, you might want to invest in one. I use an All-Clad LTD Nonstick Grande Grill Pan for grilling shrimp, chicken, salmon, steaks, burgers...well, you name it. Which reminds me of a little story...

Let me start by saying that I am a multi-tasker. As a matter of fact, I can't seem to do just one thing at a time. Sometimes that's a good thing but not always...

Shortly after getting my All-Clad LTD Nonstick Grande Grill Pan , I put it on the stove, preheated it, put some steak on there and began fixing the twice baked potatoes and the salad that we were going to have with the steak. A few minutes later, I turned back to check on the steak and I had flames shooting up around the grill pan. Well, there was a little switch that turns the light on inside the oven that was located right above the grill pan on the back of the stove. Notice I used the word WAS! Yeah well...that sucker melted!

Moral of the story is, when using a grill pan on a gas stovetop, keep the heat turned down and your eyes on the grillpan!
