Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron 2-in-1 Double-Sided Reversible Grill Pan/Griddle Plate for Indoor and Outdoor Use. Flat and Ridged. Induction, Oven, Grill and Metal Utensil Safe. Made in The USA

This is one of the best cast iron skillet I've owned. It came pre seasoned which gives a good starting point to build up a great cooking surface. Being double sided gives loads of cooking options and has enough cooking surface for 3 medium sized burgers. I use mine over the gas cooker (big enough to cover 2 gas hobs) and thus have better control over temperature zones. The ridged side gives amazing charred lines. It's not light weight either...so be prepared! Also it keeps heat very well and fairly long enough. As fas as cleaning it's easy as long as you pat it dry, place it over the hob to finish drying and as soon as it's totally dry, straight away cover the WHOLE skillet with a light coat of vegetable oil (IK there's other good ones to use)...WARNING the skillet is going to be hot...let it cool down and store.

This has sat permanently on my range cooker since purchasing a few months ago. I use it to cook steaks, bacon, burgers and chicken among other things. It's absolutely brilliant and I haven't used my 12 inch skillet since purchasing it. Pros Large cooking surface area; you can get a lot of food on this at once Retains its heat exceptionally well - as expected from cast iron Factory Seasoning is good enough to cook with right away and it's improved as I've used it. Cons A bit awkward to clean - because of the size and weight of it, it's not easy to get it under the tap. The grill side is worse for cleaning and I've found I leave it on the flat side because of this. The initial texture was a bit rough, but it's gotten smoother as I've used it. All in all a high quality bit of cookware, that gives great results, provided you know how to (or are prepared to learn) use and look after cast iron.

This works on my glass top cooker! I’ve used both sides, both sides heat,well one more quickly than other, but not much difference in either side, I turn off heat and let it cool enough to handle as this gets very hot!!! easily cleaned with a brush, and water, even burnt food, I don’t use any washing up liquid on my cast iron, I dry it off on hot cooker top, after each clean,, then oil lightly with olive oil on a cloth, ready for next use, tip use plenty of oil at first use, do not lift when hot without a thick cloth to protect you hands, this is heavy, should last a lifetime, fits well on the double burner of my electric cooker, can control either burner,

Amazing quality

Why did you choose this product over others?: Great for pancakes on the hob! I also purchased to go on my Weber Go Anywhere BBQ. It’s slightly longer than the BBQ but you can still rest the lid on top. I found it great for smash burgers with the added bonus of using it inside on the induction hob. 5 star if it was flat, mine rocks very slightly.

I'm a bit of a Lodge fanboy having various skillets in different sizes, griddles, dutch ovens etc etc. I bought this griddle plate as it sits very nicely on the two rear burners (which are the same size) of my gas hob. It's really useful for burgers, steaks, chicken etc. I have cooked American style pancakes on the flat size too. Works well on my Weber Kettle BBQs too. I'm always looking for new pieces to add to my collection and usually end up ordering from Amazon US via Amazon UK and save £££ in delivery.

Doesn't heat evenly on induction! Turns out this is a "feature" of cast iron, that it develops hot spots and cool spots and you learn to use them in your cooking, apparently! It means you can't cook a full griddle of pankcakes because 1/3 burn and 2/3 cook unevenly. most pans have different materials to allow for more even heating across the pan. This one does not, so cannot really be used. Shame. It looks nice and finish is good, just doesn't work.

Good things: Not very expensive, usual solid Lodge construction, comes well-seasoned. Bad things: It's not entirely flat, so it will wobble on a flat stovetop like an induction hob. It also slides around on glass, because it only rests on 3 corners. That makes it not so good since it has no handle to grab it to stop it sliding off the hob if you try to flip something you're cooking. If you use a protective mat to stop it scratching the hob top and keep it from sliding around and wobbling, then the hob (mine at least) will only work with the smooth side down, and not the serrated side down. With serrated side down and a non-slip mat, the induction mechanism cannot engage with the pan and will not heat it up. Instead you get a lot of relays clicking in the hob and no heat. All of this makes it unusable for things like american-style pancakes or anything you want a flat griddle surface for. I'm sure it would be great on a gas cooker or charcoal grill - all the things pictures in the product photos - but I cannot recommend it for an induction hob.

Griglia grandiosa, un acquisto azzeccato per le nostre necessità. Abbiamo cotto di tutto, bistecche, braciole, pollo, verdure e il risultato è stato ottimo, abbiamo migliorato notevolmente la versatilità del nostro piano cottura ad induzione. Il lato con la piastra è perfetto per fare i pancake, si cuociono in modo uniforme e non si attaccano. La pulizia è relativamente semplice, basta non farla raffreddare troppo e non accanirsi con l'eccessiva pulizia. Ricordatevi sempre di asciugare bene e ungere con un po' di olio la piastra prima di riporla, pena l'insorgere di ruggine.

Love it. The griddle looks so clean and glossy. I had bought other brands of cast iron products that arrived with rusty spot and smelly. Lodge is such an amazing contrast. This is an addition to my collection of Lodge cast iron. My 5 year old Lodge skillets and dutch ovens are such a help in my kitchen. I love the fact that I can be brutal with them unlike those non stick ones. Amazing breads, tart tatin, pies, steak and more have come of them. This grillgriddle will help me make more steaks at a go. I have been blessed by the quality food it cooks. Yes! Love the Lodge.

Tiene poco que la compré, la he usado ya un par de veces para asar carne, una vez te acostumbras a controlar el fuego para obtener el término al que deseas tu carne, se comporta muy bien; mantiene el calor uniforme en casi todas su superficie (la probé en quemadores a gas de una estufa común, y de inmediato se nota que funcionaría igual de bien en fuego de carbón o leña). Mi recomendación es que para que no batallen en su limpieza, después de usarla estando aún caliente, le pongan un poco de agua tibia o caliente y la tallen con escobetilla de cerdas naturales, si es necesario, pueden usar un raspador de parrillas plástico, y ya frío dar otra ligera tallada con muy poco jabón (nunca usar fibra de metal), secar bien y aceitarla ligeramente por todos lados con el aceite comestible de preferencia (yo uso de semilla de uva o de oliva), así nunca se oxidará. Y si un día se les oxida por olvidar aceitarla o curarla, hay muchos vídeos en youtube para rescatarla, nunca se desecha un utensilio de hierro fundido por oxidarse, sólo hay que aplicarle tratamiento para remover el óxido <<reposándolo algunas horas dentro de vinagre, enjuagándolo con agua y tallándolo con sal y escobetilla plástica, volver a enjuagar y reposar en vinagre>> repitiendo esta operación las veces necesarias hasta que desaparezca el óxido, y luego lavarla y secarla para curar con aceite y horno [La página de Lodge tiene vídeos para saber cómo curar correctamente].

This reversible cast iron grill and griddle is hands-down one of the best purchases I’ve made for my kitchen. The quality is exactly what you’d expect from Lodge—heavy-duty, durable, and built to last. I love that it’s pre-seasoned, which made it ready to go right out the box (Although I seasoned it again. I’ll give instructions on what I did at the very end of this review in my “PRO TIP”, if you’re interested in doing the same.). I’ve used it for everything from searing steaks and flipping pancakes to grilling veggies and making breakfast sandwiches, and it performs beautifully every single time. The heat retention is unmatched, and I love how evenly it cooks no matter what side I’m using. It turns an ordinary stovetop or campfire into a professional cooking surface, and it’s become one of my go-to tools whether I’m indoors or out. Cleaning it is surprisingly easy, especially if you care for it properly, and it just gets better with time. Like, seriously! Lodge just never disappoints, and this piece is no exception. If you’re serious about your cooking or just want to elevate your meals with that classic cast iron flavor, this is the one to get. It’s reliable, versatile, and honestly—an absolute joy to cook with. And now for my “PRO-TIP”… PRO TIP:: Give it a little extra oiling and bake it a few times when you first get it though (if interested, I’ll tell you how below) — you’ll fall in love with the results. Use an oil with a high smoke point and that forms a good layer of seasoning, like canola oil, Crisco (vegetable shortening), or grapeseed oil. I’ve used vegetable oil too. Avocado oil, I think can be used too, but don’t quote me on that particular one as I’ve never used it. But if I take a guess, I THINK it can be. But the FIRST thing you do even before oiling it and baking it is wash it thoroughly as soon as you get it with a teeny-tiny bit of soap and hot water, EVEN IF IT SAYS IT IS PRESEASONED! But ONLY DO THIS ONCE! After this first wash, you won’t have to use soap ever again! This is to remove any of the factory residue. But you are then to dry the pan completely. Then with a think layer of oil (I pour a bit on the pan and then take a paper towel and wipe it completely with oil in all of the nooks and crannies inside and out and the handle with an even coat of whatever oil you choose to use. Place it upside down on your top oven rack and put a baking sheet (or if you want to line the bottom rack with foil you can do that instead of the baking sheet) on the bottom rack to catch the excess oil that drips off the pan. Bake this @ 450 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour. Then turn the oven off and let it cool completely inside the oven to allow the oil to set. Now, for a smoother, non-stick finish, it’s BEST to repeat this process 2 or 3 times, BUT you don’t have to. I like to though, but who knows…maybe it’s because I’m extra. Then, BOOM! Your brand new cast iron is ready to make some magic happen!! Enjoy!!

I used it for 4 years now and I'm very satisfied! Perfect to cook vegetables on my Napoleon BBQ (XT Rogue 525). My advice : clean, dry and season your plaque with oil after each use.
