Ridges make marks; the space between them is where searing stops · review
The Lodge square grill pan with two assist handles and a red silicone handle holder in the box.
The same 10.5-inch ribbed cast iron as the long-handled Lodge, with two assist handles and a silicone handle holder.
Assist handles put your hands closer to the pan’s center of gravity, which is safer with a hot, heavy pan. They also let it fit in smaller ovens. You lose the long handle that makes draining fat easy.
There is no weight and no stated temperature limit for the silicone holder. Use dry mitts if you are unsure.

The 10.5-inch square grill pan and a red silicone hot handle holder. The listing calls it a combo pack.
Better for carrying, worse for pouring. The long-handled pan is cheaper and is what most people need.
