What customers say
Customers highly value the Lodge Reversible Grill Griddle for its exceptional quality and versatile dual functionality. The ribbed grill side excels at searing, while the smooth griddle is perfect for breakfast items. Users consistently praise the robust heat retention inherent to cast iron, which delivers reliable cooking results. The primary focus of feedback centers on maintenance; while pre seasoned, achieving optimal nonstick performance requires diligent user seasoning.

Overall, the consensus views this durable piece as a worthwhile long term investment that significantly elevates cooking capabilities.
Know before you buy
Yes, this cast iron piece is fully compatible with induction cooktops. Because it spans two burners, ensure your induction range has a bridge function or two compatible zones to maintain even heat across the entire surface.
It is ready to use right out of the box, as it comes pre-seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil. However, like all cast iron, you should continue to season it periodically after washing to maintain its non-stick performance and prevent rust.
The integrated drip trays are designed to catch excess grease and liquids while you cook. Since the pan is reversible, you simply orient the pan so the grease channels are positioned toward the edge of your stovetop to prevent overflow.
Yes, this cast iron grill/griddle is oven-safe. It is an excellent choice for finishing dishes in the oven or even baking, provided you have enough space to accommodate its 19.5-inch length.
Hand wash the pan with warm water and a stiff brush, avoiding harsh detergents. Dry it thoroughly on the stovetop over low heat to remove any moisture, then apply a very light coat of oil before storing to keep the surface protected.
The Chef Collection features ergonomic, lifted handles that provide better leverage than traditional flat-tab handles. Even so, because it is cast iron, the handles will get hot, so you must use heat-resistant oven mitts when moving the pan.
