Emeril Five-In-One Cast Iron Pan - Anyone Try It?

[ExercisetoEat]

Thumbing through the latest Williams-Sonoma catalog I came across this five-in-one cast iron pan from Emeril.

Supposedly it can be used for roasting, grilling, stove-top smoking, deep-frying, and broiling. I don't have any non-enameled cast iron and am interested in getting a skillet at a minimum, but thought that this might be more all-purpose. Does anyone own this pan or have you seen it in person? Thoughts?

Thanks!

It's $100.

You could do the same things (save stovetop smoking, but I never "got" that anyway) with a Lodge cast iron skillet and grill pan for less than half the price. Or skip the grill pan, since it doesn't really grill anyway.
