Know before you buy
Yes, the Lodge Oval Serving Griddle is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and halogen ranges.
No, it comes pre-seasoned with natural vegetable oil, so it is ready to use right out of the box. Simply give it a quick rinse and dry before your first cook.
To keep the surface in top condition, hand wash the griddle with warm water and a mild soap if needed, dry it thoroughly immediately after, and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to prevent rust.
Yes, this griddle is oven-safe, making it an excellent choice for finishing dishes or keeping food warm before serving.
Because the surface is naturally seasoned and nonstick, most residue wipes away easily. However, since it lacks a grease channel, it is best suited for searing or serving rather than cooking foods with high fat content that would require significant drainage.
