I researched griddle pans extensively before buying this one for £5.99 when Amazon was running an offer on it. I also looked into:
1) Teflon-type non-stick pans but they cannot tolerate the high temperatures needed to sear meat and fish properly without damage to the Teflon coating, and
2) enamelled cast-iron pans such as Le Creseut, Chasseur, Molten and others. One of the advantages of enamelled cast iron is that it does not rust and does not interact with acidic substances (e.g. citrus juice, wine, vinegar etc.), which means that you are able to de-glaze the pan to make a sauce or gravy.
However, when properly seasoned and looked after as per instructions, nothing beats bare cast iron for searing meat, fish and vegetables.
Admittedly, I did repeat the seasoning process no less than 3 times to create a shiny, non-stick patina which now looks good and works perfectly. On the whole, I'm very happy with this pan's performance and am really glad I did not dish out a fortune on a Le Creuset as this one is more than adequate for the job.
Tip: Beware that, as with any cast iron pan, this one will warp if you place it on a high heat instead of allowing it to heat up gradually.

I'm only reviewing because I think some reviews are very unfair.
Firstly you have to season the pan or it won't be non-stick. Cover it in oil or lard and bake the pan for an hour at 225 degrees celcius, Do this three times and then start using it. Do this process every now and again when you can be bothered afterwards.
Also, when cleaning you literally have to get some kitchen roll and wipe out the pan whilst it's still hot. Pouring cold water into the pan can crack the metal. Using water on it when it's cold is dodgy as iron loves rust and it doesn't take much water or time to leave spots all over your cast iron cookware.
If you follow these rules, you'll get a well seasoned, non-stick and all round brilliant pan that could last 100 years (which has been known)

Forget the poor comments. If you season the pan; oil all over and bake for 1 hour at 200 C before using it then it is non stick and distributes the heat evenly. I use it on electric and gas (gas is better) with excellent criss cross grill marks on steak and chicken. Yes, it may be a little heavy but it is cast iron, not usually considered the lightweight option. I'm pleased and would buy another.

Excellent cast iron grill
Paid only £7 for it, and it is outstanding!
Seasoned according to the instructions when first got it. Heated gently first to dry off all the water. Read more

Not bad
Mine has lasted over a year so far. Be sure to let it warm up with the heat source or else it will warp out of shape in no time.

Bargain!!
It's a great pan for the price. Had it two months I glazed it only once before using it, but always wipe it out and it never touches water! Read more

Hard to season.
