cast iron grill pan — what works, what doesn't
I just impulse bought a cast-iron grill pan on sale because I've never cooked with cast iron before, and I was wondering — I'm excited to cook meats etc with it, but if I tried to make shakshuka or skillet pizza, would the grill lines create big problems for me when cleaning? any tips would be greatly appreciated!! :)

Also, I presume that you will need to season your grill pan as you would a regular cast-iron skillet; so be mindful of how you wash it.
Yes to pizza. There's a thread on reddit a few years ago with detailed suggestions.
Shakshuka, I think, would be hard to make on this pan.
It's relatively shallow and you would have a hard time maintaining a deep enough layer of sauce in which to poach the eggs.
Scrambled eggs, on the other hand, would probably work.
