We use this all the time. It's great for making homemade English muffins, pancakes, burgers, etc. It's great across a large center burner on the stove, and we actually chose a stove without a built-in griddle because we already had this and knew it would be way easier to clean. Just be sure to dry it fully if you wash it (put it on some heat until it's dry) to avoid it rusting.

Preheat, lightly oil, and enjoy effortless, delicious meals on both the smooth and ridged sides. [after a proper seasoning] Ideal for stovetop or outdoor grill use. Durable and easy to clean!

All about cast iron for a grilling surface.

Before you buy any cast iron cookware be aware of the work it takes to keep it pristine and always ready for use. I like to use my cast iron cookware on my grill. That is why I bought this griddle. When it heats up, it holds it heat, and gives a great sear. I love cooking burgers fast locking in the juices and giving crispy edges. As in smash burgers. I also love to blacken salmon on this griddle. It also turns out crispy and juicy. I like keeping the fish smells outside. The uses are endless. But it does require work to keep it clean and seasoned. Read the instructions and you will be satisfied with your cooking results.

Awesome griddle

We love it! We're a family of seven so cooking pancakes on a griddle is a must. It does take a while to learn how to cook on it, especially on our glass electric cooktop. It turned out our burners were not exactly calibrated the same; one was hotter than the other. We needed to learn how long it takes for the griddle to heat up and more importantly how long it takes to cool down (along with the electric heating elements). Now that we have mastered that, cooking on it is a dream.

Best Griddle for Chefs

This griddle is one of the best compared to other products available; the two-sided design makes it versatile for cooking items like pancakes, tortillas, and other foods that require a flat surface. The grill side is ideal for grilling meat, sandwiches, and other items that cook well on a grill surface. The seasoned finish keeps food from sticking and is easy to clean.

Great grill addition.

Love this. It's great for the backyard grill, or the campfire, or the beach charcoal grill. Cleaning is easy. Very heavy duty. It says it's pre-seasoned, but I did it again anyway after I gave it a cleaning when I first brought it home.

Poor Packaging with shipment

I have previously owned one of these griddles. I loved it. I ordered to replace my old one that I gave to a friend. Problem isn't with the item but the packaging and shipping. The item was shipped in the box that you would find it in the store. The plastic fork, spoon and knife I also ordered came packaged better than this item. It's cast iron so can be brittle. If it was packaged properly I most likely wouldn't have to be returning it.

When I got my new cooktop, I decided to buy a griddle and I'm so glad that I did. I choose Lodge because of it's reputation and the fact that it is a long-time family owned US company. I use it all of the time. My husband watched a video on the best way to make a burger, and cast iron won out. I immediately decided to try it. 4 min on each side and it was perfect. It easy to clean.I let it cool off then wipe it with a paper towel, wash it with hot water (and a metal scrubber if there is anything that won't just rinse off) and dry with a paper towel. I only found two issues with the griddle. It is heavy. I would say about 30 lbs. and for this 72 year old lady, that is heavy. Second, when I use it I have to remember to turn on the stove fan or it sets off the smoke ... MoreWhen I got my new cooktop, I decided to buy a griddle and I'm so glad that I did.

[Rewarded Review] Everyone needs one .

So this thing is great but I only use the flat side. Fits the burners on the stove or works on the grill outside for a hot griddle. Extreme non stick if you keep it oiled. Works better than a pan due to its size for cooking bacon or fajitas. I used it for canned biscuits and itworls better than a pan . I'll be buying the whole set of options.

[Rewarded Review] Griddle Power.

I've always had a problem with seasoning cast iron cookware. Even when I follow the directions to season them, it never seems to turn out right. This Lodge Cast Iron Griddle was already seasoned at the factory. What a great idea. Before I used it, for the first time, I followed their directions, "hand wash, dry, & rub with cooking oil". After that, I slowly let the griddle warm up, on my gas range, before cooking pancakes. Just before I poured the batter on the griddle, I rubbed butter on the griddle. The pancakes did not stick to the griddle. They cooked perfectly. Now, each time I use this griddle I hand wash, dry & rub with cooking oil, before I apply butter, for cooking. The 10.5" wide x 20" long griddle fits perfectly over my 2 burners & gave even distribution ... MoreI've always had a problem with seasoning cast iron cookware.

The 10.5" wide x 20" long griddle fits perfectly over my 2 burners & gave even distribution of heat. The two handles allowed me to pick up the griddle, with oven mitts, without getting the mitts soiled. The ribbed side of the griddle is also, very large. I was able to easily cook 6- 4.5" diameter hamburgers, at one time. The hamburger grease collected in a deep trough, along one side of the griddle. Both sides of the griddle have a generous grease trough. I'm sure this heavy duty, nearly 14-lb. griddle, will last me a lifetime.
