"Surrender no more to the seasons of the sun, for you can enjoy delicious food, cooked to absolute perfection, any night that you wish to stay inside," writes author Jamee Ruth in Grill Pan Cookbook. The basic rule for using a grill pan is to preheat the pan over medium heat until it is very hot, and Ruth advises using a pan with a nonstick finish. The recipes are relatively simple, most with a half-dozen or so ingredients, and use contemporary flavors like wasabi paste and citrus-raspberry vinaigrette. Aside from the obvious indoor-outdoor differences, cooking delicate food is one area where the grill pan can set itself apart from the traditional grill. With no slats for the food to fall through, small or flaky items like artichoke hearts or mussels can be tossed on the grill without worrying about them feeding the fire instead of your family.
