It sounds like to me some of you think the hole is all the way through
the pan, it's not. It's just on the INSIDE bottom of the pan. There is
not a hole on the outside.

I've never used or owned a cast iron pan before. The warranty says,
"Minor imperfections and slight color variations are normal". I didn't
know if the hole was normal or not. If it was in any other type of pan
I would have known it was defective right away. Cast iron is not like
any other pan.

I did not buy this pan because it's Emerilware, I don't even like
Emeril. I bought it because it had deeper ridges than any of the other
cast iron grill pans I saw. I also read reviews for it that said it
was a good pan. And lastly, I had a gift card that needed using at the
store I bought it at and couldn't find anything else there I wanted. I
wanted a cast iron grill pan and everything I've read indicated this
one was a good one.

There's no need for anyone to be rude.
