As I write, I am sipping a glass of Merlot and grilling a big pork chop. I've tried to marinade it with garlic salt, pepper, rosemary, soy sauce and orange marmalade.

As good as I am hoping it may taste, it looks as if I'll have a real sticky mess in the pan! This is a grill pan with little ridges, so the cleaning will be that much more difficult.

Any idea how to clean this? I was thinking perhaps a bit of wine would loosen the baked-on crud. Any other suggestions?

Try soaking it with baking soda. Steel wool works well too if its not non-stick.

most people overheat the grill, resulting in a big mess...

I let my grille pans sit o'nite in soapy water then use steel wool if too stubborn. Your chop sounds good... catfish night for me.

Actually....If you put it back on the stove and heat it up. You can "deglaze" it with water.
