What customers say
This Camp Chef cast iron griddle earns high praise, especially from users of Camp Chef stoves. Customers consistently highlight its heavy-duty construction, which ensures superior heat retention and even distribution for excellent cooking results. The large size is frequently noted as ideal for feeding families or small groups efficiently. While the factory seasoning allows for immediate use, dedicated users understand that building a truly nonstick surface takes time. The griddle’s substantial weight is the main consideration, though it supports the overall quality. Overall, this accessory is viewed as a durable, high-performance workhorse that offers exceptional value for serious outdoor cooking.
Know before you buy
Yes, it features a True Seasoned Finish, meaning it is pre-seasoned and ready for immediate cooking. However, you may want to lightly oil it before your first use to maintain the non-stick surface.
This griddle is oven-safe, making it versatile for indoor use. While it is designed for outdoor cooking, it can be used on gas stovetops, provided the burner size and grate stability are appropriate for its 17-inch width.
The integrated diffuser plates are designed to spread heat evenly across the entire 224-square-inch cooking surface. This helps eliminate hot spots, ensuring your food cooks consistently regardless of where it is placed on the griddle.
After cooking, scrape off any food residue and use the integrated grease drain to clear excess oil. Wash with warm water and a stiff brush, dry thoroughly immediately to prevent rust, and apply a light coating of oil before storing.
At 18 pounds, the griddle is substantial enough to remain stable on most cooking surfaces. Its weight, combined with the durable cast iron and carbon steel construction, provides a sturdy platform for flipping sandwiches or searing meats.
