I am having a problem with my indoor grill pan? serious answers please.?

we bought a indoor grill pan and have used it twice the problem is my grill is smoking up the house something fierce and i have treated it with oil and everything. Is this normal and what can i do to prevent the smoking or there not much to do?

If it is cast iron, treating it with oil is a good idea. If not, the oil isn't necessary until you are cooking something. Try lowering the temperature on the stove-top. Another reason for smoking...check the bottom of the pan to see if any grease or food debris is leftover. That could definitely cause smoking and flare-ups. Also, check the burners for greasy residue and food debris. Make sure those are clean as well. If you continue to have problems after everything is cleaned and lowering the temp doesn't work, contact the manufacturer of the pan. The info should be on the packaging or check the internet if the packaging has been thrown away. Any remaining problems could be the result of a poorly made or faulty piece of equipment (i.e. a teflon pan may have a problem with the coating). Try lowering the temp and checking the bottom of the pan and the burners first, then contact the manufacturer if nothing else helps. Good luck!
