Know before you buy
The design is embossed into the surface, which may leave a decorative impression on items like pancakes or tortillas. Because it is cast iron, it maintains excellent heat retention across the entire surface, though you may need to use a bit more oil or butter to ensure delicate batters don't stick in the recessed areas.
Yes, this cast iron griddle is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, glass-top stoves, ovens, grills, and even campfires.
The Ocean Blue Deluxe Handle Holder is designed to protect your hands from heat while moving the griddle on the stovetop. However, it is not intended for use inside an oven or over an open flame, so be sure to remove it before placing the pan in high-heat environments.
To maintain the seasoning, hand-wash the griddle with warm water and a stiff brush. Avoid using harsh detergents or the dishwasher, and always dry it thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil after cleaning to prevent rust.
Yes, it arrives pre-seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil. You can start cooking with it immediately, though the nonstick properties will continue to improve as you use it over time.
